The rapper Afroman, famous for his 2000 hit “Because I Got High”, will be speaking at the Bitcoin 2026 conference next month in Las Vegas. The artist, whose given name is Joseph Foreman, is coming off what some are calling the ‘Lemon Pound Cake’ trial victory, in which an Ohio jury ruled earlier this month that he did not defame sheriff’s deputies who invaded his home in 2022.
The artist went viral this month after prevailing in a legal ordeal that began four years ago when authorities raided his home to search for evidence for drug trafficking and kidnapping, but failed to find any. Afroman then released a song about the raid, with a music video including footage of the officers tearing apart his home and inspecting a lemon pound cake that was in his kitchen. Crypto boosters hailed his legal victory, identifying with the notion of feeling violated by government entities.
