Afroman To Be Charged With Murder After Assaulted Fan Dies
Singer-songwriter Joseph Foreman aka Afroman, best known for his 2001 hit âBecause I Got Highâ, is reportedly to be charged with the murder of Pink Platino. The girl died daysÂ after being knocked unconscious by a roundhouse punch that was, actually, pretty darn impressive for a forty-year-old stoner. Although Platino was initially thought to be uninjured, the sheer humiliation of the event, combined with internal bleeding in her brain, caused an unexpectedÂ hemorrhage.âThereâs a bunch of things that she knew sheâd never live down,â said Mauve Platino, Pinkâs sister. âFirstly, she was at a damnÂ Afroman gig, a guy who had one hit that only stoners knew existed. The entire family cringed when we heard that she was there. Secondly, she was getting sexy with Afroman on stage, and someone caught that shit on film. Thirdly, a hit from Afroman was enough to send her to the ground. Jesus, Iâm embarrassed to be related to her.âPinkâs friends, however, came to her defense. âPink was just a chiller,â said friend Matt âMatty-boyâ Jacbos. âShe was just chillinâ up there. Why canât anyone just chill these days without getting smashed in the face?âLawyer John McDougal, who will represent the Platino family, was bullish about their chances at getting justice.âItâs all on video,â he told media outlet TMZ. âHe definitely canât say âIt Wasnât Me,â this time.âWhen it was pointed out to McDougal that he was referring to a Shaggy song, the lawyer mumbled something about having lots of black stoner friends, and refused to comment further.Afroman came out in his own defense, saying that it only happened because it was an early afternoon show, and he had not had a chance to take his âmedicationâ yet.Legal expert, Ziggy Fernandez, played down the chances that the singer would end up in prison.âSeriously, no jury is going to take pity on the type of girl who attended AfromanÂ concerts,â Fernandez said. âI think pretty much everyone agrees that if you go to an Afroman concert, you deserve to be knocked unconscious. If you die, well, you know, thatâs just the way shit falls sometimes.âÂ
