Jelly roll has told fans he is opting out of using X as a social media platform.

The singer, 39, shared his decision via X on Sunday, October 20, posting a message detailing his new stance. “This is without a doubt the most toxic negative app to ever exist – PERIOD. Lol.” wrote Jelly Roll, real name Jason Bradley DeFord. “This place is different man, I always heard it was the Wild West here, but man, it’s crazy. It’s a safe place for everyone to say mean things to each other without consequences.”

He concluded his candid message with, “I’m out lol.” Jelly Roll’s X account has yet to be deactivated, and details of his April 2009 login are still visible on the platform.

Jelly Roll’s announcement comes after his wife, Bunnie Xo (real name Alyssa DeFord), spoke out in April about the cyberbullying her husband has faced on social media.

Jelly Roll has opened up about his ongoing health journey, revealing that he regularly attends Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) meetings. The country star, whose real name is Jason DeFord, spoke candidly about his proactive approach to his health during an interview with The New York Times published on Saturday, August 17.

“My husband quit the internet because he was so tired of being bullied because of his enormous weight. And that makes me want to cry because he is the sweetest angel baby,” Bunnie Xo, 44, said during the April 24 episode of her “Dumb Blonde” podcast. ‘My husband won’t show it to you, but I’m going to experience a very vulnerable moment here; it hurts him. The internet can say whatever they want about you, and they say, “Well, you’re a celebrity, you’re supposed to be able to handle that.” No, we are not.”

The model, who married Jelly Roll in 2016, also pointed out during the podcast episode that cyberbullying can have fatal consequences. ‘Do you know how many people commit suicide every year because they are bullied? Like, enough is enough,” she said. “Don’t bully people because you never know where they are mentally.”

Jelly Roll is the son of parents who suffered from addiction and mental illness. During the hip-hop star’s teenage years and early 20s, Jelly Roll was in and out of jail on marijuana possession and theft charges.

In 2023, Jelly Roll won a CMA award in the New Artist of the Year category. He also won three CMT awards for his song “Son of a Sinner” and was nominated twice for a Grammy.

Despite his success, Jelly Roll has remained grounded and has shared his struggles during many interviews and even on October 10 when he spoke about attending Alcoholics Anonymous meetings on an episode of the podcast “The Highway,” presented by Ania Hammar.

During the episode, Jelly Roll revealed that he attended his first meeting when he was a teenager. “Oh God, I can’t quite remember my first real meeting because I was court ordered when I was 14,” he said. “But I definitely remember the first time I found comfort in those rooms, or the first time I was introduced to the concept of this. And how much stuff I took from those rooms.”

Jelly Roll’s experiences at Alcoholics and Narcotics Anonymous meetings inspired his hit song “I Am Not Ok,” in addition to the song “Winning Streak” from his latest album, Beautifully broken.

“It was very difficult for me to get off those drugs,” he said The New York Times in August. “Something I do to maintain my relationship with those drugs is that I will still attend the meetings even though I am not a textbook sober guy – but I never share, I just sit quietly and appreciate the message and the meaning.”
