Jelly Roll Says He’s Quitting X: But Is He Really?
Jelly Roll, also known as Jason Bradley DeFord, is raising eyebrows after announcing that he’s officially done with the social media platform X. He vented his frustrations on October 20, calling it “the most toxic negative app to exist ever”
This is for sure the most toxic negative app to exist ever — PERIOD. lol. 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 shit to each other with no consequences. I’m out lol

This decision comes hot on the heels of Jelly Roll’s wife, Bunnie Xo, highlighting the cyberbullying her husband has faced on the platform—especially regarding his weight. She expressed how hurtful the comments can be, and let’s face it, nobody signed up to be a punching bag just because they have a public persona.
The question people want to know now, is he really quitting X? Less than 24 hours of claiming he was going to leave, he tweeted again promoting his show in Nashville.
I’m so excited to finally bring The Beautifully Broken Tour to Nashville on 11/26! It’s my first time back at Bridgestone since 2022 so we’re gonna do it big y’all!!

Despite his decision or the lack to follow through with it, Jelly Roll’s music career is flourishing. He won a CMA award for New Artist of the Year and has dedicated songs like “I Am Not Okay” to his journey through addiction and recovery. This guy is no stranger to hard realities, yet he continues to show strength in his craft. So here’s to hoping he finds his peace while crafting more tunes that resonate with real life—because let’s be honest, a little less drama and a lot more music sounds like a win-win!
As Jelly Roll’s vibrant journey continues, many are left to wonder just how far the toxic nature of social media will push other artists to make similar moves. It’s a thought-provoking situation, reminding us that even the stars need a break from the nonsense! So, whether he’s riding the waves of fame or just taking a needed step back, one thing’s for sure—his story isn’t over yet.
