Jelly Roll addressed his recent comments poking fun at Donald Trump while guest-hosting Jimmy Kimmel Live and the subsequent backlash:
"Who would have guessed I'd get in more trouble with the president than Rosie O'Donnell? ...
"Some folks online were upset that I didn't treat the president with reverence and dignity, but I want to remind y'all that I go by the name Jelly Roll. I don't even treat myself with reverence and dignity! One day I looked in the mirror and said, 'You, my friend, are a pastry.'
"Frankly, I think most people were just surprised that I had any opinions at all. They see a guy that looks like me and assume the only opinion I have is whether I prefer my meth crystal or classic.
"Now, let's be honest for a second: any U.S. president should be able to handle a few jokes, right? They should also be able to handle gas prices, healthcare, and the occasional international conflict...
"Look, y'all, I get it that some people are mad at me for goofing on Trump, but if you wanted me to make jokes about Kamala Harris, you should have voted for her!"
