A jury ruled in favor of rapper Afroman on all counts after Adams County deputies sued him over a music video he made using security footage from a 2022 raid on his home, court records show.
The jury ruled in favor of the musician in all 13 counts, which included both defamation and false light claims from the deputies involved, according to documents filed in the Adams County Common Pleas Court.
In August 2022, Adams County deputies raided the home of Afroman, the stage name of Joseph Foreman, with a search warrant tied to an investigation into possible drugs and kidnapping victims. No charges were filed after the raid.
Deputies seized thousands of dollars in cash, which was later returned, but Afroman said about $400 was never recovered.
Afroman said the raid left damage throughout his home, and that the Adams County Sheriff’s Office told him it was not responsible for paying for repairs.
