AceShowbiz - Award-winning country music star Jelly Roll has candidly shared his criminal history that began in his teenage years. Growing up in a rough neighborhood, he sought acceptance and found it on the streets. A fight over a chain wallet led to a strong-arm robbery charge and 20 months in the juvenile detention system.

Jelly Roll deeply regrets his past actions, acknowledging the hurt he caused. He hopes to make amends with his robbery victim and has a list of people he intends to apologize to. Despite his past, he is determined to change and prove his transformation through his music.

Jelly Roll's late father became a close confidant after he escaped the "revolving cycle of the judicial system." The singer also credits his mother with instilling a love of music, which helped him navigate his childhood challenges.

As a father of two, Jelly Roll is eager to teach his children from his mistakes. He has worked on forgiving himself and apologizing for his past behavior. The singer said, "I didn't cry until I was 33. Now I can't quit. I mean, it's like, I thought I'd caught up by now, but I mean, I still just, just for no reason, I'll just sob, you know?"

Jelly Roll has received accolades for his music, including a PEOPLE's Choice Country Award for his collaboration with mgk. He recently opened up about the deep-rooted insecurities that contributed to his entitlement and criminal behavior. He hopes his story will resonate with others and inspire change.

Despite the challenges he has faced, Jelly Roll is grateful for the outpouring of support from his fans. He said, "I'm a family member, they relate, and I speak for an unspoken group of people, and I hope they would know that."
