During his first appearance, he made crude jokes about president Donald Trump\u2019s weight and approval ratings, implying that his own weight loss equated to losing Trump. This led to backlash from Trump supporters who called him a sellout and threatened to boycott his music. The next night, Jelly Roll defended his comments, stating that he was hosting a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/woke-comedy-manager-leaves-entertainment-industry-to-start-unsafe-space-podcast-after-seeing-the-light\/\" title=\"Woke Comedy Manager Leaves Entertainment Industry To Start \u2018Unsafe Space\u2019 Podcast After \u2018Seeing The Light\u2019\">late-night show<\/a> where such jokes are typical and dismissing the boycott threats. Critics argue that his defense highlights a bias in late-night comedy, which frequently enough targets republicans and Trump, while treating Democrats with more reverence. The article suggests his shift in tone may alienate his original fanbase that connects with messages of redemption, faith, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trump-and-vance-campaign-in-minnesota-in-bid-to-flip-the-state-for-the-first-time-in-five-decades-washington-examiner\/\" title=\"... and Vance campaign in Minnesota in bid to flip the state for the first time in five decades - Washington Examiner\">working-class struggles<\/a>.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_1)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Jelly Roll used his second night guest-hosting \u201cJimmy Kimmel Live!\u201d to tell angry fans they can quit his music.<\/p>\n<p>The country star, whose real name is Jason DeFord, was filling in for Jimmy Kimmel this week.<\/p>\n<p>On Monday he opened with crude jokes about President Donald Trump\u2019s weight and approval ratings.<\/p>\n<p>He said his own 300-pound weight loss meant he had \u201clost an entire Donald Trump,\u201d then added that \u201cmost of the country wants to do the same thing,\u201d according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/media\/jelly-roll-unleashes-crude-jokes-trump-weight-kimmel-fat-pig\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fox News<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>He also called himself and the president \u201cfat pig[s]\u201d and delivered a vulgar punchline about fitness.<\/p>\n<p>Trump-supporting fans noticed.
