Afroman Sues Deputy in Legal Flip | Cincinnati News

Afroman, the rapper who made “Because I Got High” famous, is back in the legal spotlight — this time as the plaintiff. After winning a high-profile defamation case against deputies who raided his home, he’s now suing one of them for allegedly stealing $400 and then attempting to sue him for $1.5 million. The drama began in 2022 when deputies raided his property, but no charges followed — prompting Afroman to turn the tables with viral diss tracks and videos. That sparked a seven-deputy lawsuit seeking nearly $4 million, which he ultimately won — a landmark victory for free speech. Now, he’s flipping the script, accusing the officer of malicious prosecution and other torts, demanding $25,000 per claim, lawyer fees, emotional damages, and punitive damages — all to be decided by jury.
