Adam22, founder of the popular podcast No Jumper, has responded to claims from Wack 100 that he was recently arrested in connection with the federal racketeering case against alleged Rollin’ 60s Neighborhood Crips leader Big U. Speaking to TMZ at an airport in Burbank, California, Adam22 firmly denied the allegations, stating, “Wack’s got an overactive imagination, to say the least. I was not picked up by the feds.”
While he clarified that he was not arrested, Adam did confirm that federal agents visited his home, where his lawyer spoke with them. He revealed that they were interested in a specific document—a cease and desist received from Big U around a year ago—which requested the removal of a podcast episode featuring Luce Cannon discussing Big U’s alleged prior knowledge of Nipsey Hussle’s death. “The feds were interested in that, which is kinda crazy,” Adam noted, expressing curiosity about why authorities were focused on this aspect of the case.
Earlier this week, Wack 100, a frequent co-host on No Jumper, claimed during a phone call on the show that Adam22 had been arrested as part of the investigation into Big U’s alleged criminal enterprise. He mentioned concerns about Adam potentially “telling” during this supposed arrest, raising alarm bells about the situation.
The investigation into Big U is extensive, involving serious charges such as racketeering, extortion, human trafficking, fraud, and the 2021 murder of an aspiring rapper who had released a diss track targeting Big U. Adam22’s podcast was mentioned in the gang indictment, and he has defended No Jumper’s involvement with those arrested, asserting, “I put people in position, put them on the podcast, give them jobs, help them make legal money.”
Despite the ongoing turmoil surrounding the case, Adam22 maintains that he is not in trouble and continues to question the motivations behind the federal investigation. As he navigates this challenging situation, fans and followers will be watching closely for any new developments.
