Jelly Roll lost 400 pounds, so he joked about the Olympics, "I've lost weight with cocaine".

Jelly Roll, a country music star, joked about losing 125 kilograms by using Ozempic during his appearance on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!', where he replaced Jimmy Kimmel. He responded to comments made by Fox News host Jesse Watters, who humorously warned about potential side effects of Ozempic, including increased risk of 'Trump-induced syndrome.' Jelly Roll clarified that he lost weight through diet and exercise rather than medication, joking that he had done it the old-fashioned way with cocaine. The musician, whose real name is Jason DeFord, has openly discussed his struggles with weight for years. He revealed that at his heaviest, he weighed 245 kilograms, which significantly impacted his daily life and self-confidence. After several failed attempts at weight loss, Jelly Roll decided to make serious changes to his lifestyle, hiring a chef and nutritionist, changing his diet, and starting to exercise regularly. He described how exercising changed his perspective on life and his body, saying he now loves himself and sees the world differently.
