Internet Anarchist — The Deserved End of Adam22 | Internet Anarchist. Machine-transcribed; use the interactive transcript above to jump the player to any line.
No jumper is going broke, is the title of a video recently posted by Adam22 to his nearly 5 million subscriber YouTube channel No Jumper. With comments on the video such as, selling your wife and still going broke is crazy, it's nobody else's problem that you manage your business improperly, and don't forget you sold yourself for no reason, it's clear that no one has any sympathy left for Adam22, and it's for good reason. Adam22 can't help but make a fool out of himself for any amount of attention or views, from artificially manufacturing controversy to reclaiming his legendary cook status a second time. Adam is desperately trying to go viral by any means necessary. Unfortunately for Adam, it doesn't seem like any of those options went as well as
hit her. Hi, I'm the internet anarchist, I create weekly YouTube documentaries, and today we'll be diving into the degrading and degenerate developments in the life of Adam22, as well as examine how he sold what was left of his reputation and business for an extra 5 minutes of fame. For a super quick recap, Adam22 is best known to have found and hosting the hip-hop podcast No Jumper. The podcast rose to prominence in the late 2010s by interviewing upcoming artists and pop culture personalities in a very relatable fashion, from introspective conversations with legendary rappers like XXXT and Tassion to behind the scenes coverage of exclusive concerts. The No Jumper brand consistently gave fans a slice of the hip-hop experience, and they loved every second of it. Unfortunately, that success would only last for so long, as the you went by the focus
of the No Jumper brand shifted from creating worthwhile hip-hop content and more towards creating viral moments on the podcast. Loud outbursts, physical confrontations between hosts and guests, and the general inclination of the show. It didn't tell that Adam was actively destroying his own reputation with actions like firing hosts during live streams. It's going to take you providing the entire Discord chat and pointing out slime by line things that you didn't say that I'm being told by multiple people that you did said. I can show you the entire chat. I didn't say that shit. I honestly think at least for now, maybe we could come to the bottom of this at some
point, but it's probably better that you just leave. As well as going on a media tour to promote a con video of his wife with another man. I feel like it's kind of allowed me to even just embrace the fact that like, yeah, in prior situations, even with you, I've to girls with one of my friends, and that was okay, but because it's a girl who I don't have a real relationship with. But now I'm kind of like, well, why the f*** do I care? Especially as a f***ing person. You know, it's like, why would it be such a big deal? If I enjoy it with a girl that I don't give a f*** about, what is the point of me not doing that with the girl that I'm married to? It's not like an inherently degrading a distressed b***d thing, right? All of these events culminated in not just the decline of the No Jumper podcast, but Adam also getting labelled as the biggest cuck on the internet. However, despite his reputation and business being in the gutter, Adam is still doubling down on the degenerate behaviour that got him there in the first place. From 2023 to the start of 2024, Adam made several desperate attempts at re-igniting
interest in the No Jumper brand. The first and most disgusting was starting the game show for the love of Lena. The entire premise of the show was to find another adult film star who was going to sleep with his wife next. The only twist this time was that Adam would be there to watch. I'm one of the plug. I am an adult creator. My name is Adam 22 and I co-owned plug talk with my lovely wife. I interview a different girl every week. And then we f*** them at the end. But we've only ever done it with other women. So we've arranged this whole challenge to find the perfect guy to be our first ever boy, boy, girl, please. When that didn't bring in the notoriety he wanted, Adam moved to pretending that he was going to come out as gay. The primary way he was doing this was by dropping hints that he'd be filming a scene with
the adult actor Michael Doherty. Taking things a step further, Adam staged a suss phone call with Michael during the podcast episode. I'm getting a phone call from a number I don't have listed and I feel like it might be T-Roll. Let's see. Hey, babe, are we still doing dinner tonight? No. Oh, wait. Sound con. That's something that's tranny. Dead homies. How about that? How are you doing dinner tonight? I was thinking. Oh, Joey. I thought it was going to be something. One mic. One mic. For one mic. For you, weren't that way? You go that way? That was. Nah. Nah, nah. That was somebody else. Sorry. I got to meet some of you ladies. After, Adam appeared in the show wearing some questionable undergarments. That's what they're trying to say. You're Adam and me. What's up with my boy? What are you? So, y'all respect this man. You got the loser's shirt on? Well, hold on. What you just got done doing, bro? You're the loser's shirt, huh? You're a **** down.
