No Jumper Host Adam22’s Heated Exchange with Rapper Rooga Sparks Online Reactions
3 min read
The latest episode of the No Jumper podcast took a dramatic turn when its host, Adam Grandmaison—better known as Adam22—nearly got into a physical altercation with rapper Rooga. The tension between the two escalated during a heated argument on the episode, which was released on Sunday, October 13, and quickly caught the attention of fans and social media users.
The argument stemmed from Rooga’s frustrations over a previous interview with Adam22. According to Rooga, the podcaster had promised to let him review the interview footage before it was published, but failed to follow through on that promise. Rooga also took issue with how Adam22 had interacted with certain individuals on the podcast, specifically referencing FBG Wooski and Mama Duck, the mother of the late rapper FBG Duck. Rooga expressed his displeasure with Adam’s behavior during those interviews, saying it wasn’t appropriate.

Adam22 defended himself, clarifying that his interactions with Mama Duck were mutual and flirtatious, and that no disrespect was intended. However, the explanation did little to calm Rooga, and the conversation soon became more intense.
The argument escalated to the point where Adam22 asked Rooga to leave the podcast. As the tension boiled over, fans were quick to take to social media to share their thoughts on the near-altercation.

One user on X (formerly Twitter) wrote, “Adam22 wanted all the smoke,” suggesting the podcaster was prepared for the confrontation. Another commented, “Ain’t no way he said Handsome guy 😭💀,” referencing Adam’s flirtatious behavior on the podcast. Reactions ranged from disbelief to speculation, with one user questioning, “I feel like if you clock a certain age you shouldn’t involve yourself in such drama… but I guess it’s just me.” Others believed the whole incident may have been staged, with one netizen writing, “I pray people know when something is staged.”

Opinions were divided, with some supporting Adam22 for standing his ground, while others sided with Rooga or criticized the interaction as unnecessary. “I like it. Adam stood his ground, never let him take an inch,” one person tweeted, while another wrote, “This gotta be scripted.” Another comment read, “He always ‘almost’ fighting somebody,” hinting that Adam22 has a history of getting into confrontations on the podcast.
The tension between Rooga and Adam22 arose not only from the broken promise about the interview footage but also from statements Adam had made in previous interviews. Rooga specifically mentioned Adam’s comments about FBG Wooski, criticizing him for bringing up the fact that Wooski had been shot in the head. Adam22 defended his actions, explaining that Wooski had targeted him first, and in the world of hip-hop, “you use whatever you got to talk sh*t.”

Rooga warned Adam that this kind of behavior could pull him into dangerous territory, particularly when it comes to gang-related issues. Despite the warning, Adam22 appeared unfazed, stating he was “not bothered” by the potential consequences. Rooga continued to press Adam, even criticizing his rap career, before the host eventually asked him to leave the podcast.
The episode continued with other guests, but the altercation between Adam22 and Rooga became the focal point for fans and social media users, sparking widespread discussion online.
As the No Jumper podcast remains one of the most popular in hip-hop culture, the incident has only fueled further debate over the sometimes volatile nature of the show and its host’s tendency to stir up controversy with his guests. Whether staged or real, the confrontation between Adam22 and Rooga has certainly left fans buzzing.
