Jelly Roll gets a kick out of fresh feet.
The country star might have had a “humble” upbringing, but he shocked fans by revealing a rather diva-like tendency when it comes to his wardrobe while chatting with Audacy’s Sabrina Sergio at the Academy of Country Music Awards 2024 last week.
The radio host asked Jelly Roll, 39, what he’d last purchased on Amazon; he replied that he bought socks, admitting, “I only wear socks once.”
The “Need a Favor” singer — who said he orders “socks in bulk” — called it a “frivolous habit,” adding, “Don’t judge me for this, y’all. I promise I grew up very humble.”
When Sergio reacted in shock, Jelly Roll exclaimed, “I know! It’s the most frivolous thing I’ve done with my success and I’m sorry and I hope I didn’t let nobody down with that.”
“When you’re fat, you can’t have stinky feet too, so you gotta have fresh socks,” the musician added with a laugh.
The “Son of a Sinner” musician’s behavior is reminiscent of Justin Bieber’s approach to boxers; the pop star once confessed he “definitely” doesn’t “wear them twice.”

“Most humble man in the world until it comes to his socks 😭” another fan added, while a third joked, “Bro is single handedly keeping the sock industry alive.”
Some Instagram users admitted they were “Jelly” of the move, like one who commented, “I would too. New socks hit different.”
“I won’t tell anyone I won the lottery but they’ll be signs 🧦” another fan added.

While he tosses his socks, it seems like the singer wishes he could do the same with his body art, revealing he “hates” “98% of these tattoos” in a video for GQ in March.
As for the ACM Awards, Jelly Roll took home music event of the year with Lainey Wilson for the duo’s song “Save Me.”
“This song saved me,” the performer told the audience in Frisco, Texas. “I was in a dark place. I thought I would die and go to jail, and I’m standing here today an ACM Awards winner.”
And in fresh socks, to boot.