Oh, hey, hey, hey. You said it's crack. What the ****? By the time Adam had fully gained everyone's attention, he made this announcement on Instagram. I'm proud to announce my first ever gay scene. For many years, I have dreamed of what it would be like to shoot with one of the bros. And I decided to stop holding back and live my truth. I know some of you weren't like this decision, but I hope you will choose to respect my choice. Big thanks to my scene partner at It's Michael Doherty for letting me tear that ass up. Can't wait for y'all to see this content. While Adam never went through with that announcement, he did upload a video titled, I convinced the world that I'm gay, in which he bragged about being able to manipulate everyone on the internet. Today, I'm embarking on something new and exciting. I am going to be attempting to troll the world into believing that I am a homo ****. Now the problem is, I am not a homo ****. In fact, I'm straight as an air out. But I'm going to fool the world and it's going to be hilarious. First step today, I'm taking a photo with a gay corn star.
That's right. I'm going to go down the street and take a photo of myself walking the dog with Jack Doherty's gay **** star brother. And I'm going to have somebody film it and we're going to leak the footage and try to get some kind of like news hype cycle going. Am I going to regret this? It's possible. Following this, Adam shed the behind the scenes of his sus phone call on stream. Okay, now it's Saturday, yesterday I was on live stream and I had the gay **** brother. I had him call in and I pretended it was going to be somebody else like it was a number I didn't have saved and he says engage. I see in a few people in the noji ever Reddit talking about this and stuff but it doesn't seem like people are really going for it. But the clip, the clip we filmed yesterday. I guess that my PR team was sending it to a couple of meme pages but they couldn't get it posted. Like nobody was really biting so I sent it to a dude that I know.
Get in on this, help me to make this a thing. So he posted it, wrote his own caption. You know, in a perfect world I'll probably get like three, four, five viral gay things going on as part of this. And I realized I'm a part of the hip hop community and a lot of people probably think it's like the craziest thing I've ever done because there's a lack of open mindedness in hip hop but we're going to change that by pretending to be gay. With his April Fools prank underway, Adam was striving for any form of virality or acknowledgement from viewers but unfortunately he wouldn't get the reaction that he was expecting. The major takeaway from this video wasn't that Adam was pretending all along but that he thought he could directly manipulate people into making him go viral. He has previous moments in the spotlight tricked Adam into thinking he could catch lightning in a bottle the second time. Sadly, Adam's master plan was nowhere near close to fooling anyone and viewers made sure he knew that. With comments that read, everyone knew this was a bad April Fools joke. Guide on sold his mind, his soul, his wife, his manhood, help this brother as well as
bro really did all of this for 50k views max. By the end of the year, none of Adam's attempts at manufacturing controversy or discourse translated into any significant viewership for the no jumper brand. However, going into 2025, Adam would make some real moves to turn everyone against him while simultaneously lining his pockets. On the 18th of February 2025, Adam announced on Twitter that he'd be entering the crypto space with a token later known as CuckooCoin and desperately tried to get fans to buy into it. Within hours of the coin going live, it's trading volume spiked and immediately crashed to almost nothing, as insiders dumped the token on fans moments later. Around this time, coffee's illimated tweet calling Adam out for his vile behaviour and released a few DMs that showed how literally cared about robbing his audience, reading,
real talk you shouldn't run a coin, it's lame and you're going to scam or get scammed to which Adam replied with, how else am I going to afford all this galaxy gas? When coffee's ill-appointed out the imminent danger of snipers taking advantage of the launch, Adam didn't seem all too bothered, as he'd already gotten paid to promote the coin. Reading, I don't care, I just got paid to do the tweet, I got nothing to do with it. Adam would even go as far as justifying his actions with the excuse that other celebrities were doing it. Reading, no idea, I just did it because moneybag, yo, da baby and codec are doing it. What made the entire situation even more disgusting was how Adam pretended to care about scamming his audience afterwards. Reading, I'm not happy with how my last meme coin drop went, what should I do differently next time, who should I partner with to make sure I do it right this time? The very same day, Adam discussed the Cuck coin fiasco on his podcast and tried to empathise with fans. Although he made sure to deflect any responsibility for the money they lost. I was scammed. You were scammed?
