Jelly Roll is still dropping pounds and making sure everyone notices ... hitting a pre-Grammy party looking noticeably slimmer and more confident than ever.

He looked relaxed, happy, and proud ... the kind of confidence that only comes from putting in real work.

As we've reported, Jelly Roll revealed back in October 2025 he had dropped a jaw dropping 200 pounds, going from 540 lbs. to 357, and by the looks of it, he's still slimming down as he sticks with his healthier lifestyle.
