    for everyone in this thread defending Afroman, saying that one picture with Trump was just a photo-op during his presidential run and doesn’t reflect his values, I’d urge you to read this article about a song he really wanted to sing at Trump rallies.

    Afroman Explains His New Song: Hunter Got High

    I think the takeaway here is that while he may not be a full blown facist, he’s willing to align with them to make a buck, which is kinda the main issue with the US gov right now.

      Oh come on. There’s literally a joke quote in the article that he’ll rev share the song if Hunter Biden wanted to sue Afroman for defamation.

      The insinuation that Afroman is even partially a fascist who wants to control other people’s behavior is ridiculous. Stop fucking up a good thing with this nonsense.

        as I said, while he may not be a facist, he’s okay with accepting their money, which is also bad.

        it’s also telling that he said he’s willing to “poke fun at both sides” but has, to my knowledge, yet to release anything poking fun at the alt right.

        complicity isn’t compliance, but it sure is a bad look and a good reason not to support this nonsense.
