**Legal Troubles for Ant Jefe**:
Ant Jefe, whose real name is Maurice Shelmon, the co-host of the popular podcast "No Jumper," was charged with felony murder in Los Angeles on May 19th, according to TMZ, citing law enforcement officials. The Los Angeles Police Department's Robbery-Homicide Division arrested him, and his bail was set at $1 million, as per arrest records obtained by E! News.
**Adam22's Response**:
No Jumper founder Adam22 (real name Adam Grandmaison) responded to the arrest on his Instagram Story hours later. He shared a screenshot of a text message he sent to a TMZ reporter. "Honestly, I don't know anything yet, so I'm not of much value," he wrote. "But he's been a great podcaster for the last year or so, and as far as I knew, he wasn't really in the streets like that anymore, so this was all a huge shock."
**E! News' Inquiry**:
E! News reached out to the LAPD for comment but has not yet heard back. They were also unable to locate an attorney for Shelmon. Grandmaison, who recruited Shelmon in May 2025, said he learned of the news alongside cohosts Munchie B and Lush (real name Nicholas Hurok Hyams) during their podcast's May 19th episode when the rapper didn't show up to set.
"I would bet money that he got arrested or something," Grandmaison said on the episode. "I don't want to wish it on him, but him being three hours late, phone off, not responding to anybody? It doesn't add up." Although his fellow cohosts initially speculated that Shelmon, 35, may have simply lost service or been dealing with a family emergency, the trio later pulled up his arrest record in the episode.
**Shelmon's Past**:
Shelmon hadn't shied away from his legal troubles, previously sharing insight into his past run-ins with the law, including multiple arrests as a teen. "I was running with people who were five and 10 years older than me," he said on the No Jumper podcast in June 2025. "I really started at a young age. My peers, they started gangbanging three, four years down the line."
"My whole time as an adolescent was back and forth, in and out of jail, from gangbanging and stuff," he shared. "Catching cases, whether it was a gun case or a stolen car." Eventually, he admitted that it "got tiresome" and decided to make different decisions in adulthood. "Once I start gathering information and I start having a better understanding of life," he explained, "and I start having a better respect for life and stuff, wanting to travel and be cultural, that's when a motherf--ker starts respecting stuff more." As he put it, "Like, man, it's more to it than this gang stuff."
