Afroman declared his plans to campaign for the White House during his concert performance last year in December.
He announced to the Missouri crowd, ‘Can I make the biggest announcement I ever made in my life? I’m running for president in 20-20-fro! We’re gonna get legal weed everywhere.’
Furthermore, shortly after his bold announcement, Afroman took to his official Instagram handle to share a post detailing his ‘eight main priorities’ for the presidential campaign.
Meanwhile, Afroman’s campaign manager, Jason Savage took to his Instagram to share his views on the surprising announcement.
He said, ‘We need a candidate that is truly elected by the people and for the people.’
He continued, ‘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.’
Savage added, ‘There comes a time in the course of human events when change must be affected.’
Subsequently, he mentioned, ‘That time is now. Americans are suffering, and the status quo is no longer acceptable.’
If you didn’t know, Afroman rose to fame in 2000 when he released his dozy breakout hit Because I Got High. It ended up bagging nominations for a Grammy award and features some of the truly iconic lyrics.
