Rapper and country star Jelly Roll, while guest hosting "Jimmy Kimmel Live" on Monday night, made light of President Trump's recent weight gain, contrasting it with his own significant weight loss. Jelly Roll revealed that he has lost 300 pounds over the past few years.
"According to the Washington Post, a lot of doctors are worried about the President’s weight. After his last physical, we found out that Trump gained 14 pounds, which means he’s now tipping the scales at almost 240," Jelly Roll told the audience. He then put Trump's weight into perspective by stating, "In the last few years I’ve lost 300 pounds. That means I’ve lost an entire Donald Trump."
Jelly Roll, whose real name is Jason DeFord, also shared a personal and candid detail about his weight loss journey, noting that he can now "see [his] penis again." He offered advice to the former president, saying, "Mr. President from one fat pig to another, take it from me that physical fitness is very important. And trust me, you’ll be happy to see your penis again."
The musician, who once weighed 550 pounds, began his weight loss journey in 2022. He has previously spoken about the health challenges associated with his obesity. In December 2025, he shared on "The Joe Rogan Experience" that his weight had made it difficult to achieve arousal and that he had the testosterone level of a "preteen boy." His now-estranged wife, Bunnie Xo, has also spoken about the difficulties their sex life faced during that period, noting that his weight loss has brought him a "new sense of happiness."
