Rapper and marijuana enthusiast Afroman was the subject of a police raid by the Adams County Sheriff’s Department in Ohio on August 21, 2022. At the time Afroman was in Chicago and alerted of the raid by a neighbor who sent video and photos.
Rapper Afroman Raided by Police While Out of Town – Seeking Heavy-Hitting Legal Services of Ben Crump
From his recollection, Adams County deputies barged into his house with their weapons out looking for drugs. Afroman said that he didn’t know why they hit up his house looking for illegal drugs or a massive stash since all he had was a jar of bud and a vape pen.
He believes that his situation—similar to Young Thug and YSL’s–was a result of being profiled because of his music. Afroman’s music, while often comedic and touching on life experiences, also focuses on marijuana use and culture. He’s a very well-known quantity in those circles.
There was also Afroman following up on a robbery at his residence which he claims the police didn’t like. The “Because I Got High” artist took to Instagram to vent and explain his side of the situation:
“While I’m out here working and paying taxes the. Adams county sheriff department is at my house kicc-ing in my door and stealing my money. One time my house got burglarize while I was on tour. For home insurance purposes I tried to fill out a police report. The cop came out three days later he told me they was really busy. He took my report. I would call every day and see if there was any progress being made. The Adams county sheriff department threaten to arrest me for checc-ing up on the case too frequently. I excepted the fact that the police department is not necessary here to protect and serve me a blacc man in America so I just took my loss and never called bacc. Now here they are kicc-ing in my door looking for weapons of mass destruction and 100,000,000 pounds of weed lol wow Donald Trump calls these investigations witchhunts.”
On the August 23, 2022 TMZ Live, Afroman spoke about the raid and how they wanted him to head down to the station to talk. Needless to say, Afroman isn’t interested in doing so without some legal representation and is seeking the services of civil rights attorney Ben Crump.
“All in my bedroom messed up my bedspread. Where is the guns ? Where is the dope ? What if you don’t find anything ? Are you going to make my bed back hang my suits bacc up ? Put my door bacc on the hinges ? Does anybody have Ben Crump‘s phone number ?”
