Rapper A$AP Rocky detained in Sweden after street fight
Published July 03, 2019
Swedish prosecutors say rapper A$AP Rocky has been detained for a suspected attack on an unknown person in downtown Stockholm.
The Swedish Prosecution Authority says the investigation was "at an initial stage" and should be decided by midday Saturday, whether A$AP Rocky — real name Rakim Mayers — should be formally arrested. His three body guards are suspected of lesser degrees of assault under Swedish law.
In a statement, the authority said the four were detained Wednesday because they would leave the country and avoid prosecution. No further information was available.
