3:06He forgot to pay his attorney because he got high. It's one more thing. I'm strong and daddy. One more thing. He may be Afro man, but he's an American man. I give you rapper Afro man. I didn't win America one. America still has freedom of speech. It's still for the people, by the people. Really interesting lawsuit just wrapped up. So the, because I got high rapper, real name Joseph Foreman. Afro man? Afro man. So did he have any other hits other than that? And I barely remember that. Does he a big deal or not a big deal? I think it was a one off. Because I got high. It was huge. She had another one called Crazy Rap. I believe, but it didn't even touch because I got high. Because I got high, it was very big. And was that back in the day where you make a lot of money off I haven't hit so?

4:06Might be. Barely? Yeah. Well, not only that, but one interesting thing about, like rap and hip hop and the old school stuff is, there's like immediately a market for it. It's not like rock bands that are cool. Then they're uncool for a real long time. And then they're cool again. You can do like old school art and be pretty quickly from what I've observed. Not like I'm an expert in it or anything. But. So anyway. Afro, Afro man who is essentially a one hit novelty wonder, got raided by the cops in Ohio. Let me get to the facts. Adam's County of Ohio, according to the complaint, four deputies, two sergeants and a detective were acting on a search warrant when they raided Mr. Foreman's residence in Winchester, Ohio on August 22. The warrant cited kidnapping and drug trafficking as reasons for the search, according to one of the lawyers.

5:06No charges resulted from the raid. Mr. Man was not at home during the 2022 police raid, but a security camera system and his wife using her cell phone recorded, quote, the faces and bodies of the officers while they were on the property, according to the lawsuit. Haven't gotten to the lawsuit party yet, but here it is. Mr. Foreman, Afro man, used the footage that his wife and the security camera took of the cops in his house in music videos, in promotional materials for his tours and on merch, including t-shirts that depicted the faces of some of the officers, according to the lawsuit. But so I'm just thinking about this before you go further. So it's my video equipment in my house and you are in my house. Yes. Okay. You have a warrant. In one of the music videos entitled, Will You Help Me Repair My Door? Surveillance footage shows the officers swinging open a gate, kicking down a door and roaming or armed around a living room in a kitchen.

6:08They kicked down his door. The other lemon pound cake, which will be referenced in the audio or about to play, shows one of the officers gun in hand, pausing briefly in Mr. Foreman's kitchen by a cake inside a glass cloach. C-L-O-C-H-E. Isn't that the big dumb thing you put? It's gotta be. Oh, I get into this age and not heard the word cloach. And you're so fancy. I figured you'd know. Yeah. You seem like this. So you have a bidet. You seem like this sort of person that would have a cloach. Yeah. I know several words. I can see you sitting on a bidet with your cloach in hand. Having a sandwich on a plate where you remove the cloach. That's what I call it. That's unsanitary. I'm way too fancy to do that. You monsters. Having a sandwich on a plate where you remove the cloach. I have your sandwich in them. Exactly. Whilst getting serviced from below. Oh, no. No. No. Jack, I thought that's where you were going. Never mind. Can you explain where you were going? All right. So the song is lemon pound cake.

7:09Show's one of the officers gun in hand. Poising briefly by the cake, right? And the line in the song is it made the sheriff want to put down his gun and cut him a slice. Then in a social media post, the month after the raid, Mr. Foreman wearing one of the promotional t-shirts thanked one of the officers for helping and get 5.4 million views on TikTok. Congratulations. Again, you're famous for all the wrong reasons. So anyway, the cops sued Afro man. Over all of this, accused him of causing the mental distress by using footage from the raid on his home in a pair of music videos. They said in a complaint that Mr. Foreman's use of their images in the music videos and promote his brand had caused them to suffer, quote, humiliation, ridicule, mental distress, embarrassment, and loss of reputation.

Here is some audio from the actual trial. We'll start with 15. Can you tell me what fact about you that receding hairline or dipshit refers to, please? I'm sorry. What private fact of yours does that refer to? I mean, there's a picture of me, and i see here talking about, um... See, i wouldn't trust him with myth and fedamine crackass alone in my house. So i find that pretty insulting. So that's the statement of what you're suing on. I told you this is one of many. And that's why you keep trying to make it singular. I'm telling you it's not singular, it's plural. Okay, and so one of them is dipshit. One is receding hairline.

