A$AP Rocky Gets Suspended Sentence, Will Not Do Additional Jail Time in Sweden
American rapper A$AP Rocky was on Wednesday convicted of assault and given a suspended sentence for an altercation that took place in Stockholm, Sweden on June 30.
Rocky, whose real name is Rakim Mayers, had pleaded self-defense, saying he had tried to avoid a confrontation with two men who he said were persistently following his entourage. One of them picked a fight with one of Mayers’ two bodyguards, the rapper told the Stockholm District Court.
"The prosecutor has not been able to prove that the victim was struck in the back of the head with a bottle or that he was in any other way assaulted with bottles. This has affected the assessment of the seriousness of the crime," the presiding judge Per Lennerbrant said in his ruling. Rocky spent nearly five weeks in detention in Sweden but was released Aug. 2, along with his co-defendants Thoto and Bladi, pending the verdict in the trial. The judge ruled Rocky was not a flight risk. Rocky has since left Sweden and is currently on tour in the United States. In his first post-release show, at the 92.3’s inaugural Real Street Festival on Sunday, Aug. 12, he addressed his incarceration.
