The law enforcement officials who raided the Ohio home of Afroman during a raid last year are suing the rapper after he used footage from the police search in music videos and on social media. A copy of the complaint, obtained by VICE News, claims that the seven Adams County Sheriff’s officers suffered “emotional distress” from Afroman’s use of the footage. The officers are seeking $25,000 per four counts in damages in addition to stopping Afroman, whose real name is Joseph Edgar Foreman, his record label, and three unnamed individuals from continuing to use footage with their images.
