Afroman files appeal in Defamation case
As you likely know, this Spring, Afroman successfully defended himself in a defamation case brought against him by members of the Adams County, Ohio Sheriff's department. In that matter, members of the Sheriff;s department sued Afroman for making fun of them after they raided his house with a warrant related to drugs and kidnapping, but failed to find any evidence of any crime. They then confiscated money from Afroman's house, which was later returned to him- However, the money returned was less than the amount stated on the sheriff seizure in-take sheet. Afroman released numerous songs making fun of the sheriff deputies including "Lemon pound cake," "Randy waltes is a son of a bitch," and "Licc em low, Lisa." After a riotous trial, which bizarrely included Walters testifying that he couldn't actually deny that Afroman had slept with Walters' wife, Afroman won. However, at trial, the judge dismissed Afroman's claims' against the deputies, and also split court costs between the parties. Afroman has announced that he is filing an appeal to those matters. Ther appeals process is a slow moving procedure, so there likely will not be an update to this matter for at least a year. We will keep you updated.
