Rapper Afroman Hearing Held on 4/20

In a small touch of irony, there was a pretrial hearing on 4/20, re a ridiculous lawsuit by Adams County deputies suing him on the day that many advocates for legalized use and encourage civil disobedience by smoking the illegal drug in public.

Afroman has been an outspoken advocate for legalization and was made famous by hit song, “Because I Got High” two decades ago.

Die Polizei stürmt das Haus von Rapper wegen vermuteten Drogenbesitzes (na gut ok) und Kidnapping (?), findet exakt null. Bricht dabei die Tür auf, verstört die Kinder, das (leider) Übliche.

Afroman produziert daraufhin zwei Lieder ("Will you help me repair my door" und "Lemon pound cake") und nutzt in den Videos die Aufnahmen seiner Überwachungskameras. Außerdem verkauft er Merch mit den Gesichtern der Cops.

Daraufhin verklagt die Polizei Afroman wegen "Invasion of privacy" und "emotional distress".

Kannste dir nicht ausdenken...

Apparently got raided for and drugs. They didn't find any evidence after searching his house and when they returned his cash there was allegedly $400 missing.

So he made 3 songs about it and used videos of the as the music videos.

Police raided the home of rapper Afroman, but it didn't lead to any charges. He decided to use footage from the raid in music videos — and now the police are suing him for invasion of privacy.

"I was thinking, these big bad cops ... are being beat up and bullied by those little corny rap songs I made about them," Afroman says. "I'm like, 'Oh my god, are you letting me know that my raps are working on you?'"
