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.
At the time of publishing, the video of the song, released by Baste Records, had racked up over 800,000 views on YouTube and had reached number three on the iTunes video chart.
“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.

Shout out to Baste Records …
Hey Hunter! Roll another one of those congressional blunts brotha …
He was gonna get his laptop fixed, but Hunter got high
He wasn’t gonna show all them d**k pics, but Hunter got high
He shoulda let Hillary bleach his whole hard drive
Hunter got high, Hunter got high, Hunter got highHe wasn’t gonna mess with the hoes, but Hunter got high
He was gonna take em all out on a boat, but Hunter got high
He’s the smartest man that Joe’s ever knew in his life
Till Hunter got high, Hunter got high, Hunter got highHe was gonna go visit his dad, but Hunter got high
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 HighHe never could paint worth a f**k, Hunter got high
Now he gets, a half a mill and up, damn that’s high
Biden never use to start with B-U-Y
Till Hunter got high, Hunter got high, Hunter got highUkraine wasn’t part of the plan, till Hunter got high
China wasn’t that big of a fan, till Hunter got high
He wasn’t gonna split it all, with the old big guy
Till Hunter got high, till Hunter got high, Hunter got highHe wasn’t gonna go to court, but Hunter got high
He’d never been indicted before, but Hunter got high
His attorney’s out smokin a bowl, and we all know why
Cause Hunter got high, Hunter got high, Hunter got highHe was making 80G’s a month, but Hunter got high
On a job brotha ain’t never done, Hunter got high
He got more LLC’s than John Gotti’s ex-wife
Hunter got high, Hunter got high, Hunter got highHis cousin was never a pimp, till Hunter got high
He had the best friends money could rent, but Hunter got high
Just imagine if he wasn’t rich, and so damn white
The cops would raid his house, eat his lemon pound cake, disconnect his cameras and steal his money.
The rapper released a music video for the parody song on Friday with Baste Records, which describes itself as a ‘harbinger of the counter culture to cancel culture.’
The video begins with Afroman sitting alongside two actors depicting president Joe Biden and his troubled son.
The song continues, mocking Hunter’s infamous lost laptop fiasco: ‘He was gonna get his laptop fixed, but Hunter got high.
He also has a catchy slogan for the 2024 election, calling it ’20-20-FRO election’ according to the publication.
His bid comes after he has been accused of improperly using footage from a police raid on his Ohio home last year in his music videos by seven enforcement officers.
Four deputies, two sergeants and a detective with the Adams County Sheriff’s Office filed the lawsuit earlier in March, in Winchester, Ohio, claiming invasion of privacy. Other cops, who were involved in the raid, are not named as plaintiffs.
Afroman said: “Some people are above the law while regular people have to obey it. When you lay the facts out about Hunter, it’s just a little funny, so we wrote a parody song to have fun with life and politics.”
At the time of publishing, the video of the song, released by Baste Records, had racked up over 800,000 views on YouTube and had reached number three on the iTunes video chart.
Afroman said: “I’ve only seen one negative comment and a lot of laughing faces and thumbs up. But the backlash is out there, because the universe has to balance itself out.”
“He may be bigger than my song, but if he does sue, as long as he doesn’t take all the money, he can have some, because he inspired the song,” said Afroman.
While he said this is the most political song he’s ever performed, he also said he won’t stray from poking fun at both sides of the aisle.
“If I had some good lines, I’d use them. I’d give them to the Earth. I’d sing about anybody. I sang about the police who raided me,” he said.
Afroman revealed he is also still running for president, having filed to do so 13 months ago. If he decides to bow out, he’ll throw his support to Trump.
“I might refuse to concede. You never know, the election might get stolen, man. You gotta watch ’em all the time,” he joked, noting that he doesn’t think the last one was stolen. “I don’t believe it was, but who knows. The minute you think you know something, you don’t.”
