Afroman’s Ohio home is being searched by local law enforcement

Afroman recently announced that his home in Ohio was searched by the Adams County Sheriff’s Office on Aug. 21. Although he was in Chicago at the time of the raid, his neighbors told him what was going on.

He also shared several security videos on Instagram showing police searching various areas of the home. “This is supposed to be a drug and narcotics search warrant. I had to pay a maximum amount of money to technical people to install my camera system. There are no drugs or guns on my computer screen. These are burglars, gangsters who break into the homes of law-abiding, tax-paying citizens and destroy property,” he wrote on Aug. 29. “I had to pay cameramen thousands of dollars to install my camera system on my door spreading monkey pox in my clothes and tearing my camera systems up so no one sees these thieves dressed as law enforcement officers steal my money just like.” the cops in Saint Charles, Missouri.”

Afroman’s social media posts grew in popularity. On Aug. 30, Afroman said he thanked “Police Officer Poundcake” for helping him gain 13,000 followers on TikTok. As of September 2nd, the TikTok post has 4.7 million views.

According to a TMZ Live interview with Afroman, law enforcement didn’t find what they were looking for. “They took about a couple of cockroaches and a vape pen and a jar of CBD. I think they thought I had hundreds and thousands of pounds or something,” he said. “They didn’t have to run into my driveway with AR-15s and all kinds of offensive weapons. I would have gladly given them that.” Afroman also mentioned that he has footage of police officers pulling cash from the pocket of his clothes.

“They said they want me to come down and make a statement. I need a lawyer, I don’t know why they came like this,” he said.

TMZ also asked Afroman about a previous break-in that also happened in the past. He said it took three days for police to visit his home and write a report on the incident. He continued to follow up the report with the local police station. “I’ve been following the progress of the case and I guess the consistency of my calls irritated her. They told me, ‘If you keep calling, it will be addressed.’ I got in a weird mood, so I relapsed, you know.”

The interviewers asked him to elaborate on the “funny mood” and whether that statement felt like a threat. “You know, a cop speaks politically correct…” Afroman began, but said he felt the police station told him not to call anymore.

On September 1, a local news station covering the incident claimed that the search warrant listed “drug possession, drug dealing and kidnapping.” “No kidnapping victims, not a kilo of marijuana (especially in my suit pockets) or narcotics. No fees. No warrant out for my arrest,” Afroman wrote. Just some cockroaches in my ashtray destroying my property on camera, stealing my money like the cops in Saint Charles, Missouri, and turning my cameras off so no one can see them stealing my money.

Ohio legalized medicinal cannabis in 2016, but recreational cannabis is not allowed. Although an initiative to legalize voting was in the works, it was delayed until the 2023 election.
