‘No Jumper’ Podcast Host Ant Jefe Arrested on Suspicion of Murder

Ant Jefe is sitting in a Los Angeles jail cell facing serious allegations.

The rapper and “No Jumper” podcast co-host, born Maurice Shelmon, was arrested by detectives from the LAPD’s Robbery-Homicide Division on Tuesday, May 19, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department’s inmate information website.

Shelmon, 35, is being held on $1 million bail. As of Thursday morning, the exact charges against him had not yet been entered on the website.

TMZ, which was the first outlet to report on the arrest, cited law enforcement sources who said he is facing a felony murder charge.

After learning about the arrest, Shelmon’s co-hosts discussed the case during a livestreamed episode onTuesday.

“It’s crazy but if Ant got locked up, you know it’s on some gangster shit,” said “No Jumper” founder Adam 22.

The hosts then pulled up his online arrest record and were shocked that bail had been set at $1 million. “A million dollar bail is 187,” one of the hosts said, referring to the police code for murder.

“TMZ is reporting a murder charge, allegedly. We don’t know. We weren’t able to see his charges,” another co-host said. “Free Jefe, bro. Last week he was literally sitting here saying he just got a new spot. He was elevating the lifestyle, maybe getting out of some familiar places, just trying to separate himself from the crowd a bit more.”

Shelmon grew up in South Central Los Angeles. On the June 4, 2025 episode of “No Jumper,” he said he’d spent time in prison, but insisted he had turned his life around.

“I don’t get caught up in that shit, I just be doing me,” he said.

The rapper confirmed he had been in a street gang when he was younger.

“Like when I started at 11, 12 — the average 11, 12 year olds wasn’t doing what I was doing. And the people I was running with was five and 10 years older than me. So, I really started at a young age. For real, like my peers, they had started gang banging three, four years down the line and stuff like that,” he explained.

He said his days of hanging with gang members were in the past.

“That shit gets tiresome after a while,” he said. “And I just feel like the people who [are] my age, if you really been in the streets like you say you’ve been… if you’re trying to keep up the same shit you was doing as a teenager, you’ve got to loser mentality.”
