“What’s going on at Afroman right now?” we asked a few weeks ago. The answer was: everything. Because Mr. “Because I Got High” (I bet you remember his 2000 epic hit) was about to be sued by law enforcement in his home state of Ohio. And Afroman – real name Joseph Foreman – then in turn sued his accusers.
The reason: The local sheriff’s office had raided Foreman’s home, which turned up no solid leads for suspicion of “drug trafficking and kidnapping.” No charges were filed either.
However, Afroman then released the song “Will You Help Me Repair My Door”. The accompanying music video used footage from the security cameras raid on his home and his wife’s cell phone:
The accompanying music videos used footage from the security cameras at his home and from his wife’s cell phone. And that’s why seven police officers involved in the raid had sued Foreman for invasion of their privacy. Foreman’s use of her likeness in videos and social media posts led to “emotional distress, embarrassment, ridicule, loss of reputation and humiliation” – mental distress, embarrassment, ridicule, reputational damage and humiliation.
Uff. So something is going on. But the story is far from over. After Afroman initially threatened to sue him, he now goes one step further: He is a candidate for the next US presidential election in 2024.
… writes Foreman’s campaign manager Jason Savage in his opening statement on afromanforpresident.com, …
We need a candidate who is truly elected by the people and for the people. We need a man who can step forward and lead with a steady hand. People long for a commander-in-chief who leads from a sense of love, not hatred. In these dark times, we need a leader who truly embodies the American Dream.
It is my great honor and pleasure to officially announce Afroman as an independent candidate for President of the United States of America.”
African counts «8 Priorities» as political priorities. First of all… well, guess what?
1. Decriminalizing cannabis: “The federal government classifies cannabis as a category 1 narcotic, which means that the government classifies cannabis as a drug that has no medicinal value whatsoever. Afroman will make destigmatizing and decriminalizing cannabis a top priority.”
To achieve this, Afroman strives as 2. Focus An criminal justice reform announced the immediate release of all 40,000 people imprisoned in the United States for cannabis offenses. In addition, one must Police Reform (“Priority No. 3”) be enforced, which provides, among other things, for a mandatory bodycam for police officers.
Moreover, an Afroman presidency would, too Suspension of all foreign aid (“No. 4”) involve. That, and the shutdown of cannabis law enforcement, would reportedly save $61.9 billion. These would like Reparations («5») distributed directly to families adversely affected by the effects of slavery.
Afroman also mentions key points «Unity, love and peace» («6»)the Legalization of prostitution («8») And «more sports celebrations» («7»). With the latter we specifically mean football players “may perform a victory dance in the end zone” or an NBA player may hold on to the edge of the basket for “at least 10 seconds”.
