In a tearful and unexpected call from behind bars, rapper Bricc Baby took a moment to set the record straight. Speaking directly to his fans, the Los Angeles rapper debunked recent rampant rumors that he was responsible for a brutal prison stabbing. The call wasn’t just a denial but a reminder of who Bricc Baby is and why his voice still needs to be heard, even from behind bars.
Bricc Baby, whose real name is Brandon Caddell, was arrested earlier this month as part of the large federal roundup known as “Operation Draw Down.” The operation targeted the Rollin’ 60s Crips, and the government-linked them to serious crimes like drug trafficking, gun offenses, and murder. Bricc Baby was particularly mentioned in a RICO indictment for an alleged murder in Las Vegas, based on major reports from Worldstar and Times Now.
However, the instant his name hit the headlines, the internet started spinning its own stories. A fake rumor spread like wildfire on social media that Bricc Baby had been stabbed in custody.
On March 26, Adding fuel to the fire, the No Jumper podcast—operated by host Adam22—has been pulled into speculation. The podcast has hosted guests such as Bricc Baby and Riemoh, prompting Reddit users to speculate about federal informants and backdoor agreements. None of these allegations are backed by official sources, though.
Adam22 addressed the rumors, saying the feds visited him but clarified he wasn’t involved in the case. Bricc Baby said on the call,
“They talkin’ crazy, I ain’t been touched, and I ain’t touched nobody.”
Other than denying the stabbing, Bricc Baby also showed that he hasn’t forgotten what matters the most to him—his fans and music.
“They can lock me up, but they can’t lock up my words,” he said. “I got bars ready to drop when I touch down.”
Even behind bars, Bricc Baby has innovated, having reportedly penned new lyrics and conceived ideas for future projects. According to sources close to the rapper, he’s more focused than ever on producing raw, unapologetic music that tells his tale and reflects his life—a signature sound that’s kept his fanbase loyal for years.
The backstory of Bricc Baby’s recent legal troubles is complex. “Operation Draw Down” has left the Los Angeles hip-hop world reeling. Federal officials targeted top members of the Rollin’ 60s, labeling the group a “mafia-style” criminal enterprise. Bricc Baby’s arrest, along with those of others like Luce Cannon, made the news due to the charges and the high-profile involvement.
Bricc Baby’s call wasn’t just about clearing up rumors—it was personal.
“I ain’t forgot about y’all, Every time I write, I’m thinking about the people who still play my music, who still believe in me. I’m comin’ back harder.”
He told listeners.
Those who know him claim the rapper has been reflecting on his career a lot and wants to utilize the time to tighten his lyrical delivery and storytelling. For Bricc Baby, it’s not so much about fighting a case—it’s about proving he can rise above the headlines and create music that resonates.
As the court proceedings continue, Bricc Baby’s situation is part of a broader conversation about street culture and rap and how intertwined those worlds are. The fact that he felt compelled to speak out from prison speaks to a desire to defend himself and a commitment to the art form that made him a viable voice in hip-hop.