Listen, someone told me that they had a bag for me to promote a crypto token. I guess I didn't process initially that it was going to be perceived as like me starting a crypto token. When it was proposed to me, they told me moneybag, yo, just did this. He didn't have any significant amount of backlash. The baby just did this. He didn't have any significant amount of backlash. Here's a couple other rappers that are set to do this in the next couple days. I take the payment. Then I look at the text that they want me to post. And I think that it was a little bit outside of the realm of what I should have posted. I think I should have made it more clear that this was merely a project that in my heart of hearts as a non crypto guy. I was excited about it. I think I should have made it more clear that this was not something that I had resonated. I had created a thing now.
I didn't realize I guess in so many words what I'm saying. I didn't realize it was going to be labeled the cuck token. How dumb did Adam think his fans were? He took money to promote a token he didn't fully understand and it ended up costing his viewers hundreds of thousands of dollars. But part of that isn't his fault. Did he genuinely expect people to lit him off the hook because he didn't know what the developer planned to do with the coin? Well Adam did expect them to overlook it and to forgive him when he launches another token. Copy's all it helped me to understand where I may have gone wrong with this whole thing. Now that being said, dropping in the very near future there will be a newly revamped 22 token that will write the wrongs of everything that has happened in regards to my other token. So I do feel like as much as this may have been a bad experience for some people that I will certainly write that wrong with my next meme token.
And also this is part of it too. You really like you get the feeling that somebody like me that this if people lost money on it, that it was solely speculators, people who were speculating speculators. It doesn't feel like something like I'm going to be honest. I feel like anybody who's in the no jumper fan base who knows me, who knows what I'm doing with my life knows not terribly interested in crypto. And as a result, I do feel like this is something that probably primarily impacted people who are outside of my fan base who are just looking to get a quick payday. I feel like the no jumper fan base is 99% crypto illiterate. They're not going to Adam 22 for their financial advice. They know about lean. They know about your keys.
They know about probably goon and out, beating their meat for hours at a time. I don't think that they are crypto specters. Now I did learn in the process of doing this that there are a fair number of people that I know who are involved in this sort of thing. I had porn stars I haven't talked to in years, BMX home, he's et cetera, hitting me up, saying, hey, let me get that CA in advance. I think that's probably crypto address. I don't really even know. But I was a little bit surprised by that. And that's why the next Adam 22 token will be such a work of art and built on such incredible fundamentals. I plan to put something into the into the market that even copies of himself will almost certainly want to invest in it. It was clear that Adam thought his audience was stupid enough to believe that Bord faced like. And in turn, they thought of him as a scumbag scammer with zero accountability. With a comment reading, Adam thought nobody's gonna care, meaning he partially knew there
was some controversy to this. He knew what he was doing and hoped it wouldn't go bad. Now he's trying to weather the storm. It's insane to be a millionaire, a dad, a full grown adult and lie this childishly. Adam has no issue causing his audience financial pain. But ironically, when he's in the same position, he expects them to help. By the 2nd of April 2025, Adam uploaded a video titled, No Jumper is Going Broke, in which he shares some troubling aspects of the brand's finances and operating difficulties. So there's something that I've been hiding from you guys. No jumper is going broke. I know that might sound crazy. Between both of our YouTube channels last month, we got over 25 million views. We're doing well on Facebook and Snapchat. We employ quite a few of the hottest content creators on the West Coast and we pump out an insane amount of content on a weekly basis. How could we be going broke? Well, let's start here. We expanded too much during COVID at just about the exact moment that our revenue streams all took a hit.
