Jelly Roll recently took the stage to enthusiastic crowds during his October-November tour across Australia, but the rapper reached his limit while Down Under.

The Tennessee-based artist, aged 40, who shares his life with his wife Bunnie Xo, expressed earlier this month his eagerness to return home.

In an interview on the No Filter with Kate Langbroek podcast, he disclosed the toll the tour took on his physical and mental health during his six scheduled performances in Australia.

“I’m falling apart. It’s a horrible week. I’m doing the worst mentally I’ve done in a long time,” Jelly Roll, born Jason Bradley DeFord, candidly shared.

“I’m really far from home, and it’s really hitting me that I’m really far from home, like in an anxious way… I’m not having fun, and I want to go home,” he admitted.

Despite his struggles, the star, known for his hit “I Am Not Okay,” was slated to perform in Australia from October 25 to November 4, with a subsequent show planned for November 9 in Auckland, New Zealand.

However, he cancelled his final concert across the Tasman Sea due to illness, which he told Kate, 60, had a domino effect on his mental health. 

Jelly said his demanding travel schedule ‘f***ed my stomach up’, adding ‘when my stomach’s not right, nothing’s right’. 

He went on to say he also felt ‘super isolated’ as he spent much of his free time alone in hotel rooms between shows.  

I’m spending a lot of time in my hotel room by myself, just in my head. I don’t like it. I miss my family a ton,’ he admitted.

‘Everybody wants to go home when they’re sick. That’s just in us. I just don’t feel good, so I just want to go home.’

Earlier this month, Jelly made headlines when he claimed he was ‘treated like a criminal’ at Louis Vuitton in Sydney.

Many people reacted to the news en masse, claiming the US-born rapper only has himself to blame for the way he was allegedly treated at the upscale fashion house.

Wearing a baseball cap backwards and dressed in his trademark sweats, the musician was photographed outside the shop in the CBD.

Appearing angry after the experience, the heavily tattooed Tennessee-born artist began: ‘Hey man, the Louis Vuitton in Sydney, legitimately just treated us like we were finna [sic] come in and rob that place.

‘I have never been looked at more like a crim… Listen, the last time I was looked at like a criminal this bad… I was an actual criminal this bad.’

However, fans and critics alike quickly flocked to social media to slam Jelly for complaining about the treatment given his numerous facial tattoos.

‘Yeah face tatts imagine that. Meant to be intimidating and are. Not exactly rocket science,’ one person wrote. 

But despite many speaking out against Jelly Roll, other loyal fans came rushing to his defence, saying people shouldn’t judge him for his appearance. 

‘They’re judging him by his face tats! He’s a really good dude tho!’ someone commented.
