Speaking with CMT, Jelly Roll appeared excited to travel the world with Malone. But having spent over a year focused on the weight, the singer laughed, “I’m wondering if I lose a little more weight and when I get to Italy, if they’re gonna mistake me for Post Malone.” If the weight loss wasn’t enough to confuse people, both Jelly Roll and Malone have a love for face tattoos. “You know what I mean? Like, if I get skinny enough that they just see face tattoos. They’re like, ’Post! Post!’”

Jelly Roll Reveals New Goal For 2026

Continuing to gain support from fans and fellow singers, Jelly Roll never stayed quiet about his addictions. And when discussing his health with his wife, Bunnie XO, he noted why he decided to stay public throughout the entire process. “I think that people that become as big as I became, when they lose the weight, they’re kind of ashamed. They’re so ashamed that they go and hide and lose the weight, and then they come back out, and they don’t really know how to interact with the world, looking different or feeling different, you know?”

With Jelly Roll hoping to inspire others to get active and stay healthy, he added, “I wanted to lose it in front of everybody. I wanted to talk about it … This is constantly what I’m putting in the air because I want to bring people along with me.” 

Besides touring with Malone and talking about his weight, Jelly Roll revealed his new goal for 2025 and 2026.  “I wanna be on the cover of ‘Men’s Health’ by March of 2026. That’s my new goal. So I wanna have one of the biggest transformations.”
