"I can fit in Louis Vuitton now," he wrote in a recent social media post. "Pray for my bank account."
It's Been A Long Journey For Jelly Roll
When speaking with the Tennessee Titans during the preseason, the "Save Me" singer boasted he had lost over 200 pounds.
"Coach, I'm getting a contract if I lose 50 more," he joked.
As we reported back in August, Jelly Roll has been candid about his weight loss journey during interviews. He brings his own chef out on the road with him to prepare healthy meals. The singer also makes it a point to exercise, even while he is on tour. He also wants to motivate those fans who want to get healthy.
"I encourage all really obese people to be patient that first month," he said. "Your body is going through so many early changes that you're not gonna see the results that you think you're entitled to."
Despite the impressive weight loss, there have been some side effects: sagging skin.
"I'm gonna have to get my skin cut," said Jelly Roll. "I'm gonna have to because it's interfering with me and my daily functions. It's not even an aesthetic thing."
Fans Are Proud of Jelly Roll
Jelly Roll's post did not go unnoticed. After sharing his big news, fans were quick to congratulate him.
"Dude you good and damn well know they're all gonna give you free s*** now .. but f*** all that you look great bro .. insane transformation," wrote fellow artist Yelawolf.
"You look amazing," posted rapper Fat Joe.
The Grand Old Opry wrote, "Lookin good! See you next week!"
The rock band Shinedown used plenty of heart emojis when they commented, "SO PROUD OF YOU!!!!"
Bunnie XO Is Proud of Her Hubby
But perhaps the most important comment came from Bunnie XO, Jelly Roll's wife:
"The hunkiest hunk of them all"
Recently, Bunnie XO celebrated her husband's weight loss with a playful TikTok post.
The text in the video reads, "When you have to check and make sure he's still your squish after all the weight loss."
It begins with Jelly Roll leaning against a stone wall. DeFord bounces against him to see if she'll bounce back.
After the second attempt, the two go in for a hug. The clip ends when Jelly Roll gives DeFord's butt a squeeze.
