Fresh off his civil lawsuit win, Afroman, born Joseph Foreman, is taking aim at the Ohio officers who filed a defamation case against him after he mocked them in music videos following a failed 2022 raid on his home.

The “Palmdale” rapper recently sat down with Channel 5 With Andrew Callaghan for a two hour conversation released Wednesday, April 8, where he spoke about what came from beating the defamation claims, something that has also brought him renewed attention in the spotlight.

“Freedom of speech has been challenged,” he said. “There’s the original Americans who want their freedom of speech and there’s this new legal breed that’s evolving, who wants to challenge freedom of speech. With my case, we feel like overall, freedom of speech won.”

Afroman went on to describe what led up to everything. “I did my research and I wasn’t telling any lies. I was trying to figure out who the cops were and as I zoomed in on them, I’d take a picture of them and I’d go do my homework and do my research … I started to find out who these strangers were walking around in my house.”

The Adams County Sheriff’s Department carried out a raid on Afroman’s home in August 2022 as part of a warrant tied to kidnapping and drug trafficking allegations. Officers forced entry into the “Because I Got High” rapper’s house, pointed weapons and took more than $5,000 in cash.

“They was trying to intimidate and bully me,” he said during the interview. “So I was ready to play the bully game with them. And then they lost the bully game with all their AR 15s and Beetle Bailey helmets and battle shields.”

Afroman added: “Who is the biggest p—sies in court crying about their feelings hurt? Is it the rapper that don’t got nothing but some dirty rap songs, or is the big bad boys with the AR 15s? Who’s crying? I realized they was bullying me, so I bullied them back.”

Billboard has reached out to the Adams County Sheriff’s Department for comment.

No charges were ultimately brought against Afroman, and most of the seized money was later returned. He responded by calling out the seven officers in diss tracks like “Lemon Pound Cake,” where he referenced details from their personal lives and questioned missing cash while also joking about one officer eyeing the lemon pound cake inside his home.

In 2023, seven officers from the Adams County Sheriff’s Department, including Shawn D. Cooley, Justin Cooley, Lisa Phillips, Michael D. Estep, Shawn S. Grooms, Brian Newland and Randolph L. Walters Jr., filed a lawsuit seeking $3.9 million in damages. They argued that Afroman caused emotional distress and exposed them to threats through his music, videos and social media, claiming he used their likeness without permission and invaded their privacy.

A jury ultimately ruled in Afroman’s favor on March 18, clearing him of any liability and bringing the three day trial to a close, as the rapper walked out victorious wearing an American flag suit.
