The Feds Came To No Jumper To Arrest Drakeo The Ruler’s Killer
Detectives from the California Highway Patrol descended on the No Jumper podcast studio in Los Angeles this week, seeking to question an individual identified as “Bunchy B” in connection with the 2021 murder of rapper Drakeo the Ruler, according to a chaotic video transcript that has since gone viral. The visit, which occurred on two consecutive days, has ignited a firestorm of accusations, self-incrimination, and fear within the underground hip-hop community, with commentators alleging that Bunchy B’s own online bravado has handed law enforcement a roadmap to the killer. The first encounter took place on Tuesday when plainclothes officers approached No Jumper host Adam22, asking to speak with Bunchy B about an ongoing murder investigation. They returned Wednesday morning, again requesting a conversation with both Bunchy B and Adam22, specifically referencing the slaying of Drakeo the Ruler, whose real name was Darrell Caldwell. The rapper was stabbed to death on December 18, 2021, backstage at the Once Upon a Time in L. A. festival, a case that has remained unsolved despite widespread speculation. In the video, a commentator—whose voice is unmistakably that of a rival YouTuber—narrates the scene as Bunchy B sits visibly nervous, stuttering and evading direct answers. “Munchie B has been on this internet for the last five years tattletelling, self-snitching, doing everything in his power to self-incriminate and incriminate his own gang in regards to the murder of Draco,” the commentator says, using the rapper’s stage name. “He’s been doing it with absolutely nothing to gain from it outside of clout.” The commentator points to a specific Clubhouse session where Bunchy B allegedly admitted, “I pass the bottle to Draco’s killer every day.” That admission, the commentator argues, is a direct confession of association with the murderer. “That’s what they do,” he says. “Draco was all over, and then when we talk about it, we the police. Ain’t that crazy?” The tension in the studio is palpable. Bunchy B, who has been a frequent guest on No Jumper and other podcasts, is seen stammering when asked about the detectives’ visit. “I don’t got no conversation for them,” he says at one point, before pivoting to claim he would refer them to his lawyer. The commentator mocks this shift, noting that Bunchy B had no stutter when he was bragging on Instagram or gossiping on other shows. “You was just talking fine and straight when you was talking to that white man gossiping on them podcasts,” he says. “Now the police outside, now all of a sudden you get to stuttering.” The video transcript reveals a deeper web of accusations. The commentator identifies “Franken Stone” as the apparent person who stabbed Drakeo in the neck, a name that has circulated in street circles for years. “Franken Stone is the apparent person who actually stabbed Draco in the neck and killed him,” he says. “Now realize it’s over with. His life will probably end in a jail cell.” The commentator claims that Bunchy B’s online chatter has made Franken Stone a target, and that the BPS (Blood Piru Street) gang has already banned Bunchy B from its territory, threatening to kill him if he returns. “The BPS have told Munchie B’s homies that if they see Munchie B in BPS territory, they will murder him,” the commentator says. “With this situation with the police showing up and making it public, the BPS is even more pissed off at Munchie B because they blame him for all of this.” The involvement of the California Highway Patrol in a murder investigation has raised eyebrows. Typically, CHP handles traffic enforcement, but they can be assigned to multi-jurisdictional task forces. The commentator speculates that the detectives may be part of a broader effort to crack down on gang violence in Los Angeles. “Why is it the CHP?” he asks. “That’s what I’m confused about.” Adam22, the No Jumper host, expressed similar bewilderment on the podcast, noting that he didn’t understand why highway patrol officers would be investigating a murder. But the commentator offers a chilling theory: the police may want to speak to Adam22 because of the dangerous mix of people in his studio. “Maybe it’s because you got one employee in Munchie B who is allegedly actively plotting to murder another employee in Poetic Flaco, who both work in the building where Ralph the Plug works, whose brother was apparently murdered by somebody that Munchie B is passing the bottle to every day,” he says. “Maybe that’s why the police want to talk to Adam—to figure out what’s going on in this building and how do we keep certain people safe.” The video transcript is laced with accusations that Bunchy B has been “snitching” on himself and others for years, and that his online presence has now made him a liability to everyone around him. “You got to talking and telling people Franken Stone this, Franken