Jelly Roll Responds to Speculation He Used Ozempic to Lose Weight - Watch Now! | Just Jared - Celebrity News and Gossip

Jelly Roll lost weight the old-fashioned way.

For the past few years, the 41-year-old “Wild Ones” singer, whose real name is Jason DeFord, has been focused on prioritizing his health and previously revealed that he’s lost nearly 300lbs.

In his opening monologue while serving as guest host of Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Wednesday (August 26), Jelly Roll reacted to Fox News host Jesse Watters speculating that the country music singer is using Ozempic to shed weight.

“It’s gotten a lot of reactions from a lot of people on both sides of the aisle. But today, I’m really starting to feel like my pal, Jimmy Kimmel, because my monologues caught the attention of the gang over at Fox News,” Jelly Roll began.

A clip from Jesse Watters Primetime was then played, where the ring-wing host delivered his “Trump Derangement Syndrome Tuesday” report.

“Next up to bat, Jelly Roll,” Jesse said in the clip. “They should put a warning label on Ozempic. Side effects can include increased risk of TDS. If you notice signs like irritability, depression, and trouble sleeping, please see a doctor.”

Jelly Roll then fired back at Jesse, saying, “First of all, Jesse, I’ll have you know, Ozempic is the only drug I haven’t tried.”

I know it sounds unbelievable, but I lost weight the old-fashioned way. Cocaine,” he jokingly added. “No, seriously. I got in shape before the GLP1 craze started. And I’m kind of proud of the fact that I did it through diet and exercise. But I also feel like a dude who bought the last horse and buggy a day before they started selling cars.”

During his first night as guest host of Kimmel earlier this week, Jelly Roll cracked a joke about Donald Trump‘s weight, which seemed to have really ticked off MAGA supporters.

In his Wednesday monologue, Jelly said that he “can’t believe” that of all the jokes he’s told, “the one that really seemed to make people mad… was when I said [Trump] was overweight.”

“I thought fat-on-fat crime was okay!” he joked.

“I mean, we can debate whether this president is mentally fit, but I think we can all agree he is certainly not physically fit,” the Grammy winner continued. “But I hope I can inspire the Donald, man. If I can lose all that weight, he can too, and, in fact, there is a new medication on the market designed specifically for him.”

Jelly Roll than played a spoof commercial for “Donjaro,” a fake weight loss drug made just for Trump. Side effects can include “meeting drowsiness,” “confusion,” “bruising of the hands,” and “massive cankles.”

If you didn’t see, Jelly Roll recently admitted he was struggling with overeating following his split from wife Bunnie Xo.
