A defiant rapper testified on Tuesday that he exercised free speech when he released music videos featuring images of Ohio deputies raiding his home, saying any suffering they claim in a lawsuit is due to “their mistake.”

Several Adams County sheriff’s deputies are suing Afroman, claiming they were needlessly harmed by music videos, most notably “Lemon Pound Cake,” which included security camera footage taken in 2022 when they served a search warrant looking for drugs at the performer’s home.

None were found and charges were never filed against the “Because I Got High” rapper, who was born Joseph Foreman.

Afroman took the witness stand wearing an American flag-patterned suit and said his actions are protected under the First Amendment.

“I got freedom of speech,” he told jurors. “After they run around my house with guns, kicked down my door, I got the right to kick a can in my backyard, use my freedom of speech, turn my bad times into a good time.”

“Yes I do, and I think I’m a sport for doing so because 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,” he said.

The rapper said any hardships suffered by the deputies should be pinned on law enforcement.

“(This is all of) their fault for coming in my house in the first place,” the 51-year-old artist testified.

“So if they hadn’t come in my house, their children wouldn’t be saying nothing. None of this would be going on if they had did their research and did things right. So all of this is their fault, and now they want to sue me for their mistake.”

Asked if there’s anything that could “change your mind” about his creative actions, an indignant Afroman put it all back on law enforcement.

“Is there anything that can change my mind about the fact that they shouldn’t have been at my house in the first place?” Afroman rhetorically said.

“Is there anything that can change my mind about how my money shouldn’t have been touched in the first place? No.”

An Ohio Ford employee is dead after being trapped and crushed by a malfunctioning industrial machine at a company plant this week. 

The incident unfolded around 9:45 a.m. on Monday, when authorities were called to Ford’s Sharonville plant on E. Sharon Road regarding reports of an industrial accident, according to FOX 19.

Upon arriving at the plant, authorities reportedly encountered a press machine that was undergoing routine maintenance when it malfunctioned, causing it to turn on and pin the worker. 

First responders worked to perform life-saving measures on the worker once he was pulled from the machine before transporting him to Bethesda North Hospital.

The worker was later pronounced dead at the hospital, according to FOX 19.

The Hamilton County Coroner’s Office reportedly identified the victim as 61-year-old Gregory Knopf. 

“There were multiple witnesses to this incident and it is considered an industrial accident at this time,” Sharonville police said, according to FOX 19. 

The incident reportedly remains under investigation by the Hamilton County Coroner’s Office, Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and Ford Motor Company’s administrative staff.

“A tragic incident today resulted in the death of an employee at Sharonville Transmission Plant,” a Ford spokesperson said in a statement to WCPO. 

“We are in contact with the family of the individual and we’re working to support them through this difficult time. Our deepest condolences are with the friends and family of our team member. Counseling services are available for our employees at the plant. Safety is our highest priority and we are investigating the incident. We would also like to thank our community first responders.”

Ford Motor Company and the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment. 

A suspected meteor and white streaks in the skies were spotted over Pennsylvania and Ohio on Tuesday morning. The National Weather Service and Nasa both confirmed a fireball fell in Northeast Ohio near Cleveland.

“We’re receiving reports across western Pennsylvania and eastern Ohio of a loud boom and a fireball in the sky. Our satellite data suggest it was possibly a meteor entering the atmosphere,” the NWS posted online.

The fireball broke the sound barrier and caused a kaboom as it landed.
