Afroman might be known for his classic stoner anthems. However, dope raps aren't the only thing on his resume. Now he's added politics, as he sets to blaze a new trail, the campaign trail. While it might seem farfetched, Afroman has set his plan in motion. According to documents obtained by TMZ, he officially turned in the necessary documents to run for our nation's highest elected position. Afroman didn't get high and forget to turn in his documents.
Reportedly, he turned in all the necessary documents on April 18, just in time for 4/20. Since filing the paperwork, Afroman's presidential committee is named, "Joseph Afroman Foreman for President." Although we all thought he would be running for the green party, Afroman is running as an Independent. The "Because I Got High" rapper announced his presidential run back in December 2022 during a concert in Missouri. While we're already thinking about the 2024 election, Afroman has dubbed it the "20-20-FRO" election.
Afroman's Blazin' Up The Polls
While it may be no secret, Afroman's campaign platform will focus (unsurprisingly) on the national legalization of marijuana. However, it's still unclear where he stands on international and domestic issues. Since filing the official presidential candidacy paperwork two days shy of 4/20, it's clear Afroman is more than serious about his election run. The "Colt .45" rapper has his priorities straight and is making an honest attempt to run for president by officially throwing his name in the hat. While some might see him as a one-hit wonder looking to get a few clicks, he's clearly put the work in.
Although it remains a mystery as to what his overall campaign strategy is. It's nice to see someone running with a few new ideas on how they can help better the country. Afroman isn't the first celebrity to take a swing at politics, especially running for the nation's highest office. However, he is the first to make his bid official for the 2024 election. It remains to be seen if any other celebs will throw their name in the running. Though Ye did mention running again in 2024, it's safe to say we probably won't see his name on the ballot.
