Summary
Afroman, the rapper famous for “Because I Got High,” is suing a former sheriff’s deputy over a 2022 home raid that sparked a wild legal back-and-forth. The deputy, Brian Newland, originally sued Afroman for defamation and privacy invasion after he used raid footage in music videos — a claim Afroman’s jury already rejected. Now Afroman counters that Newland’s lawsuit cost him tens of thousands in legal fees, calling it a “birthday present” on social media. The deputy, now with a different police department, hasn’t responded yet. Afroman argues his use of the footage was protected speech — turning the tables on the very claims once leveled against him.
