Afroman Prevails

[He’s a sport for doing what he did.]
Four years ago, Ohio’s Adams County Sheriff’s Office kicked rapper Afroman’s door, on seemingly-bogus suspicion of drug trafficking and kidnapping. They damaged his property, frightened his family, and possibly stole $400 from him, all while finding no evidence of crime. After all that, when Afroman decided to make lemonade (or at least Lemon Pound Cake) out of those lemons, they sued him for defamation.

On Wednesday, after a brief trial that blew up on the internet, Afroman emerged victorious. Meanwhile, the plaintiffs most definitely lost to the Streisand effect.
