Jelly Roll Vows to ‘Keep Speaking My Truth’ After Backlash Over Trump Jokes

Jelly Roll heard from some unhappy fans after taking repeated shots at Donald Trump on Jimmy Kimmel Live! Monday night. His response? He’s hosting a late-night show—what did they expect?

Returning for his second night as Jimmy Kimmel’s guest host Tuesday, the country music star wasted little time acknowledging the reaction to his Trump-heavy first monologue.

“I did a couple jokes like that last night, because I’m hosting a damn late-night show,” he explained after opening with another joke at Trump’s expense. “That’s where you talk about the news and you make jokes.”

Jelly Roll then flashed a headline from TheWrap that read, “Jelly Roll Stuns ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’ Audience With Multiple Jabs at Trump: ‘Didn’t See This Coming.’”

“As a former felon and drug dealer, who has lost 300 pounds, has tattoos all over his face—and won three Grammys—this is the weirdest thing I’ve ever done to ‘stun’ people,” he joked.

“What a turn of events,” he added. “Who would have guessed I’d get in more trouble with the president than Rosie O’Donnell?”

Jelly Roll said some viewers were upset that he hadn’t treated Trump “with reverence and dignity,” but noted that might be asking a lot from a man who calls himself Jelly Roll.

“I don’t even treat myself with reverence and dignity,” he said. “One day I looked in the mirror and said, ‘You, my friend, are a pastry.’”

As for those upset that Trump was the one taking the hits, Jelly Roll had a simple response.

“Any U.S. president should be able to handle a few jokes, right?” he said. “He should also be able to handle gas prices, health care, and the occasional international conflict. But beggars can’t be choosers.”

And to fans who have threatened to stop listening to his music over Monday night’s monologue, Jelly Roll was equally unmoved.

“Go right ahead,” he said. “‘Cause I’m gonna keep speaking my truth… or my name isn’t Post Malone.”

  3. Hey Diane and A.J. says:

    Both of you are going to eat shit and fuck off, understand? Jelly Roll doesn’t give a fuck what you think! What he said about Drumpf was the truth! Don’t like it? Don’t watch! And shut your fucking faces up, mKay?

      The truth is, nobody gives an “f” about you. But enough about your mother. Oh, can you define a woman is? Nevermind, I am not interested in reading ANYTHING coming from foul “brain.”

      1. But they give a fuck about you, bitch? says:

        A Drumpf licking loser that thinks it’s ignorant posts are worth reading? Bitch, you need to take a shit in order to get your thought process going, because you don’t process a brain! Otherwise, you wouldn’t be asking about what a woman is (of course no woman would want you, because you are said Drumpf licking loser)!

        Now shut your mouth up before the grown ups whip your bare ass! Understand, bitch?

    2. Tony says:

      What an unhinged, sexist loser! Even using pet names like the President, you appear to hate so much. I love how everyone says he is a Fascist, but if he was you would have been given a free helicopter ride a while ago! Thandfully we have 2+ more years of his his brand of fun, imagine what cherished things of yours he will trample next!

      1. Well that's rich! says:

        A dumbfuck Drumpf licker calling anyone who doesn’t like that remorseless sex offender and misogynist ‘sexist!’ No wonder he fucking won twice! Mouth breathing, small bus riding, tiny penis losers, like you, that want him to stick it to ‘THOSE PEOPLE!!!’ you grew up despising just for existing, voted him in! That is the textbook example of enabling fascism, right there!

        Boy, go back to school, and, this time, try to put in the effort to learn, mKay?

      Belly Roll will ALWAYS be nothing but a RICH ex-con. He never changed.

      1. And you're a fucking asswipe! says:

        Nothing changes as well there!

  5. Christy L Compton says:

    He was great

  6. Suzi Waters says:

    Johnny Carson was the smartest late night comedian! Everyone loved him because he stayed out of politics. He said something like, “Why would I want to insult half of my audience”? And that’s why I never watch Kimmel or Fallon. Their humor is not funny at all and disrespectful at best. We have the best country in the world. If you don’t like it, leave!

  7. Lynn Hollingsworth says:

    not stunned. I saw you on the view and you were actually speaking with a level head. when you made those comments on thd Jimmy Kimmel show(who hates Trump) you stooped way down. i had some respect for you. but after what you did to Bunnie after she took care of you and supported you and now this well its gone. fame has changed you and not for the good. Just know, what God had allowed you to achieve He can take away. God don’t like ugly Jason

  8. jon says:

    Once an ex-con, always an ex-con.

    1. Once a crybaby loser, always a crybaby loser! says:
