Last summer, a local judge issued a search warrant claiming probable cause to search Foreman&#8217;s home for evidence of drug possession, trafficking, and kidnapping. An armed SWAT team kicked down Foreman&#8217;s door and rifled through all his belongings, but only found a vape pen and a couple joints.<\/p>\n<p>Afroman recorded the raid on his home security system, and later used the video in several social media posts. He also used the footage in music videos for his recent songs \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=9xxK5yyecRo\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><u>Lemon Pound Cake<\/u><\/a>\u201d and \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=oponIfu5L3Y\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><u>Will You Help Me Repair My Door<\/u><\/a>,\u201d which both directly reference the raid. In the lawsuit, the cops are alleging that Foreman clearly shows their faces in the video without their consent, causing them \u201cemotional distress, embarrassment, ridicule, loss of reputation and humiliation,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fox19.com\/2023\/03\/22\/afroman-sued-by-law-enforcment-officers-who-raided-his-home\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><u><em>FOX19<\/em><\/u><u> reports<\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Including a person in a music video without their consent is a misdemeanor offense in Ohio. In his defense, Foreman is alleging that the cops lost their right to privacy because they stole money from him during the raid. In addition to the inconsequential amount of weed they found, cops also seized <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fox19.com\/2022\/08\/31\/famed-artist-afroman-weighing-legal-action-after-armed-raid-greater-cincinnati-home\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><u>$4,000 in cash<\/u><\/a> from Foreman&#8217;s house.

The cops aren&#8217;t willing to stop with this standard cease and desist order, though. The suit alleges that Afroman has directly profited from unauthorized use of the footage and demands that he give the cops a cut of his profits. Specifically, cops are demanding proceeds from his songs, music videos, and live shows. And on top of that, cops also want a cut of Foreman&#8217;s Afroman brands, which include beer, merch \u2013 and weed.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"640\" height=\"430\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/merryjane.com\/embed\/gallery\/bugs-that-look-like-weed-but-shouldnt-be-smoked\/1\" ><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>It may be hard to successfully argue that the cops themselves were directly responsible for the success of these new videos.
