Afroman faces legal action over use of home raid footage in music videos.

Police officers who conducted a botched armed raid of rapper Afroman’s home last year have filed a lawsuit against him for invasion of privacy and emotional distress after he used footage of it in his music videos. The officers allege that Afroman and his record label used their personas for commercial purposes. Afroman used footage recorded by his wife and house cameras as part of several music videos which were released online. The police officers claim that they have been subject to ridicule by the public and have suffered humiliation, ridicule, mental distress, embarrassment, and loss of reputation. Each officer is seeking damages of $25,000 per four counts.
