Rapper Afroman faces a lawsuit from Ohio law enforcement officers alleging that he invaded their privacy by using images of them raiding his house.
Afroman (real name Joseph Foreman) had his home raided in August 2022 by the Adam’s County Sheiff’s Office. They were looking for drugs and alleged kidnapping victims.
No charges were filed based on the raid. However, security cameras and footage from Foreman’s wife’s mobile phone were captured. Those images were used in subsequent videos mocking the situation.
“I asked myself, as a powerless Black man in America, what can I do to the cops that kicked my door in, tried to kill me in front of my kids, stole my money and disconnected my cameras?” Foreman said in an NPR interview. “And the only thing I could come up with was make a funny rap song about them and make some money, use the money to pay for the damages they did and move on.”
Four deputies, two sergeants and a detective with the Sheriff’s Office are part of the lawsuit against Foreman. They have requested that all media depicting them be pulled.
“I was thinking, these big bad cops … are being beat up and bullied by those little corny rap songs I made about them,” Foreman said to NPR. “I’m like, ‘Oh my god, are you letting me know that my raps are working on you?'”
Afroman is best known for his song, “Because I Got High.”

Jem Aswad Senior Music Editor Over the past few weeks it’s been mortifying, amusing and ultimately inspiring to witness the almost real-time reactions of the Cure’s founder/frontman Robert Smith to the hell-on-earth that is the concert-ticket purchasing process — and roll up his sleeves and do something about it. While high prices, availability issues and a bevy of vaguely defined “service fees” could be expected for such box-office record-breakers as Taylor Swift and Bruce Springsteen, Smith was as surprised as anyone to see the prices on his group’s “Lost World” tour, its first for several years. While the group had managed to avoid such controversial policies as platinum packages and variable pricing, Smith was appalled to see hefty service fees added to the cost of “Verified Fan” tickets, which are intended to protect fans by keeping tickets out of the hands of scalpers, for the tour.

Afroman is facing a lawsuit from seven law enforcement officers over him using footage from a police raid of his home in one of his music videos.The officers have alleged that the rapper – whose real name is Joseph Foreman – took recordings of their faces that were obtained from a raid which took place in Ohio in August 2022 and used them in music videos and social media posts without their consent.Four deputies, two sergeants and a detective have claimed that this has caused them ‘emotional distress, embarrassment, ridicule, loss of reputation and humiliation.’ All seven of them are seeking all of Foreman’s profits from his use of their images, including revenue from songs, music videos and concert tickets, on top of the promotion of his Afroman brand and merch proceeds. They are also demanding a court injunction to take down all videos and posts using their faces.The lawsuit names Foreman directly, as well as his recording brand and a Texas-based media distribution company as defendants.However, Foreman revealed in an Instagram post on Wednesday (March 22) that he intends to countersue for ‘the unlawful raid’ and ‘money being stolen’, as well as the damage caused to his family, career, and property.He also explained why he publicised the camera recording in the first place, writing: “My video footage is my property.
