Afroman wins Defamation case against Ohio Police

Afroman has won his legal battle after Ohio police attempted to sue him for defamation.

In 2022, Ohio police broke down Afroman’s door as part of a drug and kidnapping investigation. The raid did not lead to any charges.

Hilariously, he then released an album in 2023, titled Lemon Pound Cake. It was a piss-take of the CCTV footage captured from his house during the raid.

The deputies lawsuit came right after and requested $3.9m (£2.9m) damages for:

humiliation, ridicule, mental distress, embarrassment and loss of reputation.

However, the officers stole money, broke down his door, and trashed his house. It should have been Afroman suing them.

Afroman — because he got high

One song took aim at an officer who stopped mid raid to eye up a lemon pound cake on his kitchen counter. The song says the officer:

got the munchies because he got high.

Another was titled “Will you help me repair my door”, and needs no explanation. So far, it has over 11 million views.

During the trial, the Afroman said:

he had a constitutional right to make artistic and critical content about government officials.

His lawyer added that public officials:

could not use the courts to silence criticism simply because it hurt their feelings.

His lawyer also asked if any reasonable person would think a man wearing a flag suit in court “should be taken seriously”.

If you haven’t been following this, Afroman’s lawyers have also had some incredible moments — including asking if any reasonable person would think that a man wearing a flag suit in court should be taken seriously https://t.co/fb9R7EOja6

Afromans’ only defence witness during the trial was the ex-wife of one of the deputies.

Imagine that.

Playing the victim

Another deputy broke down in court — after trashing his house and stealing his money. Meanwhile, Afroman was vibing to his tune.

Officer Lisa broke down in court when they played the diss track about her. The camera cut to Afroman, and he’s just vibing to his song.

The lyrics of one track read:

Randy Walters son of a bitch /That’s why I f–ked his wife and got filthy rich

But in court, Randy Walters testified that he “wasn’t sure” if his wife was fucking afroman.

Having a cop testify under oath that he isn’t sure if his wife is fucking Afroman is a level of fucking with the police previously unknown. https://t.co/8WM6kbHfSv

He caused himself more humiliation than Afroman could have dreamed of, and we’re here for it.

This has been the only light in a very dark month of news. https://t.co/rUrDWL1qIE

The more you look into this the more hilarious it gets.

Not only are the songs making fun of the cops, but during the trial he said he made them to pay for the damages the cops did to his house.

One of the songs is about the officer’s wife asking him to sign her titties. 🤣 https://t.co/KjcMjArKEy pic.twitter.com/b4tM215bWp

I bet the Ohio police force didn’t think their trial would turn into a free promo for Afromans album. That one really backfired.

But at least Ohio is finally on the map…
