Afroman, known for his breakout hit "because I got high" has won a libel case against officers from the Adams County police department. The officers had sued him for defamation following years of song creation and selling of merchandise about them or with their likenesses.
Police officers initially raided Afroman's home in Adams County Ohio in 2022 with a warrant for narcotics trafficking and kidnapping. After destroying his gate, kicking down his door, stealing some $400 in cash and famously a piece of lemon pound cake, no charges were filed. Afroman posted footage of the raid online, and the videos went viral.
The defamation suit centered on claims in Afroman's videos that the police in question were among other things gay, pedophiles, thieves, or their wives engaged in sexual relations with Afroman. Ultimately it was ruled he was not liable and his actions were protected first amendment speech after a speedy jury trial.
Notably during the court case, which was live streamed, his videos over the past 4 years were shown in their entirety. One such 13 minute video, filmed during the trial and shown to the jury, involves an actress portraying the officer Afroman dubbed "Licc'em low lisa" actively engaged in oral sex with women and having sex with Afroman. Other notable occurrences include when one officer was asked whether he really believed Afroman had sex with his wife, to which he replied, he did not know.
