Afroman's defamation case win started with a police raid that found absolutely nothing. No drugs. No kidnapping victims. Just lemon pound cake on the counter. The officers filed a $4 million defamation suit against him for making music videos about it using his own security camera footage. He won. The officer featured in the video started receiving actual lemon pound cakes at his office from strangers.

That's not the part that makes this story worth paying attention to though. It's what he did with the worst moment his family had been through. He took his tools, music and humour, and turned a home raid into millions of views, a revived career, and a court win. On his own terms.

He was gonna sue the cops but then he got high. Turns out that lyric aged better than anyone expected, including probably Afroman.
