Jelly stated, “I’d gotten a fight with a kid and back then they had the chain wallets.” He continued, “When we were wrestling, 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.”

Although Jelly Roll has turned his life around, he still gets stuck in the horrors of his past. The singer said, “I look back at those years, Jay, and I’m so embarrassed to talk about them. 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.”
He continued, “No matter how old I was, I had no business taking from anybody.” Therefore, the singer wants to make amends to all the people he feels he did wrong, including the man he robbed. However, he confessed, “I just haven’t made it that far down yet.”
