2 January 2026<\/time>\n <\/p>\nJelly Roll has laughed off critics who think he has face tattoos as a call for attention.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Jelly Roll has a few face tattoos<\/p>\n
\nThe 41-year-old rapper insists the inkings – including a cross under his right eye, a teardrop under his left eye, as well as “music man” across his hairline – do not define him as a person.<\/p>\n
\nIn his cover story for Men’s Health magazine – published on Friday (02.01.26) – Jelly said: “It\u2019s the polar opposite. <\/p>\n
\n“The way shame sometimes shows itself is not always the way we expect it to be. We think shame is somebody in the streets on their knees, with their head down. But shame sometimes is pride. Sometimes shame is just bravado. <\/p>\n
\n“Behind real bravado, I can normally find shame. I can normally find guilt. I can normally find insecurity. <\/p>\n
\n“I was the biggest, the loudest, the toughest, the meanest, the growliest, the fattest. There\u2019s normally deep inside of that a really, really small, insecure human. I was that, for sure. Then a by-product of that was I got fat as f***.”<\/p>\n
\nThe publication pointed out that the Need a Favor singer – whose real name is Jason DeFord – “may remove the face tattoos” as part of his “journey”, which includes a 200lb weight loss.<\/p>\n
\nAs well as face inkings, the star – who also told Men’s Health that he has consistently shed between nine and 15lbs each month – also has tattoos on his body.<\/p>\n
\nAnd Jelly regrets “98 per cent” of his body art, which he decided to get done in his youth.<\/p>\n
\nIn March 2024, the Grammy nominee told GQ: “I regret 98 per cent of these tattoos, 97 per cent, almost all of them.<\/p>\n
\nJelly – who is married to 45-year-old media personality Alisa DeFord, known professionally as Bunnie XO – admitted the \u201ccore philosophies\u201d he used to hold dear when he got most of his tattoos had now changed.<\/p>\n
\nThe Son of a Sinner performer added: “And now I\u2019m 40, I\u2019m like, what was I thinking?”<\/p>\n
\nJelly also said when it came to taking people on a \u2018tour\u2019 of his tattoos, he wouldn\u2019t know \u201cwhere to start\u201d.<\/p>\n
\nThe Heart of Stone hitmaker added: \u201cI don\u2019t know, I hate \u2019em all.\u201d<\/p>\n
