After the Adams County Sheriff's Office raided the home of Afroman and found nothing, Afroman turned footage of the raid into a music video. Now, the officers are suing over "emotional distress, embarrassment, ridicule, loss of reputation and humiliation.”



ADAMS COUNTY, Ohio (WXIX) - Seven members of the Adams County Sheriff’s Office who raided Joseph Foreman’s home last year are now suing him claiming, among other things, he invaded their privacy.

Four deputies, two sergeants and a detective are claiming Foreman (a.k.a. “Afroman”) took footage of their faces obtained during the raid and used it in music videos and social media posts without their consent, a misdemeanor violation under Ohio Revised Code.

They’re also suing on civil grounds, saying Foreman’s use of their faces (i.e. personas) in the videos and social media posts resulted in their “emotional distress, embarrassment, ridicule, loss of reputation and humiliation.”

The plaintiffs say they’re entitled to all of Foreman’s profits from his use of their personas. That includes, according to the complaint, proceeds from the songs, music videos and live event tickets as well as the promotion of Foreman’s “Afroman” brand, under which he sells beer, marijuana, t-shirts and other merchandise.

They’re also asking for an injunction to take down all videos and posts containing their personas.

Will You Help Me Repair My Door Lyrics (excerpt)

[Chorus]
Will you help me repair my gate?
Will you help me repair my door?
Did you find what you was looking for?
Will you help me repair my gate and door?

Would you like a slice of lemon pound cake?
You can take as much as you want to take
There must be a big mistake
Would you like to have a slice of my lemon pound cake?
The warrant said "Narcotics and kidnapping"
The warrant said "Narcotics and kidnapping"
Are you kidding? I make my money rapping
Why does the warrant say "Narcotics?" (Well, I know narcotics)
But why kidnapping?
Let me ask you something, Officer
Any kidnapping victims inside my suit pockets?
Are therе any kidnapping victims inside my suit pockets?
You crooked cops need to stop

1. I read about this the other day. Hilarious.

That's clever as hell for him to do that. I love it.

I can't see they have a leg to stand on to stop him doing this. They invaded his home.

I'm surprised he didn't reference Breonna Taylor in the song because these police raids are out of control.

And her death is proof of that.
