Adam22 Hit with $10K Lawsuit After Alleged No Jumper HQ Assault
Hey, I’m Riley Carter and I’m here with the latest on a lawsuit shaking up the podcast scene. Another day, another unexpected legal twist at the No Jumper HQ in Burbank.
A man named Jeremel Reed filed suit against Adam22, claiming he was violently attacked by people linked to the popular podcast’s headquarters in December 2024. Reed’s court documents, obtained by TMZ, say he suffered a concussion, a broken nose, bruised eyes and enduring pain and suffering after an alleged brawl at the Burbank studio. Beyond the physical injuries, Reed says he lost over $10,000 worth of personal belongings during the incident.
According to Reed’s complaint, he believes the attackers were agents, employees, guests or affiliates of Adam22’s company. He argues that Adam22 was on notice about prior safety issues—complaints from visitors, police calls and other signs that the premises could be unsafe—but failed to properly supervise or secure the property. Reed’s lawsuit demands compensation for medical bills, pain and suffering and the value of stolen cash and valuables.
Adam22’s public relations representative told TMZ, “We have received no complaint, so we have no comment. We can’t comment on a suit we haven’t seen.” Meanwhile, an insider close to the host insists that Adam22 had no direct involvement in the altercation and views the lawsuit as a money grab. Despite these denials, Reed maintains the host bears responsibility because the alleged attackers were connected to the No Jumper brand.
The No Jumper podcast, founded by Adam Grandmaison (known professionally as Adam22), has grown into a major platform for underground hip hop culture and interviews with rising artists. The Burbank office functions as both a recording studio and a community hangout, which Reed says allowed dangerous behavior to go unchecked. His attorney’s filing highlights repeated warnings from law enforcement and neighbors, suggesting the podcast space was turning into a hotspot for violence.
Legal experts say the case hinges on proving that Adam22 knew about threats to guest safety and that he failed to take reasonable steps to prevent harm. If the court finds negligence, Reed could collect not only damages for his injuries but also punitive losses for the alleged deprivation of property. On the flip side, Adam22’s team will likely argue there is no direct evidence tying him to the December incident and that any wrongdoing was the act of third parties beyond his control.
This lawsuit adds to a growing trend of litigation around celebrity-run spaces and events. As podcasts and influencer brands expand into real estate and live gatherings, hosts face new liability risks. Will Reed’s case set a precedent or fizzle out? Stay tuned.
So yeah, that’s the rundown. You decide what’s next.