We hired a whole bunch of editors and other employees and we bought a huge office building that cost us almost $4 million, thinking that the growth that we were experiencing during the pandemic was going to continue. And unfortunately that did not happen. Our YouTube numbers, which had doubled or even tripled, gradually returned to normal. Our Snapchat and Facebook numbers, which had exploded during COVID, sometimes even hitting six figures a month, shrank by about 80 percent or more. In addition to no jump as revenue declining, Adam explained that no jump as Instagram account was mysteriously taken down. All that stuff hurt the business, but we were still solidly profitable. That is, until the last few months, where we experienced two major Ls that we never could have seen coming. First, we lost the no jumper Instagram. We're almost 10 years of building it up and essentially no strikes on our account. We got taken down one day and we still have absolutely no idea why. We've had no luck getting it back despite being in contact with what seems like every Instagram recovery guy on the face of the planet.
We were bringing in a very solid amount of cash monthly that was keeping us afloat via selling sponsored posts on the account and that mostly vanished overnight. While simultaneously facing an expensive lawsuit from a former employee. In addition to that, we have been hit with a bulls**t lawsuit from a former employee. Now essentially everything in this lawsuit is completely fictional and every lawyer that I've spoken to about it has described this as basically an extortion attempt, but it's still cost us a ton of money already and it's expected to cost us many hundreds of thousands of dollars to see this through to completion. It's insane to me that a person that we did so much for can just invent some grievances out of thin air and cost us this much money as a result. This person has literally lost every single friend that he used to have when he worked at no jumper. His streaming career has completely tanked and he even got kicked off the podcast that he left no jumper to start, but somehow that's our reality and we have to fight this rather than just give in to this piece of s**t. Even though the business was going through turbulent times, it seemed like Adam was taking
reasonable measures to keep business up and running. Over the last few months, we laid off multiple employees in an attempt to reduce our expenses as much as possible. We closed down our store on Melrose and were in the early stages of selling our current warehouse and moving into a smaller space. To be honest, aside from the layoffs which sucked, I'm pretty happy about a lot of these changes. I've realized that I should have paid more attention to DJ Vlad and kept my overhead as low as possible, particularly in terms of staff and location. I'm confident that once we get the building sold, we'll be in a pretty solid financial position again as a business. Oh, and I also just want to note that I am talking about no jumper as a business. I've got another business in the form of plug talk and I've got a pretty decent investment portfolio on a personal level. I mean, s**t, I'm not $2 million in debt and I never had to file for bankruptcy like T-Rail. But I honestly spend pretty much all of my time trying to create as much content as possible with no jumper and I can't really justify doing so unless the fundamentals of the business make sense.
Despite his personal financial success, Adam didn't want to shoulder the burden of getting no jumper back on its feet alone and expected fans to help him pick up the tab. So I know you're thinking, what can you do to help? Well, I do have some ideas which I'll sort into three categories here, free, cheap and generous, free. Obviously, I'm infinitely thankful to anyone who watches our content at all, follows us on the atno jumper LA Instagram and in particular, those of you who drop likes and comments on our videos and Instagram posts in the long run, that stuff is super helpful. Cheap. We are really trying to get serious about embracing our members here on YouTube. For $5 a month, we've got a ton of awesome benefits, including being able to watch all of our interviews free of censorship and bleep the words before their release to the public. Members only chat for all of our live stream content and we're just going to be prioritizing a lot of our most requested content and trying to do that live for members only. So for any of you who are down to spend $5 a month to help support the business, we're
just going to try to keep adding more and more stuff to make that an easy decision for you guys who are down to support. And for those of you who have more money to spend, we're introducing a mega premium $100 tier to our memberships that will get your name added to the end of all our videos and it will also get you consistent advice and opinions on your music submissions with one free submission per month and discounted additional songs. Basically, we're just trying to do as much as possible for anybody who's down to join this tier. Remember, this is the guy who was willing to sell out his fans for a quick buck less than two months ago. Now, he wants those same fans to pump up his business. It goes without saying, but viewers won't eager to show Adam any support with comments reading, and millionaire begging us for money is diabolical. Selling your wife and still going broke is crazy and pay us $100 to get free advice for what you want to do in your career. From a guy who runs a company on the verge of bankruptcy, the decline of the no jumper brand aside, some fans speculated that Adam was making this video to obscure the finances
of his business from law enforcement. Why would he do that, you may ask? Well, back in March, Adam's new co-host, Brick Baby, and a number of other gang affiliated individuals, who made appearances on the podcast, were either arrested or under FBI investigation. The reason why Brick got caught up is because of the money. 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 **** people are getting caught up for a ****, especially with Brick. It's like, I'm not seeing anything that says anything about stuff that he's done in the last two years since he's been ****ing with us, right? So you know, end of the day, I do employ people from streets, and I guess, you know, people from the streets sometimes get caught up in federal, Rico and Daetman, whatever the **** is. And all I can say is that, yes, I may crack a joke here and there. I'm sorry, I just my sick sense of humor. But end of the day, that's my boy. I'm standing with him. Loose, I love for loose too.
