Afroman Wins Defamation Case Against Ohio Deputies Over Viral Music Videos
Written by DJ Sight on March 19, 2026
Rapper Afroman won a defamation lawsuit filed by seven Ohio deputies over viral music videos from a police raid on his home.
Turning the footage into satire, he called the officers “crooked cops” over missing cash. The deputies sought $4 million, but the jury ruled entirely in Afroman’s favor, affirming First Amendment protections for parody and criticism of public officials.
Afroman celebrated, calling it a win for free speech.
