Adam22 talks about Lil Pump on Vlad TV.
Adam John Grandmaison, who’s known as Adam22 and who’s the host of the pop culture-oriented podcast No Jumper, recently sat down with DJ Vlad for an interview on Vlad TV. On the show, he talked about controversial rappers, and how it was a bad idea for him to get on stage with Trump and dissing Eminem.
Lil Pump publicly backing Donald Trump and criticizing Eminem drew a response from Adam22. Adam noted that the Trump and Eminem moments are not smart long-term career decisions, and added that he believes there are Trump fans on Pump’s crew, so the endorsement wasn’t out of the question.
“It does not feel like he is necessarily huge right now,” says Adam22. I wonder, to what extent, the people would be open to a comeback. It kind of feels like the Eminem thing and the Trump thing, to whatever extent people we are gonna be open to hearing him again, it kind of feels like a lot of that might have closed the door for people’s willingness to fuck with him. Not artists but the fans, you know. He is kind of running through a lot of the same stuff that he already got popping off. Saying ‘F**k Eminem’ right now is the same as saying ‘F**k J. Cole’ at that time. You pick an elite rapper who is beloved and say ‘F**k you.’ That will get viral for a little bit but where do you go from there? So I did not love seeing that. It was kind of a bummer.”
