Afroman Sues Deputy Over Legal Battle | Cleveland News
Description
Afroman, the rapper famous for “Because I Got High,” is suing a former deputy who sued him over music videos made from surveillance footage — and now he’s getting his revenge in court. After deputies raided his Ohio property without charging him with anything, Afroman turned the footage into viral music videos. That sparked lawsuits from several officers, including Brian Newland, demanding nearly $4 million — but a jury sided with Afroman, ruling his work was protected speech. Now, Afroman countersues, claiming Newland pursued the case maliciously, costing him money, damaging his career, and causing emotional harm. The new lawsuit is heating up in Adams County Common Pleas Court — and this time, it’s Afroman calling the shots.
