Podcaster Adam 22, whose real name is John Grandmaison, is the bane of Black America, and his recent interview with actor Orlando Brown and rapper 4xtra shows it. Adam 22’s show No Jumper thrives on instigating confrontations between men, mostly African American men, and needs to be boycotted by the same viewers he regularly makes a mockery of.

What Happened

In an interview with Orlando Brown and 4xtra, things took a dangerous turn when 4xtra violently grabbed Orlando Brown by the collar. The man repeatedly told Brown he would “slap” him. This happened after Brown called the other man “KeKe” in reference to actress and singer KeKe Palmer. The joke apparently rubbed the other guest the wrong way, but his actions are being viewed as a step overboard.

No Jumper hosted by Adam 22 is no stranger to drama. During a heated interview with rapper Suspect and self-proclaimed pimp Kelpy, the two got into a fistfight. The altercation starts when Suspect claims to have never heard of Kelpy. Kelpy responds by saying, “Kelpy the Pimp, bitch.” Dumbfounded, Suspect asks the other man what he said before standing and attacking him. The cameras continue to roll, with parts of the fight being censored. Adam 22’s inability to cut when filming or to even remove violent elements from his show is indicative of who he is.

After the altercation between Orlando Brown and 4xtra, Adam promoted the show by saying, “No Jumper. This is the only place you can get this kinda content.” He says, there “will be more like this in the future.” He used that confrontation as a moment to promote his show. He didn’t take time to check on Brown, who was obviously rattled. Brown continued to talk, but he was unsettled. Adam 22 has no empathy whatsoever.

The most troubling part of this is, Brown has publicly struggled with drug abuse and mental health issues. Because he is still a former Disney star and is arguably entertaining, leeches like Adam 22 prey on his celebrity for views. It’s a sad, telling maneuver revealing the ruthlessness of Adam 22. He’s willing to promote the most toxic behaviors on his show, as long he can make a dollar from it. His podcast amounts to no more than a shoddy boxing ring built on the foundation of his instigations.

For years, Adam 22 has used his growing No Jumper platform to spread hate throughout the hip-hop and entertainment industry, and his viewers should turn him off. Taking a note from Vlad, he’s capitalizing on promoting and instigating the lowest form of entertainment. The same community he’s bringing on his show to make a mockery of are the same ones keeping him in business. He doesn’t deserve a single view from them.

The Takeaway

Actor Orlando Brown cracked a joke and was subsequently assaulted by rapper 4xtra in front of Adam 22 on his show No Jumper. Adam 22’s security did nothing to stop it, and he himself used it as a promotional tool. His clear disregard and lack of respect for the hip-hop industry is reason enough to turn him off. The violence he instigates just proves it further.
