Adam22 Says He Wasn't Arrested, Feds Wanted Big U Letter Regarding Nipsey Hussle
Adam22 says he was NOT picked up by the feds, contrary to reports, but he tells us Uncle Sam paid him a visit regarding the Big U case and Nipsey Hussle's murder. We got the "No Jumper" podcast host at Bob Hope Airport in Burbank and we asked him about Wack 100 claiming he was arrested by federal agents. Adam22 says the feds talked to him about the Big U case and they wanted to get their hands on a cease-and-desist letter Big U sent Adam's podcast regarding an episode where Luce Cannon claimed Big U had prior knowledge of Nipsey's death before the fatal March 2019 shooting. Big U helped launch Nipsey's rap career and in his federal RICO case, the indictment claims Big U is heard on wiretapped calls saying he was "bigger" than Nipsey and disciplined Hussle before his murder. Adam22 says it's pretty interesting to find out the feds are interested in Big U's potential connections to Nipsey's death ... and, frankly, he's not wrong.

Wack 100 claims Adam22 arrested by feds after teasing RICO update on Instagram: "They came and got him"
Music executive Wack 100 claimed that Adam22, host of the No Jumper podcast, was arrested by federal authorities—just one day after teasing a 'crazy update' related to the ongoing RICO investigation involving rapper Bricc Baby and others. The claim came during a recent No Jumper podcast episode, where Wack 100 explained Adam's sudden absence. "He was supposed to go live today, right? They came and got him this morning. They doubled back. We tried to have him out," Wack told the No Jumper team over the phone. He added that he contacted his lawyer, saying, "Tryna get him down there so Adam don't be doing no telling, bro." The arrest has not been officially confirmed, but Wack's claim aligns with an Instagram post Adam22 shared earlier. In the post, the podcaster stated that federal officers had visited his home. 'I made it 41 years into this life before I had involvement, conversations with federal agents,' Adam22 wrote. He said the agents asked about individuals involved in the case, including Bricc Baby, and he jokingly added, 'When they showed up, I was wearing a red Nike tech.' Adam22 also hinted that he would provide details later on the podcast, saying he saved the story for content instead of discussing it live. However, his failure to appear on the latest episode fuelled fan speculation that something more serious had occurred. Wack 100 insisted Adam22 'ain't got no nothing' and was not a flight risk. He also denied involvement in the case himself, pushing back on allegations that he had helped law enforcement. Responding to Big U's accusation that Wack knew about the raid beforehand, he said, 'Oh, you a goofy. How the f*ck you didn't know?' As of now, neither Adam22 nor federal authorities have issued a public statement confirming any arrest.

Adam22 claims federal agents visited him after No Jumper linked to Big U RICO case
Hip-hop podcaster Adam22 has revealed that federal agents recently visited his home following the mention of his No Jumper podcast in the ongoing Big U RICO case. The indictment, which led to the arrests of figures like Big U, Luce Cannon, and Bricc Baby, references multiple appearances on No Jumper, raising questions about the podcaster's potential involvement.

He teased further details but withheld specifics, promising to address the situation in an upcoming episode of No Jumper. The comment section on his post quickly filled with speculation and jokes, with some suggesting that Adam22 has been cooperating with authorities.

'People saying I'm the reason Bricc got caught up—f*ck outta here,' he said. 'I know people from the streets, but what they do off-mic has nothing to do with me.' As the case unfolds, Adam22 remains under scrutiny, with fans and critics awaiting his next podcast episode for further clarification.

Adam22 Offers Bricc Baby Support Amid Arrest, Plans To Document Ordeal
Adam22 has spoken out after one of his No Jumper LA affiliates was arrested in a gang takedown. Speaking to his followers on Instagram Live, the podcaster offered support to Bricc Baby following his arrest Wednesday (March 20) for alleged involvement with the Rolling 60s Neighborhood Crips. The 41-year-old's response and promise to document the whole story was captured via Akademiks' POV and reshared across social media channels. 'People saying that 22 was the reason Bricc got caught up,' detailed Adam22. 'F**k outta here. 22 You know what I do.' He continued, 'I put people in position. I put them on the podcast. Get them jobs. I'm not seeing anything that says anything about stuff he's done in the last two years, since he's been f**king with us.' 'I do employ people from the streets… People from the streets sometimes get caught up in federal RICO indictments [or] whatever the f**k this sh*t is,' explained the podcast host. He also spoke about Luce Cannon, another No Jumper LA affiliate taken into custody by law enforcement in Wednesday's bust. 'I got love for Luce,' Adam22 detailed. 'We gonna be documenting this whole thing, helping them along the way.' Both men were arrested as part of what law enforcement called 'Operation Draw Down' where at least 10 alleged Rollin' 60s members and associates are charged with various federal crimes, including drug trafficking, racketeering conspiracy, and firearms offenses. 'Eliminating gangs and organized crime is the Department of Justice's top priority,' shared acting United States Attorney Joseph McNally in a statement. 'Today's charges and arrests target the leadership of this criminal outfit and will make the neighborhoods of Los Angeles safer. I am grateful for the work of our prosecutors and law enforcement partners.'
