Jurors sided with rapper Afroman in a lawsuit in which several Ohio deputies accused him of defamation and sought $3.9 million in damages, Billboard reported.
Their lawsuit came after Afroman turned the Adams County sheriff's deputies' 2022 raid on his home into musical content, including his song and corresponding music video “Lemon Pound Cake.” The raid, during which the authorities had their guns drawn and seized more than $5,000 and other property from Afroman, did not ultimately result in charges against the rapper.
“All of this is their fault, and they have the audacity to sue me,” Afroman reportedly said during the three-day trial, arguing that it was his First Amendment right to “turn my bad times into a good time."
