Afroman‘s weekend was capped off by a lot of police activity — his house was raided by law enforcement … who were apparently on a drug hunt, and came in guns drawn.
The rapper — who’s originally from Palmdale, CA — tells TMZ … the Adams County Sheriff’s Dept. burst into his property Sunday with their weapons drawn and orders being shouted. We’re told they were in search of narcotics … but in the end, came up empty-handed.
Afroman says he’s not sure why they thought he was stashing illicit substances … because all he had on hand, he insists, was a jar of hemp and a vape pen … nothing else.
Afroman says he wasn’t home at the time — he was in Chicago — he was notified by his neighbors, who got video and photos of the raid. Afroman tells us the believes this attempted bust is complete BS … suggesting he was profiled over his music.
As you may know … Afroman has a long history of rapping about weed and other misadventures. It’s weird though — his most famous songs are from back in the day, so if this music theory holds up … it doesn’t quite explain why cops thought something was amiss.
We’ve tried reaching out to the Sheriff’s Dept. multiple times this morning to get an explanation on what exactly led to this and what they say they found, if anything. So far they haven’t responded.
Afroman himself is outraged … he took to IG to offer a bit more context on why this may have happened. According to him, it could have to do with him checking on a police report regarding a burglary at his home — something ACSD apparently wasn’t pleased with.
He writes, “One time my house got burglarize while I was on tour. For home insurance purposes I tried to fill out a police report. The cop came out three days later he told me they was really busy. He took my report. I would call every day and see if there was any progress being made. The Adams county sheriff department threaten to arrest me for checc-ing up on the case too frequently.”
“I excepted the fact that the police department is not necessary here to protect and serve me a blacc man in America so I just took my loss and never called bacc. Now here they are kicc-ing in my door looking for weapons of mass destruction and 100,000,000 pounds of weed lol wow Donald Trump calls these investigations witchhunts.”
