On social media, clips from the trial were widely shared, with many rooting for Afroman and excited by his win.
However, some critics took the moment to point out that Afroman had used the popularity of hits like “Lemon Pound Cake” to support Donald Trump. A photo of Afroman wearing that same American flag suit and shaking hands with Trump in 2024 began recirculating online, which some claimed served as a “milkshake duck” rapidly tanking his online popularity on the back of his win.
Back in 2024, Afroman told AllHipHop that he met Trump while the rapper’s own presidential campaign was in “full effect,” denying that he was a Trump supporter. Instead, he claimed that his only interest in meeting with Trump was to discuss marijuana reform and “ending police immunity.”
The pair also commiserated about “witch hunts” and “laughed about” them both “getting raided,” Afroman said in an Instagram post attempting to clarify what was happening in the photo.
However, in the same post, Afroman seemed excited that Trump liked his song “Hunter Got High,” which is a version of “Because I Got High” mocking Hunter Biden. And critics resurfacing the photo noted that the rapper told Newsweek that he hoped to perform the Hunter Biden song at Trump rallies as part of a comeback bid.
