A$AP Rocky Was Reportedly Released From Swedish Jail

A$AP Rocky is reportedly a complimentary man. TMZ reports the rapper, place on Earth Rakim Mayers, has been released from a Swedish jail soon after being detained for a month, pending the verdict of his assault trial.


On July 25, Rocky was charged with assault soon after an incident that took place in Stockholm in June, portions of which were captured on video by onlookers along with Rocky himself. At the time of his charge, Swedish prosecutor Daniel Suneson mentioned Rocky was "suspected of assault causing actual bodily harm, having come to the conclusion that the events in question constitute a crime and despite claims of self-defense and provocation" in a statement.


Now, right following the trial, Rocky and two other individuals have been temporarily freed as they await the verdict, which is expected August 14. It's unclear whether or not they can leave Sweden, the AP reports.


President Trump, who talked to the Swedish prime minister on Rocky's behalf immediately after being reached out to by Kanye West, tweeted on Friday (August 2) about the rapper's release. "A$AP Rocky released from prison and on his way residence To the
U.S. From Sweden," he wrote. "It was a Rocky Week, get residence ASAP A$AP!"


Rocky and the two other males are accused of beating and kicking a male named Mustafa Jafari and hitting him with a bottle. Rocky pleaded not guilty. Suneson mentioned on Friday that he's seeking a six-month sentence for Rocky.
