Jelly Roll, the 39-year-old country star, recently announced his departure from X (formerly Twitter), calling it a "toxic" platform. On October 20, he shared his frustrations, labeling the site as a place where people can spread negativity without consequences.

His decision to leave came shortly after posting a photo with Jack Black and Chad Smith from the 2024 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ceremony, where he performed Ozzy Osbourne's "Mama, I'm Coming Home" in tribute to the legendary rocker.

Jelly Roll's exit from social media follows a revealing interview on Jay Shetty's podcast, where he discussed his troubled youth. He shared how a fight in his early teens led to jail time for strong-arm robbery, reflecting on the deep insecurities he felt growing up. The musician admitted to struggling with his past but expressed gratitude for the changes he's made over the years, noting that he's a very different person today.
