Jelly Roll Gets What He Asked For: Report Shows Social Media Following Plummets After He Goes Woke on Kimmel
Western Journal ^ | September 02, 2026 | Joe Saunders

Jelly Roll can’t say he didn’t ask for it.

After the rotund, country-rooted rapper drew fire from fans for using his guest-starring stint on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” for consecutive nights of bashing President Donald Trump with all the sneering condescension of the modern left, he responded to critics by essentially telling them to stop listening to him.

He might not have been expecting too many to take his advice.

In a podcast Monday and a post on the social media platform X, conservative social media personality Johnson reported that he’d run the numbers on Jelly Roll’s social media accounts and found that “hundreds of thousands” of the entertainer’s followers had abandoned him.

With the aid of a request to the artificial intelligence engine Grok, and using social media tracking websites, Johnson found that Jelly Roll’s followers had plummeted after his Kimmel guest-hosting spots.

Figures for TikTok were unavailable, Johnson said, but the number of followers lost for Jelly Roll on Instagram, Facebook, and X was considerably more than 100,000. And that isn’t the last of it.

“You have to assume there’s going to be attrition in other platforms,” Johnson said. “It’s hundreds of thousands … of subscribers.”

Not a fan.

Have come across too many YT shorts of podcast where he brags about his drug use and things he did.

I guess his name is an homage to the original Jelly Roll?

Nope, he says his mother gave him the nickname as a small child because he was ‘plump’......

BTW, in Jelly Roll Morton’s time, the term ‘Jelly Roll’ was a jazz euphemism for female genitalia...........

No. His grandmother named him that due to his rotundity.

I did not know that. I don’t like him much or at all but at least he’s not as fake as I thought he was.

As far as jelly roll being a euphemism For female Genitalia, it reminds me of the jazz song flat foot floogie with a floy floy; that being a prostitute with venereal disease.

My father used to sing that song a lot, i always thought he was making up all the words.......lol!

He’s not small anymore except in his thinking, I guess. At least he made Jimmy “Blackface” Kimmel happy.

It’s ashamed, he had three really good songs. Somebody Save Me a duet with Lainey Wilson, Only Talk to GOD when i need a favor and another. But he was all show and no go, divorced his wife and she resumed her stripper persona. He had country fooled for about 3 years.
