Jelly Roll knows about his online trolls. The musician jokingly debuted an anthemic new song, recorded during his guest-hosting stint on Jimmy Kimmel Live last month, about all of the haters who are talking trash about him.
The clip sees Jelly Roll, who will tour Australia later this year, crooning a power ballad about “these hating ass bitches on the Internet.” He then puts a melody to a series of mean tweets, like “Being forced to listen to Jelly Roll and it sucks” and “Jelly Roll looks like a meth addict grabbed a microphone.” He gets the audience singing along as he repeats “Jelly Roll’s just Lizzo for white people.” In the end, he confirms, “I don’t give a fuck.”
Jelly Roll guest-hosted Jimmy Kimmel Live in July. He sang the tune as part of one of his monologues for the show, which has now released it as its own video.
Earlier this week, Jelly Roll fought Logan Paul as part of the WWE’s SummerSlam event. The fight, which was set up over a month ago on Smackdown and was heavily promoted since then, marked Jelly Roll’s first official match as a wrestler after making a handful of appearances at WWE events over the past year. The musician ultimately lost the fight after Paul dropped his signature move the “Paul from Grace.”
On Friday, Jelly Roll will share a new collaboration with Marshmello titled “Holy Water.” The pair have been teasing the song, which sounds like a mix of dance and country, on social media for the past week.
