Jelly Roll Vows to Never Return to 'Toxic' and 'Insane' X App After Being Cyber Bullied
Jelly Roll is cutting out any negative energy in his life.
The musician, 39, took to X, formerly known as Twitter, on Sunday, October 20, to make it clear he is never returning to the application after dealing with people bullying him online.
Jelly Roll will never be returning to X, formerly known as Twitter.
“This is for sure the most toxic negative app to exist ever — PERIOD. Lol," he wrote in the candid message. "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 s--- to each other with no consequences. I’m out lol."
Jelly's firm stance comes after his wife, Bunnie XO, got candid about how it felt to watch the rapper, whose real name is Jason Bradley DeFord, receive mean comments from people about his appearance on social media. "My husband got off the internet because he is so tired of being bullied about his f------ weight. And, like, that makes me want to cry because he is the sweetest angel baby," she explained during an April episode of her "Dumb Blonde” podcast.
Jelly Roll's wife, Bunnie XO, opened up about how hard it was to watch him get bullied online.
"My husband doesn’t show it to you guys, but I’m going to have a very vulnerable moment here — it hurts him," Bunnie, whose real name is Alyssa DeFord, emotionally added. "The internet can say whatever the f--- they want about you, and they say, ‘Well, you’re a celebrity, you’re supposed to be able to handle it.’ No the f--- we’re not."
The blonde beauty, 44, went on to emphasize how lethal harmful remarks can be on somebody's well-being. "Do you know how many people kill themselves from being bullied a year? Like, enough is enough,” she said. "Don’t bully people because you never know where they are mentally."
Jelly Roll and Bunnie XO have been married since 2016.
The "Wild Ones" singer has been open about his difficult journey and fixing the mistakes from his past for a more positive future. "I was a really horrible kid all the way into my mid-20s," Jelly revealed during a recent episode of Jay Shetty’s “On Purpose Podcast.”
"I look back at those years, Jay, and I'm so embarrassed to talk about them. I was still a bad person in my early 30s," he continued. "I was always a bigger kid. So I had a little chip on my shoulder naturally as a young kid."
Jelly Roll admitted to having a chip on his shoulder in the past.
Luckily for the chart-topper, he made it a priority to change. "People are always like, 'You're the nicest dude I've ever met.' I'm like, 'I'm so glad y'all haven't met nobody that knew me 20 years ago,'" Jelly said. "I have a list of people to apologize to, but I just haven't made it that far down yet."