12:19And the other is methods. Yes. This is good to try. If i ever end up in a jury, i want to trial like this. This is that attorney going in. I'm not sure if it's the same officer or a different one. Doesn't really matter. Sean, you were uh... Called Officer Pancake. By Mr. Farman. Multiple problems. You well, you've had some pancakes that work. And the context of that name comes from a music video with that Mr. Farman created. Correct? I don't know where he got it. Yeah, that's still my question. Okay. Well, I'm going to play once more defensive zip of D. I'd like you to watch this. Okay.

14:06That's the thing you hear the officer testify that he received hundreds of pound cakes at work. Sent by various people. If I'm a juror, I'm clapping. Yeah. I'm cracking up. I'm sorry, I was cracking up. Well, if I'm the sheriff, I'm cracking up. I think it's just hilarious. I don't sue the guy in sound of my life has been ruined. You guys see whatever. Did you see the video of this? No, I haven't. Okay, so when he just said he's a family guy, it's because the dude looks just like Peter Griffin. And he doesn't just stop and look at the pound cake. He like stutter stops and then homes in on it. What is that? His attention keeps getting broken from whatever he's aiming his firearm at by the pound cake. It's gone out and he keeps getting distracted by the cake. That's fantastic. Yeah, I've got to watch this video.

15:06We'll post it when I'm stronger. Okay, so before we wrap up, because I've got to get to the verdict, here is an attorney grilling Mr. Afro Man himself. Searching your house gave you the right to do everything. Under the circumstance that I got freedom of speech, after they run around my house with guns and kicked down my door, I got the right to kick a can in my backyard. Use my freedom of speech. Turn my bad times into a good time. Yes, I do. And I think I'm a sport for dealing so. Because I don't go to their house, kicked down their doors, flipped them off on their surveillance cameras, then tried to play the victim and sued them. Wow. He won. Jerry delivered its verdict after the three day trial that raised questions of policing, free-speech protections and artistic freedom. They said, no, no, you can't sue him, you lose. He won because he was funny. Wow. Yeah, I wonder. Didn't hurt.

16:08Wow. They ultimate trolling trial. That is quite the trolling. First of all, you just, you got to not handle these situations. If as a cop you leaned into it, it had gone away and people thought you're a good sport, and then that's it. Right. The whole my life has been ruined because people think I'm a fat guy who eats cake. He's not going to work. Ruin, I say. But from the other side of it, though, so if the cops come into my house, and it's a mistake for whatever reason they got a bad tip or something like that, I get to use the video with their faces, however I want. Well, if you have a, if they have a warrant, I'm just thinking this through. I mean, obviously I'm not an attorney. Oh, there's the video. Yeah, he really is like, whoa, that's a good looking cake. Stop some deadness tracks. You got to your gun out, though. So you're at the, I might have to take a life or have my life taken stage.

17:08Yeah, look at that cake. Is that chocolate? Yes, it's pistol, his firearm pistol in his hand. And he is like, oh, wait a minute. Does this serious double take? Oh, there's a closeup of it. It broke his neck. I'm going to remove that cloche. Let me sneak my hand under the cloche briefly and grab me a little slice. That is funny. Wow. Wow. So I am intrigued by the legalities here. It was a civil suit. So he broke no laws. So it was entirely, this was out of line and hurt my feelings and made me suffer so therefore, yeah. Yeah, so there are no laws involved, per se, really. One of them flipped off his camera. Sounds like I have to take Mr. Foreman's word for it. He's wearing a pot-leaf decorated suit

18:09of multicolors in the video, Jack. And sunglasses, though he is indoors. Odd. Though he is not being blinded by the sun. Oh, my God. The cop really features in the video. Yeah. Oh, my God. Yeah, he does look like Peter Griffin. Oh, there's a caption over him. What's that? Why is he eyes the pound cake? Oh, my. Oh, that's fantastic. That's very entertaining. And people started sending the cop pound cakes. Oh, that's the problem. Hundreds of them. People sent me hundreds of pound cakes at work. Every day, you show up to work. There's 10 more. Oh, you got to be kidding. 10 more pound cakes. Give them to the poor. Sir, the poor around here getting fatter than you. You've got to stop giving the pound cakes. He's a family guy. That is whole boy.

19:11All right. Are we all now craving a slice of cake? Of course. I am. Yeah, always. Well, I guess that's it. No one knows what the future holds, but you deserve a weather app that can help.
