on the subject. He said he told Lofven that Rocky was not a flight risk and"offered to personally vouch for his bail."The Swedish leader said earlier that he was aware Trump"has a personal interest in the case."
"I will explain that the Swedish judicial system is independent," he said of a possible call with the president."In Sweden, everyone is equal before the law, and this includes visitors from other countries." The rapper, whose real name is Rakim Mayers, 30, was detained on"probable grounds for serious assault" July 3. Stockholm's District Court granted prosecutor Daniel Suneson's request that Rocky should continue to be held in pretrial detention until July 25, the prosecutor's office said in a statement.
Flacko why you so wacko? ASAPRocky 2004, Mayers served two weeks in Rikers Island for drug dealing, where he shared a cell with future rapper Casanova wiki
trumpf's intervention will keep asap in jail.
Nor should he
Racism. From people that eat Surstromming this is BS.
Of course, he committed self-defense - an unspeakable affront to Swedish society and culture. Should have let himself get enriched, instead he chose Islamophobia. SAD!
If Rocky has any sense he’ll get his lawyers to tell Trump to keep out of it. Having the most unstable, globally disliked leader pushing your cause probably isn’t the best idea....
Sorry Rocky!
Despite a request of Kim K and lady Bieber 😂😂😂😂
It’s outrageous that realDonaldTrump would even attempt to interfere.
Good. He shouldn’t get a free pass. When You act the fool in a different country you suffer the consequences. realDonaldTrump
So he doesn’t reserve his obstruction of justice for the American legal system
He’s getting the Black treatment. We know.
SincerelyBlogg All this over a fight that he has insisted was self defense.
Your have to be suspicious of Thier Passion In this case, especially after seeing video etc.. They are acting like a terrorist act was committed, you have to The Bones behind this, it can't be simply Law.
WilliamMorgan83 Great. B/c he’s 45’s prop, a token. To appease black & brown communities re: send her back. This rapper can afford a group of lawyers! Unfortunately KimKardashian & her man R so disconnected with community, they ONLY think of themselves. NOT greater good of brown/black community
Wouldn’t be shocked to hear, having trump call on his behalf hurt their case... it’s not like he is super respected internationally.
Maybe if the famous learned to respect other countries these things would never happen. Maybe our famous can get away with a heck of a lot in our country but other countries have their standards and their laws.
We just want fair judicial treatment, not anti American bullshit!
Trump “believes” in rule of law until it becomes an opportunity for him to pander to whomever is on his list of the moment.
But what about Kanye?
That's a good thing! Law applies to all the same, you screw up, you are punished for it, no matter who you are. US should try that as well, it will help to fix one big orange problem.
He doesn’t need it they jumped a man. If he called them the N-word who fault is it? America’s I digress. I pray they let him off soon with a fine and time served.
Trump upgraded A$AP to Michal Jackson Level by intervention on A$AP arrest.
Maybe the guy in the White House will concentrate on kids in cages.🤔
Why should he be given ANY special treatment?
Trump befriends criminals.
Prez Trump has consistently and successfully lobbied for Americans imprisoned in foreign lands. The left thinks minorities are unfairly imprisoned in US but cant consider it happens in Sweden? Or they oppose his help for a black media figure because it may help him politically?
Very good
I'd imagine trump requesting lenient treatment would encourage them to lock him up and throw away the key!
Thank you Sweden
Good, he needs to get what he deserves
Meanwhile the white rapper G-Easy was arrested for assault and drugs in Sweden and let him go after 2 days.
The Midas touch
Apparently due process is special treatment. F*** Sweden
Good.
Awww. So sad to bad trump lost his lily white influence in his beautiful lily white country. Your an embarrassment all over the world. Thank you for making us look sad.
Sad part is that our MSM is rooting for him not to be released.
Trump’s attention to this is probably making his case worse.
DonnyDealz
Sweden should make a deal - release the caged immigrants for A$AP.
