The controversy erupted after John Foster, a former contestant on the same season, referred to Roberts as a “trash, f*cking black boy” during an off-camera outburst that was leaked online. The clip went viral within hours, drawing widespread condemnation from fans, artists, and activists.

But it was Jelly Roll — the genre-blending artist known for his raw honesty — who delivered perhaps the most powerful response. In a short but scathing five-word message posted to his Instagram stories, Jelly Roll wrote:

“John Foster, you’re becoming a racist.”

He didn’t stop there. In a follow-up post, Jelly Roll added:

“There’s no place for racism in American music. That’s why Jamal Roberts won American Idol — and not you.”

Fans quickly rallied behind Roberts, praising Jelly Roll for speaking out. The American Idol winner himself responded with humility and grace, saying:

“Hate won’t stop love. I’m here because of the people who believed in me — no matter the color of my skin.”

John Foster has yet to issue a formal apology, but the backlash has been swift. Several music producers and sponsors have already distanced themselves from him, and rumors suggest he may be banned from future Idol reunion events.

As Jelly Roll made clear, talent alone doesn’t make an artist great — character does too. And in 2025, America made a choice: it chose unity, not hate.
