INFORMATION ABOUT AFROMAN (with information about the police raid that is the subject of Afroman's 2022 "Lemon Pound Cake" song and some other songs)
From https://genius.com/artists/Afroman
"Joseph Edgar Foreman (born July 28, 1974), known
professionally as Afroman, began writing songs and handing them out to his
friends on cassette while in the eighth grade. At 25 years old, he released his
first album, 1999’s Sell Your Dope. Soon after, he moved from LA to Mississippi
with the mission to ‘get away from competition and sell to actual people’,
releasing his sophomore album Because I Got High in 2000 on T-Bones Records.
Its title track, written hastily after a friend showed up and interrupted him
on an ambitious day and insisted they instead get high, was the last song he
had recorded for it. Soon after releasing one more album later that year,
Afroman left the music business.
At the same time, the file-sharing software Napster – heavily used at the time to share and distribute music for free – was at its peak of popularity, and the album’s title track became popular with its users. Universal Records caught wind and signed Afroman to a six album deal and released it as a single on July 6, 2001.
“Because I Got High” immediately became one of the most-requested songs across the nation, growing even larger after syndicated morning radio show host Howard Stern began airing it regularly, helping to make it ‘the most requested song on the radio in the country’. Further boosting its popularity was its inclusion in the film (and soundtrack to) Jay And Silent Bob Strike Back and MTV’s eventual agreement to air a modified, less-controversial music video for the song. It peaked at #13 in the US, and topped the charts in ten countries overseas. Its album The Good Times reached #10 in the US.
Afroman performed across the US with Cypress Hill, Busta Rhymes, Method Man and Redman in September and October on the appropriately-titled Smoke Out Tour. The album’s second single “Crazy Rap” reached the top 40 in five countries in early 2002, but failed to make an impact in the US.
[…]
In 2022, while he was away from home, a drug raid by Ohio police made the news after officers broke down the door with guns drawn and rummaged through his belongings:
'They didn’t have to run up my driveway with AR-15’s and all kinds of assault weapons. I would have gladly just given (the trace amounts of weed, a vape pen and a jar of CBD they found) to them.'
Afroman would then speak about the experience, criticizing
the officers for the raid and for damaging his property. In response to the
raid, Afroman recorded songs such as “Will You Help Me Repair My Door,” “Lemon
Pound Cake,” and “Why You Disconnecting My Video Camera,” all of which would
earn their own music videos involving footage of the raid. He would even go as
far as to releasing the album Lemon Pound Cake on January 9, 2023. This would
result in a lawsuit from several Adams County officers in March 2023. After
three years, on March 18, 2026, a jury returned a full verdict in favor of
Afroman, clearing him from any civil damages against the officers."

Pancocojams Editor's summary of that episode:
This episode of Roland Martin Unfiltered focuses on Afroman's successful case against the police officers who raided his house with a warrant accusing him of drg trafficking and kidnapping, but dropped all of those charges. Those same police officers later sued Afroman for defamation when he recorded songs and videos about that raid.

LYRICS- LEMON POUND CAKE
(writer-Afroman)
The Adams County Sheriff kicked on my door
Then I heard the glass break
They found no kidnapping victims
Just some Lemon Pound Cake
Mamma's Lemon Pound Cake
It tastes so nice
It made the Sheriff wanna put down his gun
And cut him a slice
(Of what? Of what?)
Lemon Pound Cake
He wanna put down his glock

He's a family guy
Lemon Pound Cake
Got the munchies because he got high
Lemon Pound Cake, Pound Cake
He's a Adams County Sheriff
He's hungry and he's big as hell (hmmm)
He was sniffing for weed
Then he smelled another smell (what was that?)
Mamma's Lemon Pound Cake
It tastes so nice