Good you break the law deal with the consequences by what did he do
Teach3ca If ASAP we’re in America, trump would take out a full page ad to demand his execution. What a farce.
They probably respect the rule of law🤷🏾♂️
🖕u Trump😂😂😂😂😂
Good. If he did the crime he needs to do the time.
Did POTUS actually speak to the Orime Minister? Am I missing something
It’s your responsibility to know the laws of the land no matter where you travel. Many people have traveled ignorant of the laws and get caught up. Due to our Presidents negative diplomatic standing, it’s even more difficult to get any sort of leniency when abroad.
ZoomJenny Thank you!
The VIDEO was clear they were followed and harassed. Self defense.
Sweden has become a NoGoZone. 😔
If Kanye West has the power to whisper in the US President’s ear and instantly get a favor for a buddy in trouble, our America has hit a new low in vulnerability...
Trump just announced if Sweden doesn’t comply with the release of A$AP Rocky they will be hit with sanctions for the injustice of detaining an American.😁😁😂
Sanity prevails.
Nor should he, let the court decide, not the idiot in the oval office
Good, trump should get the children out of cages first.
This is nothing but a political ploy to boost ’s for election time amongst Blacks and those who believe he’s doing the right thing by interfering in a foreign dispute involving an American.
Trump doesn’t have a clue. He should focus on the thousands of people in dog cages
If you go to another country respect it and appreciate that you live in the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
Do we really think trump will help any black or brown people if Kim K or Kanye don’t have a hand in it? No. And Kim K is tarnishing any good she was doing, by already asking for a favor. Ugh.
Trump is delusional if he thinks that Sweden’s justice system works by asking for favours. It just doesn’t work that way.
If he is guilty of a crime he should be tried for it
“I will explain that the Swedish judicial system is independent. In Sweden, everyone is equal before the law, and this includes visitors from other countries.' -Swedish Prime Minister trolls Trump
He's taking advice from kanyewest on what Black people care about and this is the result. Pure stupidity.
Good! It was inappropriate for Pres. Trump to call in a favor at the behest of his Hollywood “friends”. He wouldn’t do it for the rest of us common folk.
What they say and what they do are 2 different things
realDonaldTrump DavidMuir What about the couple that was murdered in British Columbia Canada? Give that some attention.
Nor should he. The Swedes, unlike realDonaldTrump, believe in equal protection, due process and the rule of law.
Oh gee - a very popular rapper gets busted for beating up someone. Trump sees the opportunity and offers to help him. Why? To show he's not really a racist. He's a smart one with a good degree. Donald Trump BSA (bullsh*t artist)
He was told to try it to get votes. He s a complete fraud.
Oh, that's uncharacteristic to Sweden, keen to quickly bend to Uncle Sam's wants😇. Indeed, a mark of political courage by Mr. Löfven😂
Sweden is on to the president and his need for publicity
There's babies locked in cages at the border and chump don't gaf but yeah Sweden PM go off
With all that’s going on in the world & then is 👌🏽 OK. Where has the real media gone? Just can’t picture Walter Chronkite it Edward R Murrow touching this overrated crap 💩
realDonaldTrump Is only saying this thinking he’ll heal his hateful rhetoric about 4 Congresswomen of color! He won’t, He can’t! He doesn’t care one dam about a black singer in jail in another country! Ask that butthead about his music or anything about the singer!! CRICKETS 🦗
A$AP Rocky is a friend of Kanye and Kim. Trump only cares about people of color if Kimkan tells them to pardon or save them. CharlesMBlow
So he’s in jail while they investigate it? Seems a bit backwards....
He’s a detriment.
Sweden doesn't offer bail!? Wtf is that about?
A$AP should change his last name to Clinton, then he’d be out of jail immediately with no charges, case closed, lol
I guess Trump is shocked that he has no power over Sweden🤣
Good!
Leadership and restoring order to the world.
Fine. As long as he treats all people who have been accused of committing a crime in Sweden the same.
