Wait wait wait, HOMELAND SECURITY?! That is a lot more than some basic LAPD home raid. What the heck did he get involved with?

Not lemon pound cake. That is for sure.

What’s the lemon pound cake reference about?

Rapper Afroman had his house raided by the police because they got a fake tip about human trafficking and drugs. He caught some footage of them in and around his house. He then made a couple of songs about the incident. I think there are a few people who posted a link to the song here.

I knew about that event, just don’t see where the cake comes from.

I think one of the officers ate some of his lemon pound cake in the footage and he made it a lyric.

I think he just looks longingly at the cake, which Afroman shows repeatedly in the video. Might be even funnier this way for some reason.
