Background

edit

In August 2022, the Adams County, Ohio Sheriff's Department raided Foreman's home on suspicion of drug trafficking and kidnapping, which turned out to be false. Foreman criticized the police for causing $20,000 in damages to his home and for a missing $400 from $5,000 that they had seized.[2][3] The album mocks the officers involved in the raid in songs such as the titular track (a parody of The Drifters' "Under the Boardwalk") and "Will You Help Me Repair My Door", the music videos of which garnered 6 and 12 million views respectively on YouTube.[4][5] The album led to a defamation suit against Foreman by the officers involved in the raid. Foreman won the defamation case in March 2026, successfully arguing that the videos constituted protected speech rather than actionable defamation.[6][7]