As he should not
Well of course not. Anything that can be associated with Trump must be burned to the ground. Even if it’s for the good of man. Total destruction. Resist if it kills you. Just like they did to our dear Obama. Payback is hell.
Good. I'm glad the European leaders are letting Trump know how little they think of him. I'll be glad when we get a real president. realDonaldTrump
Rightly so.
That questions his power. I like A$AP Rocky& think this is b.s. but they told realDonaldTrump POTUS , to ‘suck it’ basically...
M A S T E R N E G O T I A T O R
Trump barely knows how to count to ten, let alone understand Swedish legal system.
Burn the whole country
GOOD!
it seems like trump tethers himself to every bad call that he can find...its a little weird. who can guess wrong every time?
Wow. Avoid the shithole sweden. They will arrest you if their violent citizens attack you. Then they'll hold you in prison to play politics. The whole EU is a disaster.
As it should be u NEED to follow independent process even if you don't like it
topgyalnyc But I thought all of Europe loved Trump? No?
Another international Trump embarrassment.
What the hell? Since realDonaldTrump is literally Hitler I thought the bomber wings glassed Sweden yesterday? I mean otherwise he's just another politician right?
But I thought we were respected by all countries again?
Who really believes that Trump actually knows A$AP Rocky
Says a lot about the power of the US Presidency under realDonaldTrump ...We are treated as clowns, as we really are under RacistPresident
And exactly why did Trump intervene hear anyway?
Well done.
I’m thoroughly amazed nbs is reporting this. For days u have called trump a racist, yet he is intervening in negotiating the release and the return to the USA, a man of color? Not so racist is he? A president for ALL AMERICANS
Good. The era of US Plutocratic Power is over. The rule of law matters, not the tweets of a President who thinks he can undermine the rule of law in other nations as a way to get support from his rich black celebrity friends in the USA.
Kim Kardashian might worry about children in cages on the US border. Sweden has a democratic system and A$AP will be able to put up with his sentence.
The only correct answer lockhimup ASAPRocky
What a good timing for Trump performing his hypocrisy. Ironically, Trump was asked to release the children in cages.
Special treatment? The dude shouldn't even be locked up!
There is no Bill Barr in Sweden. Hasn't anyone told Trump that yet?
rolandsmartin 🤔
Well done Sweden. Another Trump lie.
So, is the story of 45’s perversions or the children in cages are so much yesterday?
rolandsmartin Welp.
rolandsmartin
rolandsmartin When was this effort for Otto Warmbier? Couldn’t call your other “Kim” friend to get him released?
Just puked in my mouth!realDonaldTrump FLOTUS GetOutOfOurHouse ! ASAP 😡
They will release him
Good
Good. Do the crime, pay the time. Now how about realDonaldTrump worried about the inhumane conditions at our own border Or are “jaredkushner, KimKardashian , kanyewest and FLOTUS not pushing for help with that
I was just wondering why i havent heard nothing. Smh he in my prayers tonight. Along with every body else 🙏🙏🙏 (.
jonathan4ny With a name like A$ap Rocky, keep him where he is....
KimKardashian do you know how to R-E-A-D?
🤷🏾♀️
Never should have welcomed Trump's two bits! Poor Rocky... looks like Bullwinkle will lose a friend for a while.
😂🤣😂🤣😂
More winning from the Right... LoL!
PelosiSquadFive 🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂TrumpFail
Wow Trump’s word is crap and he literally made the situation worse.
But he will be getting an extra week of incarceration.
Look at all the deranged leftist racist in this thread. Wow
He’s not in danger being held in Sweden. Just Bc he’s an American celebrity doesn’t mean he can circumvent the law (and be released)like Trump gets to.
Exactly.
rolandsmartin I fully support the Prime Minister’s decision, we must respect the laws of countries we visit
tetra1956 Some serious Swedish shade! In Sweden... Presidents don’t sway the prosecution, everyone equal under the law, no special privileges because Donald requests it, Donald can’t interfere in their judicial system. Watch for Donald to lie, then retaliate. I love Sweden!
