Why does Jelly Roll always wear that black hat? Most people think it is just part of his style, but the truth is tied to love, struggle and change. It began when he met the woman who would change his life, Bunnie Xo. From the first day in 2015, she saw past his size, tattoos and rugged look. She believed in him even when he did not believe in himself.
When they met, Jelly Roll weighed over 450 pounds and wore only big black shirts. Life was hard. Money problems, family stress and a slowing career made his weight climb even higher. People compared them to Beauty and the Beast, which made him wonder if he was even good enough for her. But Bunnie never left his side. She worked hard every day and gave him the strength to try to change.

Fans loved how his story was all full of heart. One fan wrote that “Bunnie is the real queen”. Another said, “This is the kind of loyalty you do not see often. “Many believed his honesty about weight, love and self-worth made them feel less alone. He used the black hat as a sign of strength.
That same loyalty could also be seen in another moment during Jelly Roll’s talk on Bussin’ With The Boys. He remembered the early days with Bunnie when he was broke, homeless and trying to get custody of his daughter. He even told her about another child on the way, but Bunnie’ loyalty didn’t budge. She decided to help him, found them a home, paid the lawyer and promised that no matter what happened between them, she would help him get his little girl.
