Brecka said that he first heard from Jelly Roll when the singer sent him a direct message and asked him, \u201cDo you work with fat people?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"CHWT5UD5MVEOHGUNGNVLOUTZSI\">\u201cWe flew out and met him one day in LA,\u201d Brecka said. \u201cAnd we flew on his jet to Vegas. So I had do some blood work. Had him do routine testing. I did the whole lab review for him on the plane.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"2LZSGAGDINA3NPX377KFM53XQ4\">\u201cI\u2019ll never forget that flight,\u201d Brecka added. \u201cIt was actually very sad because I could see this guy\u2019s heart. He\u2019s a good human, but he could barely fit in this private airplane seat. And he started talking to us describing what it was like to go through a day in the life of just being him at his weight.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"VEUAJM4KEBDLPED2A2SV6TZPZE\">Brecka then got into a more graphic description.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"XI3TXIXG6ZHSLP6AOFX4LWVGAM\">\u201cLike, he would say, \u2018I have to sleep on my wide and wedge myself in with pillows and wedge myself in because if I roll on my side at night, I\u2019ll suffocate. I\u2019ll vomit. And, he was like, you know I never turn the radio down in the car because when I pull up to a stoplight, I can hear myself wheezing so I\u2019ll just turn the radio on just to bury the sound of myself wheezing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"4TCQ7WC3ABHY5OGIQHKZA5DZ7Q\">Brecka said Jelly Roll told him that every morning he woke up, he thanked God \u201cthat he didn\u2019t die that night.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"GHVCJZBX5RGNLO3MQN5Y5WXUGM\">\u201cBecause he felt like he was going to die every night,\u201d Brecka said. \u201cHe was in a place where he was like, \u2018I\u2019m ready to commit to changing this because God has given me this opportunity to have my music serve the world, and I feel like I\u2019m going to die. <\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"U52L6LVU25G5LHQSENKKGWXU7M\">\u201cHe is one of the most genuine human beings, and to see that transition right there, is just amazing, man.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"Y2TYNLKBEJGLRLA4JACTYW2UYY\">At his last update this summer, Jelly Roll, who once weighed more than 500 pounds, said he lost more than 180 pounds. <\/p>\n<section class=\"Stories-By-Section-Tag-module_wrapper__69Ed7 Stories-By-Section-Tag-module_pennlive__kbzmP\" data-gaid=\":Rdraq6:\"\/><\/div>\n<p>If you purchase a product or register for an account through a link on our site, we may receive compensation.<span> By using this site, you consent to our <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.advancelocal.com\/advancelocalUserAgreement\/user-agreement.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">User Agreement<\/a> and agree that your clicks, interactions, and personal information may be collected, recorded, and\/or stored by us and social media and other third-party partners in accordance with our <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.advancelocal.com\/advancelocalUserAgreement\/privacy-policy.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Privacy Policy.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.pennlive.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is no secret that Jelly Roll has lost a lot of weight, and the guy is looking good these days, but what hasn\u2019t been so clear is just how unhealthy he was before cutting those pounds.
