"You look more fit every single time I see you," host Jimmy Kimmel told the "Son of a Sinner" rapper.
"What's going on?" "Listen, I've been thinking about ways to make it sound cool, but I can't," he said. He then listed off the three things that have been contributing to his success: "I'm eating a lot of protein and vegetables and walking. That's what I'm doing.
" Jelly Roll revealed what he hopes to do as he gets closer to his desired weight. "I do have a number in mind ..
. to do all the fun stuff in life, you got to be under 250," he said. "So my goal, I want to skydive, I want to ride a roller coaster, I want to ride a bull.
I know it sounds crazy. I want to wrestle an alligator. I got a list of things that I want to do," he said.

Jelly Roll has come a long way in his weigh loss journey. In a 2018 Instagram , he said he struggled with his weight all his life and it wasn't until 2016 that he decided to do something about it. "I started fighting to save my own life," he said.
"I lost roughly 200 lbs. it wasn’t a fast journey it was actually quite slow." Jelly Roll said in his post that he had gained 60 pounds back since then, and mentioned that being on tour made it difficult to "balance life living out of truck stops and always running late to the shows, never getting adequate sleep and all the drinking.
" In 2024, while appearing on his wife , he revealed why he wanted to make his weight loss journey public. “I did this publicly for a reason,” he said. “I want to be honest about my struggles with it with people.
I wore it for so long. 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 out and lose the weight and they come back out and they don’t really know how to interact with the world looking different or feeling different.
” “And what I want the world to know and what I want the people to see, Bunnie, is that I didn’t become successful because of my weight," he added. "I became successful in spite of it. I somehow managed to be this successful with carrying 550 pounds.
That’s insane." Joyann Jeffrey is a trending news reporter based in New York City.
