Adam22 has defended No Jumper after two of the show’s frequent guests were caught up in a sweeping RICO indictment that mentioned the podcast.
In a post shared on his Instagram Stories, per TMZ, Adam22 addressed the 107-page complaint, which accuses Eugene “Big U” Henley of operating a “mafia-like organization.” Among the alleged members of the organization are frequent No Jumper guests and rappers Bricc Baby, real name Zihirr Mitchell, and Luce Cannon, real name Tremaine Ashley Williams. In one of his posts, Adam22 defended his podcast and said he was trying to help Bricc Baby and Luce Cannon, not implicate them.
“See a lot of people saying that 22 is the reason Bricc got caught up,” he said in the video, which can be seen below. “Fuck outta here. 22, you know what I do. I put people in position, put them on the podcast, give them jobs, help them make legal money. A lot of the shit that people are getting caught up for—especially with Bricc—I’m not seeing anything that says anything about stuff that he’s done in the last two years since he’s been fucking with us, right.”
He conceded that he does employ people with criminal pasts, but he’s going to support Bricc and Luce regardless of what happens. “We’re gonna be documenting this whole thing,” he said. “So anybody acting like this is because of No Jumper? No, No Jumper was the antidote to this bullshit.”
In the indictment, Henley and Luce Cannon are accused of directing and participating in a robbery of an unlicensed marijuana dispensary in Los Angeles.
“On the day of the robbery, approximately 11 of the Big U Enterprise’s members and associates… rushed into the dispensary armed with firearms and without masks,” reads the indictment. “They demanded belongings of anyone inside and stole cash and marijuana from the store before fleeing.” On the 51st page of the indictment, Luce Cannon is quoted as describing himself as Henley’s “righthand man” on an episode of the No Jumper podcast.
“So basically… He’ll manipulate things,” he said of Henley after allegedly admitting to the robbery of the dispensary. “We’ll go and ‘do something,’ and then, the same n***as we do it to show up to the house like 10 minutes later as we trying to count everything. And we be like, ‘how the fuck?'” The indictment alleges that Henley served a cease-and-desist letter against No Jumper after the episode was released, and it was later removed as a result.
Henley and several others involved in his alleged “mafia-like organization” are facing charges of murder, kidnapping, extortion, fraud, and robbery. Bricc Baby and Luce Cannon have been arrested, while Henley turned himself in on Wednesday, March 19. In a video released before he turned himself in, he accused Wack 100 of working with the FBI.
