Atlantic Records Has 'Parted Ways' With Adam22 Following Sexual Assault Allegations

Atlantic Records has cut ties with Adam Grandmaison, aka Adam22.

Earlier this year, the internet personality confirmed he was partnering with the entertainment giant to launch a hip-hop imprint called No Jumper Records. It was a big move for Grandmaison, who also hosts the popular podcast No Jumper; however, the announcement was quickly met with backlash.

In March, Pitchfork published a story in which two women claimed Grandmaison had sexually assaulted them—allegations Grandmaison vehemently denied: "I've done plenty of stupid shit in my life. But I've never raped or hit a woman," he said in a statement posted on Twitter.

Shortly after the Pitchfork story was published, an Atlantic spokesperson released the following statement: "We take any allegations of this nature very seriously and we are looking into them."

A source with knowledge of the situation claimed Atlantic relaunched their investigation in light of another damning report by The Daily Beast. The story, which was published in late October, detailed a woman's claims that Grandmaison had sexually assaulted her while she was visiting Los Angeles a year ago. Grandmaison also denied these allegations in a recent YouTube video.

On Wednesday, an Atlantic spokesperson told The Daily Beast that the company had "parted ways" with Grandmaison; however, it's unclear if the No Jumper imprint will go forward without Grandmaison's involvement.
