Jelly Roll stole the show at the Invictus Games 2025, not only with his powerful voice but also with his incredible 140-pound weight loss transformation.
The country music star, who has been open about his struggle with food addiction and obesity, left fans aghast as he glided through the crowd with ease before delivering an emotional and uplifting performance.
At the Invictus Games, the Grammy-nominated artist performed two songs for the audience, including his emotional and powerful song on mental health, ‘I’m Not Okay.’ Going through the crowd as he performed, connecting with fans on a very personal level, he made a point to recognize the true heroes of the event.
“I’d like to make it unequivocally known what’s transpiring at present whilst I am up here upon this stage. I am a chubby guy wielding a microphone, and the genuine heroes are these athletes and those families who reside in this arena currently,” he addressed the masses.
“And I want you to know, when you go home after these 11 days of adrenaline and you finally sit down, and a few months from now when the world comes back around, I want you to know this: If you ever hear that voice in your head telling you, you can be anything but great, it’s a liar.”
Jelly is definitely healthier than ever before. Recently the singer recently revealed to E! News that he climbed a mountain.
“There is no way that would have been possible before,” he stated, going on to say that it’s “great to see that progress and we still are going.”

For the past several years, Jelly Roll has been candid about his weight issues, writing in an Instagram post in 2018, “I’ve been obese since I was a little kid. All I’ve ever known was being fat, and I’m f–king miserable. I wanna skydive, bungee jump, ride a bull, parasail, and ride roller coasters, I want to LIVE a normal life and have a normal relationship with food. I fight addictions and alcoholism every day.”
“The fight was with food addiction,” Jelly Roll explained in an interview with People. “I’ve never had a good relationship with food, so that was the difficult part.really battling that demon initially and getting into that discipline and commitment. But once you’re in that discipline and commitment, it’s like an avalanche.”

Even though Jelly Roll’s made huge strides in the past year, he’s claimed ad nauseum that this is just the tip of the iceberg. According to a recent episode of wife Bunnie XO’s podcast “Dumb Blonde,” he’s also claimed that his ambition is being featured on the cover of magazines in March of 2026 and flaunting his weight loss drama.
“What I’d like the world to understand and see is that I didn’t achieve success because of my weight,” he explained. “I achieved success in spite of it. I managed to be this successful weighing 550 pounds somehow. That’s crazy.”