Stone that,” the commentator says. “But I can’t even blame Munchie B because Franken Stone has apparently been telling folks well before Munchie B told folks that he murdered Draco the ruler.” The commentator claims that the entire Los Angeles gang community already knew who killed Drakeo, but Bunchy B’s public admissions have forced law enforcement to act. “You got everybody and their mama in LA knows who murdered Draco the ruler,” he says. “People who witnessed the murder are speaking. Munchie B don’t understand the amount of trouble him and his homies are in. Y’all are done.” As the video progresses, the commentator warns that this is only the beginning. He says he has not yet released “part two” of his own investigation into the murder, hinting that there is more evidence to come. “There’s a reason why I ain’t dropped part two yet to this Draco video,” he says. “Right now, y’all can probably figure out why I haven’t dropped part two yet. But trust me, bro, this goes deep.” The murder of Drakeo the Ruler has haunted Los Angeles for over two years. The rapper, known for his unique flow and confrontational lyrics, was stabbed multiple times during a backstage altercation at the festival. No arrests have ever been made, and the case has been plagued by rumors of witness intimidation and police ineptitude. In recent months, a series of YouTube documentaries and podcasts have renewed public interest, with some claiming to have insider information about the killer’s identity. One such documentary, released by Poetic Flaco, alleged that law enforcement had identified a suspect and were preparing to make an arrest. The commentator in the No Jumper video dismisses that claim as “bullshit,” but acknowledges that the recent police activity suggests the investigation is heating up. “I think that all of us who know him kind of thought that there was probably a really good chance that that was bullshit and that he was just saying that because somebody from the streets told him some shit,” he says of Flaco’s claims. Meanwhile, Bunchy B’s behavior on the podcast has drawn widespread ridicule. At one point, he attempts to downplay the detectives’ visit, saying, “I don’t live at No Jumper. Why they keep going here?” The commentator fires back, “You said, ‘Why didn’t they just go to my house if they were trying to talk to me?’ So that’s all. Why is it the CHP? That’s what I’m confused about.” The commentator also mocks Bunchy B for bragging about his lawyer, noting that the same man who was “talking fine and straight” on Instagram is now hiding behind legal representation. “Sir, stop pretending, man. Stop acting,” he says. “Now, I think Munchie B and other people assume that because they were not present or there when the murder took place that they’re in the clear. Not even understanding, man, that there’s this thing called conspiracy.” The legal concept of conspiracy is central to the commentator’s argument. He suggests that even if Bunchy B did not physically stab Drakeo, his online admissions of passing a bottle to the killer and his public discussions of the murder could make him an accessory or a co-conspirator. “Eyewitnesses are now more than ever willing to step forward and identify people,” he says. “You got people on my side of the world. They talking. They communicating. They ready to take deals.” The video transcript ends with a dire warning to other rappers and gang members who have been taunting Drakeo’s memory. “Rappers dropping songs as if they in the clear, as if they not on the chopping block as well,” the commentator says. “You rappers is in trouble. This was a conspiracy to murder that man, bro. And all of y’all who conspired to murder Draco the ruler will go to jail.” As of this writing, no arrests have been made, and the California Highway Patrol has not issued a statement regarding the No Jumper visit. Adam22 has not publicly commented on the detectives’ requests, and Bunchy B has not responded to requests for comment. The No Jumper studio, located in the Los Angeles area, has become a flashpoint for controversy in recent years, hosting a rotating cast of gang affiliates, rappers, and internet personalities who often speak openly about criminal activity. The situation underscores a growing phenomenon in the digital age: the blurring of lines between entertainment, confession, and evidence. With every livestream, every Clubhouse room, every Instagram post, individuals like Bunchy B may be unwittingly building a case against themselves. As the commentator puts it, “You got to saying too much. You got to saying too much. You got a lot of people caught up.” For the family of Drakeo the Ruler, the renewed attention may offer a glimmer of hope that justice is finally within reach. But for those caught in the crosshairs of the investigation, the knock on the door from the CHP is a stark reminder that the internet never forgets—and neither does law enforcement.