He is Not another OJ. Got to serve time.
Idiot trump said he’d personally vouch for his bail money. Sweden doesn’t have bail. Embarrassing. Also personally I think trump’s just getting involved in this so say see, I’m not a racist. Fake.
Like he truly cares about this rapper. 🙄 Oh what, we're supposed to believe Donald is a fan of his music, right? Not. Just another token effort to try cleaning up the latest mess his big mouth made.
What
So, will dt slap tariffs on Sweden now b/c they don't think A$AP deserves special treatment?
rolandsmartin —his ‘pr’ people didn’t do their job—he should have been told—if you get in trouble overseas—there aren’t any guarantees you will be released to the american embassy—
There is a full length video you can watch look for its totally a good clean video taken. End result Asap and two others beating up one guy over a broken headset which security guy broke can hear several times why are you following us he refers to his headset.
Who the fuck is ASAP Rocky anyway?
Mudslimes are a protected species in Sweden.
What happened? I read a really vague report saying he was charged with assault? Did he hit someone? Are we still 'following the law, don't get arrested' ? Conservatives?
Nuke Sweden to set an example.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 If he is guilty, give him the max
rolandsmartin He shouldn't. He threw that man across the street for following him. Consequences 💁🏾♀️
rolandsmartin Dummy trump has no clout & no credibility.
rolandsmartin What did Rocky do?
I agree. The U.S. needs to stay out of it. Sweden is a civilized nation with a justice systen. Go there, break their laws, suffer the consequences. Same as here.
rolandsmartin Nobody respects the clown. internationalembarassment
AT LEAST TO BE FAIR & NEUTRAL!!!!!!
$weden’$ both hip and hop to distraction politics
We could learn a lot about how a civilized society behaves from Sweden.
And would the sitting president be intervening if the guy wasn't famous? Or if his release wasn't requested by other reality stars? Would a regular citizen be given the same preferential treatment? This administration is so f****** corrupt and unsustainable. See you in 2020. 🌊🌊
How would we know anyway all their stats are washed
Unlike POTUS, who intervened for this 30 yr old man , I am less worried for his welfare in Sweden as I am for the welfare of the people, especially children, being held in horrible conditions in America.
Haha
As well he shouldn’t. He goes to Sweden and embarrasses the rest of us.
Trump made it worse by getting involved.
Wasn't there so I don't know who's at fault but from my understanding no gun fire that's refreshing, these kids live to see another day 👏👏👏
Good for you Sweden!
Said he would be treated “fairly”. Can’t ask for more.
When you did the crime you have to do the time
great news
Good for Sweden. This isn’t Trumps business. What is Trumps business are the kids on the border, the DREAMERS, among thousands of other real issues. Trump flexing against Sweden!!! But not Saudi Arabia, Russia, or NK. I mean...wtf
Gosh. I hope he survives Swedish prison. It has such a terrible reputation.
I love PDQ!
Because the Swedish have properly separated their branches of government... unlike the U.S.
And rightly so!!
Good. Sweden is not North Korea. I expect he'll be treated fairly by their justice system.
Sounds like we need to ready the battleships POTUS
DOHH
It is just a campaign stunt by Trump.
Why should he get special treatment?
Good. Celebrities should be treated like everyone else under the law
Right right right those countries have laws like USA They don't rule in USA I THINK Mr PRESIDENT u have better and more important things to do let that country do their job. This person knew he wasn't in USA he is grown person .if he didn't take care of business . Business will.
I feel bad...but kinda glad when 45 doesn't get a win.
Swedish PM sounds like an affable kind of guy. 😎
Maybe don’t assault people
realDonaldTrump Start shi!!!ng on Sweden 🇸🇪 in 3...2...1
I guess that’s fair as long as he is in decent conditions
He should care more about releasing those poor immigrants from the concentration camps he is holding them in! This is and should be his top priority. Not helping a rapper he never heard of or playing golf!
