In a twist that seems plucked straight from the pages of a gritty crime drama, Big U, a prominent figure in the music industry, finds himself tangled in a RICO indictment that could rival any plotline we’ve seen on screen. Accused of leading a gang linked to a shocking roster of serious crimes—including murder and extortion—the case has ignited a whirlwind of speculation online, particularly as eager fans sift through court documents looking for connections. But hold on a second—there’s a name keeping popping up that’s causing quite the stir: No Jumper, the podcast turned cultural phenomenon, helmed by the outspoken Adam22. Amid the chaos, Adam22 felt the need to clear the air on social media, insisting that his brand is not implicated in the shenanigans surrounding Big U and his alleged crew. I mean, when a podcast host has to step up and declare, “No, my show didn’t cause the crime wave,” you know things have taken a weird turn! So, what exactly is going on, and how does this scandal intertwine with the colorful web of hip-hop culture? Buckle up, because this rollercoaster is just getting started!
Big U is currently at the center of a RICO indictment. The music executive is accused of being the ringleader of a gang responsible for murder, kidnapping, fraud, extortion and theft. The internet is currently pouring over the court documents to break down the charges, and one brand name that repeatedly turns up is No Jumper. The podcast’s creator and host, Adam22, did not want the fans running with the connection, however. He hopped on Instagram to set the record straight.
Adam22 acknowledged that he’s worked with Bricc Baby and Luce Cannon, men named in the RICO charges, over the last two years. He was adamant that No Jumper has nothing to do with their actions alongside Big U, though. “People saying that 22 was the reason Bricc got caught up,” Adam22 stated. “F*ck outta here. You know what I do.” The podcast host went on to note that the allegations leveled against Bricc Baby have not taken place during the time in which he’s been involved with No Jumper.
“I’m not seeing anything that says anything about stuff he’s done in the last two years,” Adam22 said. “Since he’s been f*cking with us.” He did not deny that Bricc Baby could be involved in something very serious, but doubles down on the notion that he has nothing to do with it. “I do employ people from the streets,” Adam conceded. “People from the streets sometimes get caught up in federal RICO indictments [or] whatever the f*ck this sh*t is.” Adam22 asserted that he will stand by Bricc regardless of what is said about him. He also shouted out Luce Cannon, who has appeared on the podcast before.
“I got love for Luce,” Adam explained. “We gonna be documenting this whole thing, helping them along the way.” The podcast host circled back around on his main point, however. He reminded fans that he’s not involved, nor is the No Jumper brand. “Anybody acting like this is because of No Jumper, no,” Adam concluded. “No Jumper was the antidote!.” Bricc Baby and Luce Cannon are currently in federal custody.
