(Photo by Rick Kern/WireImage) WINCHESTER, Ohio (AP) - Seven law enforcement officers have sued rap artist Afroman, accusing him of improperly using footage from a police raid on his Ohio home last year in his music videos.Four deputies, two sergeants and a detective with the Adams County Sheriff’s Office brought the suit earlier this month, claiming invasion of privacy.

Other law enforcement officers who were involved in the raid are not named as plaintiffs.The plaintiffs say the rapper, whose real name is Joseph Foreman, took footage of their faces obtained during the August 2022 raid and used it in music videos and social media posts without their consent.

They say that has caused them "emotional distress, embarrassment, ridicule, loss of reputation and humiliation."The plaintiffs are seeking all of Foreman’s profits from his use of their personas.

That includes proceeds from the songs, music videos and live event tickets, as well as the promotion of Foreman’s Afroman brand, under which he sells beer, marijuana, T-shirts and other merchandise.
