The lawyer suing rapper Afroman for allegedly defaming sheriff's officials in Adams County, Ohio, questioned him today about his decision to invite a news crew to accompany him to the sheriff's station after the 2022 raid on his property. Afroman, legal name Joseph Edgar Foreman, referenced powerful billionaire sex offender Jeffery Epstein's death in jail when he testified he he did so because "I didn't want to get beat up or Epsteined at the sheriff station after I seen them running around my house with AR 15s." "So that's why I brought the news and my attorney so to make sure I got out of that place with my money," Afroman testified. "You brought the news to protect you physically?" plaintiffs attorney Robert Klinger asked. "Yeah," Afroman answered. "You didn't bring the news because you already knew there was a miscount and you were going to make hay out of it?" Klinger asked. "I didn't know. I figured they stole my money. They turned my cameras off. So if you turn my cameras off, you must got something bad in mind. So, yeah, I'm accusing them of that. You know, they turn my cameras off. I can't see what they're doing," Afroman answered. "So your testimony under oath here today to these 10 jurors is that you brought the news when you picked up your money to protect you physically from being beat up or shot by the sheriffs, right?" Klinger asked. "Yes," Afroman answered. And they volunteered the information that they that the money wasn't right. That's just an extra something that we found out. But I came with my attorney and the news to make sure the people running around my house with guns didn't take me in the jail and do something," he continued.
