I remember he had a hit with a lighthearted song, then 9/11 happened and no one wanted to hear it anymore.

That video is great, and the music isn't bad, either.

Seven law enforcement officials, who conducted an armed raid of the rapper Afroman’s home in August 2022, are now suing him for invasion of privacy.

I'm pretty sure that LEO's have NO expectation of privacy in the conduct of their duties. At least they shouldn't. It's a very serious thing when armed young men break down someone's door and search their house.

The Adams County Prosecutor’s Office said officers found no probative criminal evidence during their raid, and no charges were filed.

A true journalist would be asking all the obvious questions behind the warrant.

But this is no journalist:

She would also be asking why they are hiring police who can not count.

"How does it cross the line? It’s his cams, caught them in the house."

Two of the videos were hilarious. He pokes fun at the officers who broke into his house.

That third video (linked in post #12) crosses the line because he talks obscenely about the officers' wives (who didn't break into his house).

I hope he gets attorneys fees and everything else directly out of these douchebags pockets and not the taxpayer’s wallet when they lose.