Good. Being a rich American shouldn't be a license for bad behavior whether you're a rapper or a president.
It’s Sweden. The guy should just convert to Islam and then they will give him special treatment.
Trump the bully likes to tell everybody else how to run their countries imagine he would not be happy to receive a phone from a country looking for a fast track on their jailed popstar
Good
Ha.
Too bad they didn't capture some of our democratic hopefuls
Leave his ass over there
Good. Why should he get special treatment and why the hell is Trump meddling in this when there are so many more important issues affecting millions of Americans that he should be working on? How about working to release the children from cages at the border?
I'm sure the Democrats can do a whole lot better
But the white rapper with coke walked right out 🤦
I salute you, Sweden
Great. realDonaldTrump flexes at the wrong time once again NotFitForOffice RemoveTrumpFmOffice VoteAgainst GOP TooFarRight Facist
It probably strengthened their resolve, tbh.

Glad to see trump can’t buy their souls like the complicit republicans here.
i have no sympathies for abusers that assault women. none.
What a non-corrupt justice system looks like!
Obama would have done better. Just sayin.
the best deals. bigly
It’s a Swedish prison...probably got meatballs on tap...easy time
Now get ready for your president starting to insult Sweden. Ugh. Embarrasing, americans.
Trump doesn't give a fck about this man! He never did. It's a distraction. His idiot members of his MAGA movement are eating it up! It means nothing! Subterfuge!
Time to boycott Nokia.
If he is like that he can kiss goodby to Swedish immigration to US. He can also end up with sanctions too. Nobody disobey our 'Supreme Leader', nobody.
I hope I get a call on my behalf directly from POTUS if I get into a fight and arrested in a foreign country.
Not asking for special treatment, just fair treatment.
Hahahahahah thank you smart man
I honestly never heard his music but he will be out soon. 😊👍
Start getting what we pay for, cooperation!!!
Cut off all aid too Sweden then!
How about this ...don’t gang beat someone with a bottle and you won’t end up in jail. What a waste of time. Why do we worry so much more about criminals then law abiding citizens? You’re a guest in their country. Abide by their laws.
He shouldn't be treated differently than anyone visiting Sweden. No bail for flight risks. Jail till investigations are finished. The other man has been charged and, as a Swedish citizen, has the right to bail.
Well he left Amerikkka, so Donald John Trump should be happy! Bring him back while in the same breath deporting people of color by the thousands! Hmmmm damn Donald John Trump!
realDonaldTrump guessing this is a FU from Sweden, of all places
I know that I've already asked this, but .... WHO?!?!?!?!?
I’d bet they’ll be harder on him!
and Dems cheering against A$AP Rocky.
Sweden. Where suspected criminals are treated like suspected criminals.
Good on ya Sweden
you reap, what you sow !
In Sweden the rich and famous don't get special treatment. I'm sure that is shocking to American celebrities...
I’m sure he is a nice boy it would be a shame if he goes through the whole process. Bad experience for him. While trump is at this please free El Chapo we miss him.
Good.
Well there you go.
seemva1 How did he manage to squeeze it in between taking care of Japan and S Korea, golfing, insulting congresswomen and golfing?
Lol, I bet it hurt to know there's black Americans who support President Trump
Good
DAndreAz Trump doesn't care
Good
Yes. Because they have a justice system that is based on justice instead of wealth.
And what about the immigrants children that you put in cages. Can you do something quickly. We need help donald.
Trump is doing this simply for publicity- nothing else! It’s possible Sweden recognizes this as well and has voiced the warning.
Well ya because Sweden is run by normal, rational people.
Like anyone thought Trump's comments would be helpful to A$AP... ijs
Even Trump's supporters must realize he is bad at his job, no?
Special ? It doesn’t need to be special. But it needs to be fair and handled similar to others that have previously been charged with the same offense.
