Afroman and the sheriff

Post by Pigeon » Sat Mar 25, 2023 12:18 am




Raid on Ohio home

On August 23, 2022, TMZ reported that Afroman had taken to social media and posted images and videos of his home in Adams County, Ohio, being raided by the sheriff's department. He reportedly asked for representation from attorney Ben Crump. Local news media reached out to law enforcement who declined to give any information about the warrant and search. Afroman also posted about a previous burglary on his home where he was threatened with arrest by the sheriff's department if he kept checking about the progress of the case and was told they did not have time to provide him with an update. He recorded a pair of songs criticizing the raid, titled "Will You Help Me Repair My Door" and "Lemon Pound Cake" and released two music videos composed entirely of security camera recordings of the raid, to his YouTube account, on December 29, 2022.

On March 14, 2023, seven police officers from the Adams County Sheriff's office sued Afroman, alleging that his use of their personas from the video of the raid was an invasion of the officers' privacy.
