It was Afroman\u2019s defamation trial and he was determined to win.<\/p>\n<p>Afroman, real name Joseph Foreman, went from drinking Colt 45s and living his life to fighting what he calls \u201ccrooked cops\u201d after he was sued by seven Adams County Sheriff\u2019s deputies for defamation and humiliation. The deputies claimed Afroman defamed them and used their likeness for profit after the rapper dropped numerous viral songs about cops who raided his home.<\/p>\n<p>The judge found the rapper not liable for defamation or invasion of privacy regarding his music videos and Afroman is still celebrating what he calls a \u201cwin for free speech.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Afroman <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/episode\/fng-260323-afroman\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">told me<\/a> that responding to the cops with rap videos was the most American thing he could do.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s one power I have, and I\u2019m not giving it up,\u201d Afroman told The Daily Wire, wearing the same American flag suit he wore in court. \u201cI have the freedom of speech. So after they kick down my door, disconnect my cameras, steal my money \u2026 with my freedom of speech, I will address all of these issues.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m a classic American. I\u2019m a soul brother. I walk with a stroll. I play soul music. You know, all of that is America,\u201d Afroman said. \u201cThe fist that everybody throws up. That\u2019s American. You know, rap music \u2014 It\u2019s American, man.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><div class=\"youtube-embed\" data-video_id=\"audXVeEsDwo\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Colt 45s &amp; Crooked Cops: An Afroman Conversation\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/audXVeEsDwo?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=9xxK5yyecRo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lemon Pound Cake<\/a>\u201d and \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=0bNy7XO-SCI&amp;list=RD0bNy7XO-SCI&amp;start_radio=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Will You Help Me Repair My Door<\/a>\u201d are two of the botched-raid inspired songs racking in millions of views on YouTube. The lyrics are catchy with verses detailing what Afroman saw on the footage of the raid from his surveillance cameras. The pre-chorus of \u201cLemon Pound Cake\u201d details an officer caught on camera checking out the cake on Afroman\u2019s counter.<\/p>\n<p>Afroman said writing the songs was no different than writing his classic track.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve been writing about my pain for years, you know, \u2018Because I Got High\u2019 wasn\u2019t funny until I put it on paper. It kind of made it funny, you know what I\u2019m saying?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBecause I Got High\u201d is Afroman\u2019s most popular song and was even nominated for a Grammy in 2002, and now his lemon pound cake track is entertaining the internet. Afroman said the words to the viral soundtracks came easy to him once he sat down to write in the same kitchen that was raided.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI like my kitchen. I never thought I\u2019d like my kitchen because I used to hate washing dishes as a boy. So the kitchen was like my favorite and my worst. I loved it when it was time to eat, but I hated when it was time to clean up. You know?\u201d Afroman said. \u201cBut I wrote it right here on my kitchen table.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t let Afroman\u2019s outdated <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/ogafroman?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">profile<\/a> on X fool you, right now it reads \u201c2024 Presidential Candidate,\u201d but he has fans asking about his intentions for 2028.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf America needs me to be the president, I\u2019ll be the president. If America needs me to be the vice president, I\u2019ll be the vice president. If America just needs me to be a good citizen, I\u2019ll be a good citizen,\u201d Afroman said.<\/p>\n<p>Afroman is from California but says he plans to stay in Ohio, despite the cop saga. How did Afroman end up in Ohio? He says it was all because of a woman.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI try to be smart, but I have my, you know, side effects,\u201d Afroman said. \u201cI like big butts and I cannot lie.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Under oath or from his kitchen on a podcast, Afroman doesn\u2019t lie. His lyrics tell it like it is, and his lifestyle is unapologetic. His freedom of speech court win catapulted the singer back where he belongs \u2014 in the spotlight.<\/p>\n<p>Since the trial wrapped, Afroman has nearly 28 million views on his videos related to the 2022 raid, and the rapper turned chess player, turned courtroom sensation, is grateful for every one of them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t forget about your boy, Afro. I\u2019m putting a record out here in a little bit, but I just like the good vibes it\u2019s giving everybody right now.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/colt-45s-and-crooked-cops-i-talked-to-afroman-about-winning-the-internet\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Wednesday, March 18, 2026, in a small run-down courtroom in Adams County, Ohio, sat a man in an American flag suit, American flag sunglasses, a marijuana-shaped ring, and a legendary rap catalog.
