Jelly Roll admits he broke the first rule of internet fame — not letting the trolls get to you — after rumors started circulating on social media accusing him of Satanism.
After stating he would be deleting all his social media accounts a month ago, the singer shared on the Pat McAfee Show podcast that he doesn’t actually plan to delete them. He also admitted that when he started seeing tweets accusing him of satanism, it took him by surprise. “I started getting drawn into weird stuff that made me feel weird, because I’m a man of faith. I’m like, ‘Man, y’all really don’t know me if you think I would even … Satan runs from the name I say. You know what I mean? That’s all I’m gonna say.”
“I say one name and Satan scatters,” the singer continued. “I don’t worry about nobody touching my butt or no Illuminati.”
“I doubled down like a real f–king dumbass. I go, ‘You know what, I’m getting off X, y’all are mean to me. That was so not the approach. I’m back on socials. Well, I’m getting back,” he added.
Last month, Jelly shared his frustration on X and called it “the most toxic negative app to exist ever — PERIOD.” He also announced that he was ‘out,’ hinting that he planned to completely leave social media.
During the recent interview, he also admitted that taking breaks from social media is something he regularly does. His decision to step back was about more than just the negativity on the platform. In fact, back in early October, he joked on Twitter that he planned to ‘throw my phone in the Cumberland River’ after completing his ‘Beautifully Broken Tour.’
Jelly Roll recently announced new Canadian dates for his ‘Beautifully Broken Tour.’ The tour will begin next March.
