Rapper Afroman is being sued by several Ohio law enforcement officials after he put footage of their 2022 raid on his house in music videos about the incident.

The Grammy-nominated rapper, who is best known for his 2002 jam “Because I Got High,” made a whole album about the August 2022 raid in which police broke down his door based on a search warrant for drug trafficking and kidnapping. No evidence supporting those allegations was found and no charges were filed.

He told NPR of the incident, “I asked myself, as a powerless Black man in America, what can I do to the cops that kicked my door in, tried to kill me in front of my kids, stole my money and disconnected my cameras? And the only thing I could come up with was make a funny rap song about them and make some money, use the money to pay for the damages they did and move on.”

The musician, whose given name is Joseph Edgar Foreman, wrote about the raid in several of his songs, including “Lemon Pound Cake,” which opens with they lyrics, “The Adams County sheriff kicked down my door, then I heard the glass break. They found no kidnapping victims, just some lemon pound cake.”

In the surveillance footage included in the video, police are shown kicking in the door and walking past the titular cake on the kitchen counter. Afroman told NPR that the cops also broke his video surveillance system and stole $400 from him.

Four deputies, two sergeants and one detective from the Adams County Sheriff’s Office are now suing him, his label and a Texas-based music distribution company for invasion of privacy.

In the complaint filed last week, they said they have received death threats, and also suffered “humiliation, ridicule, mental distress, embarrassment and loss of reputation.” Unless the music videos and social media posts are taken down, “Plaintiffs will suffer irreparable injury to their reputations, their mental health, and their legally protected rights,” the complaint read.

They are also seeking all proceeds of the songs and videos, as well as his merchandise, including sales of the malt liquor made by his 4204 Main Street Brewing Company.

Afroman said his reaction to the lawsuit was “a drop of anger, disbelief and a little anxiety, followed by tons of laughter. I was thinking, these big bad cops … are being beat up and bullied by those little corny rap songs I made about them. I’m like, ‘Oh my god, are you letting me know that my raps are working on you?'”

He was already planning a defamation lawsuit against the police and now plans to countersue. “I want to sue them for stealing my money, I want to sue them for writing ‘kidnapping’ on a warrant and making me suffer financially in my industry because just that accusation makes people raise an eyebrow about you,” he added.

In December, Afroman announced he was running for U.S. President in 2024 as an Independent on the platform of getting “weed legal everywhere.”

Afroman posting this while in court as the trial is going on

View attachment 8718611

Hes got chatgpt making pedophile memes then posting them while wearing an American flag suit in the court is why America is the greatest country on earth.

I think he wants to loose so he can appeal and drag this on even longer for the free advertising

I’m all for shitposting but there’s a time and place for it. He’s begging for a contempt of court charge and the judge already looks like he hates him enough to nail him with one.

This is one of the most cattle brain statements I've read in this thread. Yes, niggers commit crimes and police sometimes deal with them. That's the way the world works.

However, some niggers don't commit crimes. Some niggers can live in civilized society. Some police officers are corrupt pigs who shouldn't be in the same room as a badge and a gun. Some pigs are pedophiles, lesbians, cucks, or megalomaniacs.

If a pig is willing to abuse his powers on a civilized nigger, he'll abuse his powers on terminally online losers like you. Sucking pig dick is just as pathetic as sucking nigger dick. You're sucking a dick either way, which is gay. You're being very gay right now. Please remove Lisa's dick from your mouth before continuing in this thread.
 
This police department has been fucking with a black man for 3 years because one of their officers was caught eye-fucking a cake while raiding his home under false pretenses.

Nonsense, I'm sure this actual retard who embodies every stereotype about rappers imaginable is the good guy in this scenario. And the media, which is well known for its even-handedness when it comes to Black folx, is simply reporting the facts without any deception at all.

I'm not sure he's actually rich. I've seen him live twice at a 300 max venue in a no where town which doesn't really scream rich to me. He probably got $1000 for the night.

The only way I'm seeing him do that much is playing festivals.

I've met him in passing a few times like 20 years ago and he was always chill.

That would be too good to be true. Still it could be interesting to see if Afroman have some hidden skeletons in his closet or not.

The only thing in his closet was a normal amount of weed and a few thousand in cash.

I would rather have corrupt cops, than a single nigger. You wanna laugh at chimps? Go to the zoo.

You know that one can tell a real nigger hater from a phony nigger hater? It's true. A real nigger hater knows why they hate the nigger. A phony nigger hater simply states that they hate him, and then expects to assimilate all the same. A real nigger hater doesn't look upon the nigger and hate the nigger for being a nigger, for a real nigger hater understands that the nigger knows what he does to earn his hatred. A real nigger hater sees a strong, otherwise capable man, who then turns to violence and hurting others to make his way. A phony nigger hater simply sees black skin, and then hates the skin for being black. Why hate black skin for being black? Is that not, itself, the logic of the nigger?

A real nigger hater is inspired in his hatred of niggers. He doesn't reiterate memes about hating niggers he's heard from others. He generates new nigger hatred. He contributes to the zeitgeist of hatred for the nigger. He subverts the nigger itself and its attempts at artistic expression to preempt the nigger in its attempts to accumulate social credit over the nigger hater. A phony nigger hater simply hates anything involving a nigger, because he has no true foundation for his hatred. No true principles delineating who, what, where, when, or most importantly, why they are hating any given nigger in any given nigger moment. After all, is that lack of critical consciousness not, itself, the lack of the nigger?

But most importantly, a real nigger hater knows when to restrain his hatred. A real nigger hater has hatred for far more than just the intrepid nigger. Oh no, the root of the hatred of the nigger comes from the root of hatred for all that degenerates our civilization and deteriorates what makes us great. Foreign geopolitical influence, heretical hegemonic power structures, and the corruption of our small-town government institutions. A real nigger hater knows that while hating the nigger is noble, hating him at all costs is a folly. When we're forsaking our own sacred communities by enabling unabashed corruption, all to spite a harmless nigger like Afroman who himself shucks and jives for our good ol' entertainment like a well-behaved jiggaboo nigger monkey should do, we are cutting off our noses to spite our face. And is that not, itself, the self-defeating behavior of the nigger?

So, as a real nigger hater, I must say, you bear the stench of the phony. You have no idea why you hate him. You have no intellectual rigor to your hatred. You are simply a sad, insignificant man vying to acclimate himself as a real nigger hater, in fact, as the quintessential nigger hater. And you attempt to do so in the most niggardly manner possible. I have fielded your application for senior membership to the He-Man Nigger Hater's Clubhouse and you have been rejected for being a phony nigger hater. Maybe try the Jeet Haters over at Weenie Hut Jr. instead.

What shoddy and corrupt police work. I really try to support law enforcement but when they do shit like this it’s hard.
I think Afroman taking what could arguably be the most based attitude toward the whole situation (especially considering the dude could’ve easily flown off the handle) by calling out and mocking the sheriff’s department in such a mellow way is admirable.
