Rapper announces 2024 White House bid
Grammy-nominated rap artist Afroman talks about highlights from his career in hip-hop and why he is running for president.
Afroman reprised his 2000 hit song, "Because I Got High," with a new version making fun of Hunter Biden.
The original version has Afroman singing from the perspective of a hapless stoner who blames lost opportunities and his current plight on his penchant for smoking pot. Baste Records posted on X on Friday about the reboot, "Hunter Got High," sharing a link to the full video on YouTube.
"Hey Hunter! Roll another one of those congressional blunts, brother," the video starts as Afroman and an actor portraying Hunter Biden pull up while smoking in the back of a black SUV.
"He was going to get his laptop fixed, but Hunter got high," Afroman sings.

"He should have let Hillary bleach the whole hard drive. But Hunter got high, Hunter got high, Hunter got high," he sings along with the actor portraying Hunter and a white-haired man in a mask portraying President Biden.
Beyond the Hunter Biden laptop, Afroman's new song also takes jabs at alleged influence peddling by the Biden family as well as the Secret Service confirming that cocaine was found at the White House last summer and subsequently closing that probe without naming a culprit.
"He thought he had a secret stash, but Hunter got high. The White House got shut down, and we all know why. Hunter got high, Hunter got high, Hunter got high," the song says.

Afroman also mocks Hunter Biden's art career, which has come under fire by House Republicans- by raising conflict of interest concerns between wealthy buyers and the White House.

The song continues, "Biden never use to start with B-U-Y. Till Hunter got high, Hunter got high, Hunter got high."
"Ukraine wasn’t part of the plan, till Hunter got high China wasn’t that big a fan, till Hunter got high. He wasn’t going to split it all with the old big guy. But Hunter got high, Hunter got high, Hunter got high," he says.
