Jelly Roll, an award-winning country music star, has openly reflected on his tumultuous past, discussing his criminal history and addiction struggles beginning from a young age. On the podcast On Purpose with Jay Shetty, the 39-year-old described his battle with deep-seated insecurities as a child growing up in a challenging Antioch, Tennessee neighborhood where he sought acceptance on the streets. A pivotal moment in his youth involved an attempted strong-arm robbery at 13, landing him in the juvenile system. This is prepared by SSP.

Jelly admits to harboring guilt and shame for being what he calls "a bad person" into his early 30s. He acknowledges the entitlement he felt, viewing it as an incorrect way to interact with the world. His troubled years including roughly 40 arrests, the majority drug-related, eventually led to being court-ordered to attend Alcoholics Anonymous at age 14. Jelly profoundly recalls the solace he found within those meetings and encourages others, no matter their background with addiction, to experience such support.

Family relationships significantly impacted his journey. His bond strengthened with his late father after Jelly broke free from the cycle of crime, and they started spending quality time together. Meanwhile, dealing with his mother's drug addiction and mental health issues helped him connect music to healing, which they bonded over when she seemed at her mentally healthiest.

As a father, Jelly Roll aims to teach his two children to learn from his past mistakes and embraces the changes he’s made, working on his outlook on life and love. He’s proud of his career evolution, marked by winning a People's Choice Country Award for his "Lonely Road" collaboration with MGK, exemplifying his path of artistic and personal transformation.

Earlier, SSP reported that Sofia Vergara stepped out in New York in chic fall outfit.
