In a shocking turn of events, rapper and No Jumper co-host Brick Baby has been sentenced to decades in prison following a significant crackdown on gang-related activities in Los Angeles. On March 19, 2025, Brick Baby, alongside fellow co-host Loose Cannon and other alleged members of the Roland 60s Neighborhood Crips, was arrested as part of a federal operation dubbed “Operation Draw Down.” The operation, led by the U.S. Attorney’s Office, aimed to dismantle the notorious gang known for its violent and criminal enterprises.
Court documents reveal that Brick Baby and his associates were implicated in a variety of severe offenses, including drug trafficking, racketeering, and firearms violations. The charges stemmed from a criminal complaint filed by Special FBI Agent Andrew Rousa, which described the gang’s stronghold over Los Angeles through intimidation and violence. If convicted, Brick Baby faces the prospect of life behind bars, following in the footsteps of other artists recently indicted under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act.
Adding to the controversy, speculation arose regarding the role of Adam22, the host of No Jumper, in Brick Baby’s legal troubles. Many fans took to social media to accuse him of exploiting his guests’ gang affiliations for views, with some suggesting he bears some responsibility for the arrests. In response, Adam22 defended his platform, asserting that No Jumper has helped many individuals transition away from crime by providing them with opportunities to make legal income.
The arrest of Brick Baby is a culmination of years of investigation into the Big U Enterprise, which allegedly operated under the guise of a philanthropic organization while engaging in heinous criminal activities, including extortion and murder. As law enforcement continues to pursue other members of the gang, the implications of this crackdown resonate throughout the hip-hop community, raising questions about the intersection of street culture and modern media. With Brick Baby’s future now uncertain, many are left to ponder the repercussions of his lifestyle choices and the broader impact on those involved in gang culture.