Trump most likely pissed off the Swedish Prime Minister. He has a knack for doing that.
Sweden p.m. 1. Trump 0
Trying to save face, this 'singer' will b back in U.S. within 2 weeks
He shouldn't be in jail in the first place
Trump is petty, wouldn't mind threatening to nuke Sweden just to get his point across
Sweden was already a highly-civilized country, with a comprehensive legal structure, when America was just a forest. Sweden will be totally fair with A$AP Rocky. For Trump to stick his big, fat proboscis into Swedish legal affairs is offensive...to Swedes...and Americans. 🇸🇪🇺🇸 👍
Hallelujah
So, in Sweden the fact that you're rich and famous DOESN'T get you special treatment from the authorities? I'm shocked
_dralaterdzo Do check out justinbieber and his brilliant comment.
trump acting like he cares ? totally political !
🙂👍 Wise Decision.
_dralaterdzo But but Spanky said he’d post bail. Hahahahahaha
Another words, Mr. PM - no chance realDonaldTrump using A$AP as a redemption for his infamous words....
Ok get ready for sanctions Sweden.(sarcastic font here) realDonaldTrump
woul LIVE to be able to spread this half baked bs. Disgusting smear propaganda
Little kids in cages (on your orders) and this is what motivates you to intervene in an injustice? Trump is an ass.
Obama didn't get special treatment either.
GOOD.
Nor should it...sovereign country does what it likes, according to its laws
Since realDonaldTrump is literally Hitler I assume all bomber wings are on a collision course with glassing Sweden right now.
Ummm, who cares? 🤔
How about Sweden stop being racist & free a man defending himself? G-Eazy had drugs & oh look hes back in USA perfectly fine 🙄
Poor Kimye....
1-Trump is a Racist. 2-Trump doesn't care about A$AP Rocky. 3-Trump can't name one song of said rapper. 4-Trump vouching for A$AP's bail is as good as Trump's promise to pay his contractors who worked on his hotels. 4-Trump lies like a rug.
Easy to see why Trump’s sociopathy and narcissism would want to burn what little political capital he has with other international leaders to just get more love from Hollywood celebrities. He doesn’t really care about justice towards African Americans (re: Kapernick)
- SwedeninUSA you must intercede in his favor because he is a US citizen -
Good. Laws are laws. realDonaldTrump doesn’t realize that still.
Not should he. First. Mr Trump only cares about white rich men and beautiful women. He couldn’t care less about black brown or older people. Second. If a person goes to another country he or she needs to behave in a respectful manner. This looks like a way to win black voters
Not sure he should.......why is he fighting over there
Of course not. They have a justice system that's not led by Barr.
If Trump’s involved it means he’s probably guilty
Good...he doesn’t need it
I don't understand why this is a thing. He's just some dude who got arrested in Sweden.... SWEDEN!. not by the Taliban in some mountains. Trump gotta get over this celebrity friendship crew thingy he has going on.
Good
One of the Kardashian's yank on Donald's coat sleeve? Or was it Ivanka the Voice of Reason interceding on the behalf of a Rap star. Or was it Wrong way Kanye West/ Trump loves to help criminals and ASAP has not been convicted but others have and they get favors.
Warns? How about ‘assures’?
So, T-Rump’s promise wasn’t a good ikea after all.
Mr. Photo OP- political stunt pos potus... Try to get some work accomplished....between your golf and tv....cuz this rapper thing is a high priority.....
Why and does anybody know why they’re all over him? Isn’t there a tape?
Trump interfered so the Swedes hold the rapper longer out of spite. ConDon
Donald Trump is not the King of the World.
Nobody tell the President y’all he’s going to be so angry at Sweden
Thank you Sweden! SwedeninUSA
Bet you Trump can’t even name one of his songs
Thanks Kimye!
Won't stop Trump from taking some kind of credit once he is finally released.
So Trump is more compassionate than the leaders of Europe? 🤯
