Country singer Jelly Roll has thrown the music industry into turmoil.

“I learned a lot this week about how slimy the music world is. Don’t worry, I’m going to reveal it soon. This whole thing is all smoke and mirrors,” Jelly Roll wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.

He added in his cryptic message: “Everything Russ is talking about is REAL!”

Jelly Roll, born Jason DeFord, had previously collaborated with rapper and songwriter Russ on a song called “Really Gone.”

Russ has previously gone viral for exposing the music industry.

“I learned that the whole industry is run by… it’s a few people,” Russ explains. “You know that guy at Spotify, that guy at Apple, you know this person at Rhythm Radio and this person at Urban Radio… with four people you can run the whole sh-t.”

Earlier this year, the New Jersey-born rapper also targeted major record labels and accused companies of buying fake streams.

“How are they fooling us?” asked Andrew Schulz on his “Flagrant” podcast. “Because I see these people going crazy, right? The album goes No. 1, but they can’t fill a show. So math isn’t math.”

“It’s real,” Russ said. “Here’s the deal, when you talk to these people, because I’ve been talking to these people, because I’m like, ‘What is this? How are you all doing this?’ They never reveal how they actually spoof the streams.”

Russ continued, “But the reality is the labels are spending money… Devil’s advocate, they’re treating it like a marketing expense. Because in a way, it almost is.”

The Schulz podcast has 1.76 million subscribers and he has high-profile guests, including former President Donald Trump recently on his show.

“The belief was that a lot of me believed that it would work out for me,” he said. “Can you imagine being a 37-year-old failed musician telling people this is your job?”

The Tennessee native noted, “It wasn’t like something I did on the side. It was my job. And I just always had faith that God had a bigger purpose for what I was trying to do.”
