The star’s departure from X comes after he opened up about his on the podcast in an episode released on Oct. 14.
“It’s deep-rooted insecurities early. I was always a bigger kid. So I had a little chip on my shoulder naturally as a young kid,” he recalled of his childhood.
Jelly explained of how he ended up going to jail, “I’d gotten a fight with a kid and back then they had the chain wallets … I grabbed a chain wallet to try to hit him with it, and that was a strong-arm robbery case. So I ended up in the system for like 20-something months when I was 13 for that strong-arm robbery.”
“I look back at those years, Jay, and I’m so embarrassed to talk about them,” he admitted. “I was still a bad person in my early 30s, but I mean, I was a really horrible kid all the way into my mid-20s. People are always like, ‘You’re the nicest dude I’ve ever met.’ I’m like, ‘I’m so glad y’all haven’t met nobody that knew me 20 years ago.’ “
Jelly wraps up his on Oct. 27 in Charlotte, N.C.
