Jelly Roll appeared on the December 10 episode of The Joe Rogan Experience and explained why he decided to embark on a dramatic weight loss transformation. According to the All My Life crooner, he shed over 200 pounds because he was concerned about his health. The singer feared he might not live long.“I could feel myself dying.”Jelly Roll explained that he started considering the weight-loss journey around his 39th birthday.“It was right around my 39th birthday that I started really considering taking the step to try to make a major change in my life. I thought about it around my birthday ‘cause I knew my next one was 40, and I was like, ‘I don't think I've ever met a 500-lb 40-year-old.”He added:“It felt like I'd already cheated the game. I'd had multiple heart issues, and I was like, ‘Man, I should really start trying to figure this out.”The American rapper and singer was also candid about how his weight affected his sex life.“I married the kind of woman that makes you smile when you're crying, Joe. And I couldn't even get aroused, I was so big. I was having to play Twister to have sex—left foot here, right foot in the X. ‘Are we in there yet? Tell me if you feel something.’ It was bad.”Now, Jelly Roll is feeling great. He told Joe he didn't believe he could lose that much weight.More details on Jelly Roll’s recent appearance on The Joe Rogan ExperienceIn addition to discussing his weight loss journey on the podcast, Jelly Roll also received an invitation to become a member of the Grand Ole Opry.
