00:00Jelly Roll is unrecognizable in video showing off his shaved face.

00:04I look like a ninja turtle.

00:06Jelly Roll is starting fresh.

00:09The singer, whose real name is Jason Bradley DeFord,

00:13showed off his clean-shaven face on Instagram on Thursday, November 20th.

00:18In a video debuting the new look, the 40-year-old told his 5.4 million followers,

00:23About now, you have probably figured out that I look like a ninja turtle.

00:27Yeah, this is crazy.

00:28One of the reasons I even started growing a beard was because I was so obese.

00:33It was just easier to cover up what was happening here, you know?

00:37Since beginning his fitness journey at 540 pounds in 2022,

00:41the singer has dropped around 200 pounds from his 6'1 frame.

00:45In his Instagram story, Jelly Roll shared a link to the full YouTube vlog

00:49in which he documented the big transformation.

00:52At this point, I'm sure some of y'all are exhausted about hearing about my weight loss,

00:56but a lot of things change when you start losing weight and you realize things, he told viewers.

01:02One of the things I realized is I don't know what I look like.

01:05I've had a beard to try to cover up my double chin,

01:08which I'm still clearly going to have a double chin.

01:11The last time my face was shaved, I was fresh out of jail, said Jelly Roll,

01:16who has been open about his history with the law and how he's changed since his younger years.

01:22I got a feeling I'm going to look like a ninja turtle,

01:25but I'm going to shave my expletive face and go surprise my family.

01:29Jelly Roll's wife, Bunny XO, watched as he got rid of his beard for the first time in at least a decade.

01:36My wife's the only person that knows I'm in the bathroom doing this right now,

01:40the wild one's singer told followers.

01:43So my daughter is going to see me without a beard for the first time ever.

01:48When Jelly Roll finally showed off the new look to his teenage daughter,

01:52she responded in shock.

01:53Oh my God, I'm going to cry.

01:56I don't like this, she said.

01:57You look like a turtle.

01:59Earlier this month, a source exclusively told Star that Jelly Roll is splurging on

02:05the finer things in life since slimming down.

02:09He's dropping cash on everything from video games to a personal chef

02:13who prepares him healthy meals, said the source.

02:16He's earned it, but people hope he learns to rein it in

02:19because some famous folks went bankrupt that way.
