However, some critics took the moment to point out that Afroman had used the popularity of hits like “Lemon Pound Cake” to support Donald Trump. A photo of Afroman wearing that same American flag suit and shaking hands with Trump in 2024 began recirculating online, which some claimed served as a “milkshake duck” rapidly tanking his online popularity on the back of his win.
Well shit
Fuck you, Afroman.
While he was hoping through his shit with corrupt Ohio police, hunter Biden was getting presidential pardons and national exoneration in the news.
Not to hard to imagine why he would want to photo-op with the president who pardoned rappers from worse crimes. He's gone on record saying her doesn't support the trump administration.
Yes. But he rightfully won against this lawsuit.
ffs
Fuck I don't know which side to pick now.
His win is still a win for the people. I won’t support his music, but I’ll take the win against the cops.
We be glad be beat the cop case and still condemn his trump support. Everything doesn't have to be black and white. We can be happy he's trolling cops without supporting his political views.
Thanks for the reminder.
Two things can be at the same time. Good for winning against some stupid cops, but also supporting a incoherent moron is also stupid.
They met once, and Afroman had said repeatedly that he doesn't support the Trump administration.
Stop spreading misinformative hearsay.
The pair also commiserated about “witch hunts” and “laughed about” them both “getting raided,” Afroman said in an Instagram post attempting to clarify what was happening in the photo.
However, in the same post, Afroman seemed excited that Trump liked his song “Hunter Got High,” which is a version of “Because I Got High” mocking Hunter Biden. And critics resurfacing the photo noted that the rapper told Newsweekthat he hoped to perform the Hunter Biden song at Trump rallies as part of a comeback bid.
“I might really be back,” Afroman said. “This one might take me to the stratosphere. I might be singing it at some Trump rallies.”
It helps to rtfa
He also tried to run for president himself in 2024. He's an entertainer, trying to draw a crowd. Perhaps he was implying 'yeah I'll take MAGAs money, it's still money,' or similar. He's only credible for capitalizing on any given situation. All of it was promotion, and if you're thinking, "he should have stood up while he could," the white house would have covered it up anyway. So you fucking figure it out.
I did. Trump’s appeal with young black men is not small. It’s considerable.
Anyone know of a link to Liccem Low Lisa video that doesn't require an account to watch? YouTube has is blurred out.
Also, this is the funniest shit that's happened this whole decade.
“I don’t go to their house, kick down their doors, flip them off on their surveillance cameras, then try to play the victim and sue them.”
Damn fuckin right
That line was likely one of the biggest points on the jurors minds, and the reason it went the way it did.
The trial is one of the funniest things I've seen in a hot minute. So many ridiculous moments
Watching the cops listen to their personal diss tracks in full in court is fucking hilarious
ELI5, why is he allowed to use the "under the boardwalk" melody, not give credit, and not get sued? Is it past its copywrite date or did he pay for the rights or something?
It's a parody. Parodies are allowed.
Weird Al's career was built on this. He asked the original artists for permission, but that was out of respect, not because he had to.
Well, takes a moron to back a moron.
Well played.
Lmao
