Grammy-nominated rapper Afroman has successfully defended himself against a defamation lawsuit brought by seven Ohio sheriff’s deputies. The officers had sued him over music videos that utilised home security footage to satirise their raid on his property.
Following the Wednesday evening verdict, the 51-year-old rapper, whose real name is Joseph Foreman, was jubilant outside the courthouse. "We did it, America! Yeah, we did it! Freedom of speech! Right on! Right on!" he exclaimed, later sharing the clip on social media.
