I don't know how many of you have been following the Afroman vs the Ohio sheriff deputies, but this is the best thing I've heard in 2026. I had no idea yesterday I'd be even thinking of Afroman this year, let along regarding him as a genuine American hero, but here we are.
I cannot comprehend the sheer guts it took him to run into this flaming mess carrying a can of gasoline, but he did it... *and won*. Well done, sir. Well done.
Let me be clear: Afroman did say some things that I would not have said. However, damned if I'm going to tell a black man whose house was wrongly invaded by gun-swinging cops the right way for him to protest their actions. He was pissed, he said some not-nice things specifically to annoy the people who harmed him, he succeeded, he was sued for it, and he won. Even if I may not be thrilled about the specific actions, I'm delighted by the outcome.
Congratulations, Afroman!
@tek Yeah, even if there was actual defamation (I think he called one of them a pedo?) Though not the "I fucked your wife" part, a "reasonable person" knows its not a "statement of fact" any more than "I fucked your mom."
But fuck those guys, they got a bullshit warrant, broke down his door, waved guns around, and knew they were in the wrong because they tried to disconnect the security cameras. Fuck their feelings, and I'll call that dude "Lemon Pound Cake" if I ever see him IRL.
@unlofl Absolutely. Although, when asked in court if Afroman slept with his wife, the cop replied, quote, "I don't know", and Afroman *called his wife as his only witness*. My god. That's a dedication to a diss that I didn't even know was possible.
They busted into his house waving guns and then the crybullies sued because he hurt their little feelings and violated their privacy? LOL.
@unlofl That's my understanding, yeah,
She testified that she divorced her ex, one of the cops, not because of Afroman's song, but because he was sleeping with crackheads. No, really.

THIS IS HIS EX-WIFE ON THE STAND CONTRADICTING EVERYTHING HE WAS SUING ME FOR MAKE SURE YOU LOOK AT THE NEW VIDEO AND SONG IT’S CALLED SHAWN GROOMING GROOMS LINK IN BIO".
@tek OH MY GOD
I saw highlights but didn't watch the entire trial, and that is just so... well, another deterrent to more lawsuits, afroman will drag some nasty shit into the public record, even if you're not afraid of discovery.
I also thought about that for some of the videos. The prosecution doesn't want those in evidence, the jury will snicker, Afroman says funny mean shit he can't say in court, its terrible.
@unlofl If one person in that courtroom had started to giggle while they were playing "Lemon Pound Cake", the whole room would've erupted in laughter. I don't think the plaintiffs could possibly have won after showing that.
"This... This is why you're suing? His humorous commentary over security camera footage of you ransacking his house?"
There's simply no recovery from it.
@tek Even more brutal if the room breaks out in laughter, the judge declares a mistrial, they start over, and the second jury also can't help it and start laughing and hooting and hollering, and a second mistrial...
Wasn't the ACLU defending him? He could do that forever, just replay the humiliation on loop until they drop the case.
@unlofl “Not liable by reason of hilarity.”
I don’t know. His lawyer seemed the right guy for the job though.
Tekniquelly correct
