In a move that resonated with many of his followers, Jelly Roll publicly declared his intention to leave X (formerly Twitter), branding it as the “most toxic” social media platform in existence. The country music sensation took to X on Sunday, Oct. 20, to voice his frustrations, stating, "This is for sure the most toxic negative app to exist ever — PERIOD. lol. This place is different man, I always heard it was the Wild West on here but man it’s insane. It’s a safe place for everyone to say mean stuff to each other with no consequences. I’m out lol." Yet, despite this bold announcement, he has not officially deactivated his X account.
Earlier in the year, Jelly Roll's wife Bunnie Xo shared insights into the cyberbullying her husband faced, particularly about his weight, on her Dumb Blonde podcast. She revealed how these online attacks deeply affected him: "My husband got off the internet because he is so tired of being bullied about his f–king weight... it hurts him." Bunnie Xo emphasized the severe impact of cyberbullying and urged people to consider the mental state of those they target online.
Adding to his challenging experiences in the digital realm, Jelly Roll also hinted at unsettling discoveries within the music industry. Before announcing his departure from X, he alluded to deceitful practices and promised revelations about what he termed as "smoke and mirrors" within the sector. He mentioned learning hard truths about industry dynamics that he plans to discuss further on his wife's podcast and highlighted during an appearance on Andrew Schulz’s Flagrant podcast.
Jelly Roll's candidness about his struggles with social media and transparency regarding the music industry has sparked conversations among fans and critics alike about the realities faced by public figures in today's digital age and entertainment landscape.

Poor Baby! He calls himself Jelly Roll, which is I`m sure a reference to his weight. and his wife hosts a podcast called dumb blondes which is a little self deprecating also, but their feelings get hurt from others words! Unbelievable!
