Jelly Roll quits X, calling it the ‘most toxic negative app ever’

Jelly Roll leaves X (formerly Twitter), labeling it “toxic” and expressing frustration with the platform’s negativity.

Country star Jelly Roll has officially quit X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, citing its toxic environment. On October 20, 2024, the 39-year-old musician posted his final message, declaring, “This is for sure the most toxic negative app to exist ever — PERIOD.”

Jelly Roll expressed frustration over the platform's culture, noting that it has become a "safe place for everyone to say mean s--- to each other with no consequences," before signing off with, “I’m out lol.”

Jelly Roll's decision to leave X came shortly after he posted a photo of himself with Jack Black and Chad Smith of the Red Hot Chili Peppers backstage at the 2024 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ceremony. The country singer performed a tribute to Ozzy Osbourne, singing "Mama, I'm Coming Home," while Jack Black delivered the rocker’s induction speech.

The departure from X follows Jelly Roll’s candid revelations about his troubled past, including a stint in jail at 13, which he recently discussed on the On Purpose podcast with Jay Shetty. The star is currently wrapping up his Beautifully Broken tour, set to conclude on October 27 in Charlotte, N.C.
