Country music star Jelly Roll has officially announced his departure from the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), citing its toxic and negative environment. The 39-year-old musician shared his decision in a post on October 20, expressing his frustration with the platform’s negativity.
“This is for sure the most toxic negative app to ever exist ever — PERIOD. lol. This place is different man, I always heard it was the Wild West on here but man it’s insane,” Jelly Roll wrote. “It’s a safe place for everyone to say mean s— to each other with no consequences. I’m out lol.”
The singer’s announcement comes just days after his appearance at the 2024 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ceremony, where he performed a tribute to Ozzy Osbourne. In a recent interview, Jelly Roll also opened up about his troubled past, including his time in jail as a teenager.
While his departure from X marks a significant change, Jelly Roll’s music career continues to flourish. His “Beautifully Broken” tour is set to conclude on October 27 in Charlotte, North Carolina. As he moves forward, it remains to be seen how his absence from social media will impact his interactions with fans and the broader music industry.
