Podcaster Joe Rogan has escalated his criticism of a faction of Trump supporters, calling them “f***ing nuts” for boycotting country music star Jelly Roll. According to Breitbart, Rogan made the remarks during a recent episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, where he defended the singer against a backlash from some on the right.
The boycott appears to stem from Jelly Roll’s past comments or actions that some Trump supporters found objectionable, though the exact trigger remains disputed. Rogan, who has frequently hosted Trump on his show, did not hold back. “These people are f***ing nuts,” he said, according to Breitbart. “They’re boycotting Jelly Roll? Are you kidding me?”
Rogan’s comments mark a sharp turn from his usual alignment with anti-establishment figures. While he has been critical of both sides, his defense of Jelly Roll puts him at odds with a vocal segment of the MAGA base that has lately turned its fire on entertainers who don’t toe the line.
A Growing Rift on the Right
The spat is the latest in a series of cultural skirmishes within the conservative movement. Jelly Roll, a Grammy-nominated artist known for his blend of country and rap, has built a following that spans genres and political lines. But his refusal to endorse Trump—or his past criticisms of the former president—has made him a target for some Trump loyalists.
Rogan’s pushback drew immediate reaction online. Supporters of the boycott accused Rogan of going soft, while others praised him for calling out what they see as overreach. The episode quickly became a trending topic, with clips circulating on social media.
Breitbart reported that Rogan also questioned the logic of the boycott, pointing out that Jelly Roll’s music has brought people together. “He’s a good dude,” Rogan said. “He’s not hurting anybody.”
What’s Behind the Boycott?
The boycott movement against Jelly Roll gained traction after he made comments perceived as critical of Trump or his supporters. Details remain murky, but the backlash fits a pattern: Trump allies have increasingly called for boycotts of celebrities who speak out against the former president or his policies.
Rogan, whose podcast reaches millions, has become an influential voice in conservative and libertarian circles. His willingness to break with Trump supporters on this issue suggests that the entertainment industry’s political divide is not as clear-cut as it sometimes appears.
Neither Jelly Roll nor representatives for Rogan responded immediately to requests for comment. The boycott’s organizers have not publicly outlined specific demands or a timeline.
For now, the feud serves as a reminder that the MAGA coalition’s cultural battles are often fought on unexpected fronts—and that even figures like Rogan, who has hosted Trump and criticized Democrats, can find themselves at odds with the base.
