Jan. 11, 2024 – Jelly Roll is not shy about his past as a drug dealer. However, just as he transitioned from a life of crime to being a family man, he is transitioning from being part of the problem to advocating for solutions. Today (January 11), he attended a Senate hearing on strategies to stop the spread of fentanyl into the United States.
His history of selling and abusing substances gives him a unique perspective on the current opioid epidemic. As a result, he was able to deliver a passionate and emotional speech to the congressional committee.
“I’ve attended more funerals than I care to share with y’all,” he began. “I could sit here and cry for days about the caskets I’ve carried of people I love dearly, deeply in my soul. Good people. Not just drug addicts. Uncles, friends, cousins, normal people. Some people who just got in a car wreck and started taking a pain pill to manage and one thing led to the other. How fast is spirals out of control, I don’t think people truly, truly understand.”
