Afroman rose to fame in 2000 with the release of his breakout hit Because I Got High, which was nominated for a Grammy and features some truly iconic lyrics.

Before moving into the White House, Afroman must settle legal matters with police officers who stormed his residence and sued him for using their image in their music video.

According to TMZ, Afroman is running as an independent and has formally named his presidential committee “Joseph Afroman Foreman for President.”

Afroman followed up his promises last year with an Instagram post outlining his “eight main priorities” for the presidential campaign.

We need a candidate that is truly elected by the people, and for the people. We need a man that can step up and lead with a firm hand. The people are starved for a Commander in Chief, that leads from a place of love and not hate. In these dark times, we need a leader that truly embodies the American dream,’ Afroman campaigning manager stated as per Metro .
