In this episode, we dive into the surreal defamation lawsuit filed by seven members of the Adams County Sheriff's Department against rapper Afroman (Joseph Foreman). In Aug 2022, deputies executed a search warrant at Afroman’s home while he was away. Afroman used his security and body cam footage to create music videos (like "Will You Repair My Door" and "Lemon Pound Cake") and social media posts criticizing the raid. Seven deputies sued Afroman, alleging defamation and invasion of privacy, claiming his posts ruined their reputations and called them "thieves".
