President Trump Speaks On A$ap Rocky’s Detention In Sweden

A$ap Rocky has been detained in Sweden since the 2nd of July after a video showing him and his team violently beating up a man on the street two days earlier. 

A$ap Rocky whose real name is Rakim Mayers, turned himself in explaining that he and his team were being followed and threatened before attacking in defense but was surprisingly arrested and kept in solitary confinement for aggravated assault charges.

After lots of persuasion, he seems to have been moved to a better conducive place. His team launched a petition for his freedom and lots of heavyweights have joined in support. 

Kim Kardashian confirmed that her husband Kanye West urged her to speak to Donald Trump concerning the issue which she did and publicly thanked President Trump and everyone putting in effort to bring Rocky back home.

“Thank you @realDonaldTrump, @SecPompeo, Jared Kushner & everyone involved with the efforts to Free ASAP Rocky & his two friends,” she wrote. “Your commitment to justice reform is so appreciated.”

Donald Trump said the First Lady Melania Trump brought the case to his notice again and has decided to act on it stating that they’ll be working with State department to bring him back home. 

“Many, many members of the African-American community have called me, friends of mine, and said, ‘could you help?’ So I personally don’t know A$AP Rocky but I can tell you he has a lot of support from the African American community in this country,” President Trump said. “And when I say African American, I can really say from everybody in this country, because we are all one.”
