On June 30, rapper A$AP Rocky was arrested after he was accused of taking part in an altercation with an Afghanistan refugee in Stockholm, Sweden.

I Love Sports Radio reports – A$AP Rocky has been nominated for two Grammy awards and collaborated with the likes of Drake, Kanye West and Kendrick Lamar.

He was on trial in Sweden and has been in custody there since 3 July, accused of assaulting a 19-year-old man, Mustafa Jafari, on the evening of 30 June.

As a well-known hip-hop artist, his trial has made international headlines and attracted attention from celebrities including Diddy, Justin Bieber, Kim Kardashian West, Jada Pinkett Smith, Rod Stewart, Cara Delevigne and Post Malone.

More than 600,000 fans have signed a #JusticeForRocky petition set up online.

And following a call from Kanye West, who he has met in the past, the US president himself became involved.

Donald Trump asked Swedish Prime Minister Stefan Lofven to help free the rapper, but the politician said he could not interfere in a legal case.

Trump later tweeted messages saying he was “very disappointed” in Mr. Lofven and demanding: “Treat Americans fairly!”

The president has sent ambassador Robert O’Brien, the US special presidential envoy for hostage affairs, to Sweden to monitor the court proceedings.

He also offered to personally vouch for bail, but Sweden does not have a bail system.

President Trump just announced on Twitter that the rapper has been released from prison in Stockholm and is coming home.

Black Americans are starting to come around to Trump and are seeing how much he’s truly helped the Black community.

Wait until Kim Kardashian and Kanye West start singing the praises of President Trump.

Liberal heads are about to explode.
