Rapper Afroman, better known as Joseph Foreman, finally took the stand on Tuesday, 17 March, to face a lawsuit filed against him by Adams County Sheriff's deputies. Four deputies, two sergeants and a detective from the sheriff's office filed the suit, stressing that a controversial music video invaded their constitutional privacy.

However, the 51-year-old hit back on Tuesday, claiming he was just exercising his right to freedom of speech as an American, according to a report by WCPO-TV. He also lashed back at the complainants, pointing out that had there been no wrongful raid, there would not be a lawsuit.