We're going to be documenting this whole thing, helping them all on the way, whatever it is. So anybody acting like this is because of no jumper? No, no jumper was the antidote to this bull. Adam's proximity to gang activity naturally put him in the crosshairs of law enforcement. And it was earlier matter of time before they reached out to him for questioning. I'm in my house. I'm playing poker on my computer. A guy comes to my front door and I didn't actually even know, but my girl was communicating with him through the box in the front of our house with the camera. She texts me. She says a dude is here from the FBI and basically he's trying to serve you with a subpoena. And so she told him like a rider that I would, she told him, Adam's not here and he's off at work or whatever I figure what she told him. And so I immediately hop on the line with my lawyer. I said, what should I do? I don't want to handle the situation wrong over and over and over. I've sat down with rappers or whoever who tell me about situations in which they divulged too much information to the police or whoever and it ended up coming back to bite them.
Unfortunately for Adam, his lawyer handled the situation and confirmed he wasn't under suspicion. However, there was something else that they wanted. The fact that the nerd jumper podcast had given so many of these gang members the opportunity to incriminate themselves naturally led people to a shoe and Adam was actively facilitating it. Whether or not this was the case is hard to prove, but Adam made sure to deny any involvement. You don't feel like you played no part in them getting booked at all. No, they set up here and then you clipping it up. I mean, I get you live and people might be able to screen record, but some of these fans, you sit back like even the fans probably like, I can't believe like this, this
done. Then you clip it up to reiterate what they said. My attitude is basically if somebody comes on the podcast and they want to live their true, they want to talk about the things that they've been through, then it's none of my business to dig through each podcast and figure out what's criminal, what might come back to get them. Because let's be real, this is hip hop where a huge percentage of people's lyrics, songs, etc are basically putting them in the mix and acknowledging that they've been involved with crimes. Despite that disclaimer, Adam was more than willing to call these gang members to boost his viewership. Rick and Smiley are both trying to hit me at the same time. Brick Baby. Hello. Hello. Ayo. Brick. No, we all know if they're bricked like they're pretending like. Hey. Bro, Luscious sitting right here wearing a free brick baby hoodie that he had made at the swap me in earlier today. Come on. My brother.
I, I, I, I, I, I. Yeah. Right. Wait, you really, you were, you were challenge? You got sick again. Really? I swear to god. Like I probably should water one time maybe. Adam has a reputation of denying involvement or deflecting blame when it's convenient for him and only accepts responsibility when there's something to be gained. He did this with the crypto scam and now is doing it with the police investigation. However, when it comes to milking said investigation for views, Adam is more than happy to oblige. As many of the recent videos on the No Jumper channel either refer to it directly or mention it passively. Considering the current direction of the No Jumper brand, it's obvious that Adam no longer understands or cares about what made the brand successful in the first place. Instead of focusing on the type of content that's brought the business to where it is now, Adam has become a master of marketing degeneracy and promoting gang activity.
As long as it made him money, Adam wasn't the slightest bit concerned about who he had to use, whether it was his wife, fans or the guests of his show. Adam happily welcomed the idea of throwing all of those close to him under the bus.
