(Still glad he won his case, tho).
Angriest upvote for the truth đ
tomenzggMan, libertarians are a disappointment in the most soul-crushing of waysâŚ
Speaking to AllHipHop, Afroman clarified, âIâm not supporting him. I just met him. And yes, my campaign is full effect.â He continued, âWe were both at the Libertarian National Conference trying to get nominated and get their votes and we saw each other.ââ
Context is important. This is from when Afroman ran for president.

MinnesotaGoddamnah my dudes when i was more of an asshole (Iâm not saying iâm not an asshole now, just that i used to be an economist and i wasnât even trying back then) i used to crash libertarian conventions to laugh at some of the crazies and Afroman being one of the crazies absolutely tracks. although i would have sworn heâd be more of the laugh at the crazy crowd than the crazy crowd. still, i guess you can only be in the choir so long before you start preaching.
QuentinCallaghanWhen life gives you lemons, have a lemon party.
oatscoopSometimes life gives you lemons, sometimes a woman of negotiable affection steals them when youâre not looking.
To me the word âpatriotâ used to mean someone who loves their country and fellow citizens. Would perhaps even die for them. Now when I hear that word I think of white supremacistsâ hiding behind masks, just like the old (but still here) KKK.
Does this mean we can mail pound cakes to these particular cops?
LikeâŚall of us, repeatedly, forever?
robocallHe ran for president in 2024. The world would have been better off had he won.
out of the loop? thanks
Police raided his house for no reason, found nothing, then he used footage of the raid recorded by his security cameras in several music videos.
So naturally they sued him for defamation, and recently lost their case.
_wizardWell, they found some vape pens and some grass. They also found $5k in a sport coat. With local news present and multiple clerks counting it, they could not account for the total amount.
Iâm actually surprised he had so much cash.
Iâve known a few very wealthy people even 1 millionaire (it was the most stereotypical millionaire ever he was 100% sleeping with his secretary) and they never have cash on them. Their average weekly expenses are so high that they would never want to have to carry that much money around with them.
So itâs sort of old that he had 5k just sitting in one of his pockets.
I probably should have added further context. I did watch the entire thing on YT this week after all. Heâd recently done a show with Snoop and others at Red Rock. He was paid it cash and that was the jacket he put it in.
AndyThe guy in the bottom is the rapper Afroman. Heâs most known for the song âBecause I got highâ.
He lives in Ohio. Police raided his house looking for pot (probably because they they took his song seriously, which they shouldnât have). He made a series of music videos using security footage complaining that they fucked up his house and broke shit for no reason at all, and the local police were so outraged and hurt by the public anger towards them that they sued Afroman for defamation for over a million dollars. The picture is from his court case, where a jury told them that was fucking bonkers, and agreed completely with his defense that he didnât hurt their reputation by lying: they hurt their reputation by doing terrible shit on camera to an artist who told people what they did.
One of the things they were suing Afroman for was literally invasion of privacy after they broke into his house and went through all of his stuff. They had the nerve to sue him for invasion of privacy. wtf
I suppose their arguement is that they are the official government sanctioned privacy invaders and so what they do is ok.
If they hadnât broken so much stuff and unnecessarily trashed the place they would probably have some sort of point.
I get it but itâs sad that this is what the internet knows her for. Sheâs a great singer, albeit nuts.
ScubusIâm guessing thatâs Barbara Streisand? No clue what she did, but Iâve heard sheâs a shitty person who tried to hide something so the internet blew it up?
It was her house. A photographer posted aerial photos of her house with her name and the town attached and she tried to get it taken down because she considered it a violation of her privacy.
In 2003, the American singer and actress Barbra Streisand sued the photographer, Kenneth Adelman, and Pictopia.com for US$50 million for violation of privacy.[4][5][6] The lawsuit sought to remove Image 3850, labeled as âStreisand Estate, Malibuâ, an aerial photograph in which Streisandâs mansion was visible, from the publicly available California Coastal Records Project of 12,000 California coastline photographs. As the projectâs goal was to document coastal erosion to influence government policymakers, privacy concerns of homeowners were deemed to be of minor or no importance.[7][8][9][10][11]
Hereâs the picture. I donât know why youâre making up bullshit.
They raided his house because they thought for some reason he had a bunch of kidnapping victims there
Officer Poundcake was looped in on that delicious smell from Mamaâs baking
Well, IMO, thereâs no shame in loosing your guard for a second or two when you perceive a delicious smell.
Thatâs actually the only part of the entire thing the cop shouldnât be ashamed of.
Other replies neglected to mention that after Afroman released three or so videos about the raid itself and was initially sued, he started also making tracks about each of the officers involved in the suit.
The big thing that they arenât telling you is that the patriot in the bottom of the meme is Afroman.
âI was gonna eat your pussy, too. But then I got high.â
True patriot. American hero. Stoner. Heâs got my vote.

Regarding Trump, Afroman told Newsweek in 2024 that he wanted to perform a Hunter Bidenâthemed parody of his hit song âBecause I Got High,â with lyrics altered to mock the former presidentâs sonâs drug use and legal controversies, at Trump rallies in the lead-up to the presidential election.
And one of Afromanâs music videos in response to the raid targets Deputy Lisa Phillips, the same officer whom Afroman acknowledged was visibly upset during her deposition, is blatantly homophobic, transphobic, and misogynistic. The nearly 14-minute video, titled âLiccâem Low Lisa,â features lyrics like âI noticed her voice is a few octaves lowerâ and âShe might whoop out somethinâ, somethinâ thatâs bigger than mine.â During the latter bar, the music video shows an actor portraying Phillips sitting down and holding what appears to be a large pipe.
I donât think being a Trump supporter and being a patriot are compatible
And cuck a cop.
Making Ohio proud, the state is fucked but at least we have Afroman.
Your state is fucked because of people like afroman.
Hey thatâs officer Lemon Poundcake to you bub.
