“On March 18th, an Ohio jury sided with rapper Joseph Foreman, better known by his stagename Afroman, in a civil tort case. Afroman, known for his over-the-top comedic style and the hit track ‘Crazy Rap,’ was in court this past week after sheriff’s deputies sued him for criticizing and making fun of them in several music videos and in interviews. In an important symbolic victory for freedom of expression, Afroman won the lawsuit. Had the government prevailed, it would have signaled that documenting government conduct and criticizing police could come at a steep price.” (03/20/26)
