Following reports A$AP Rocky will be in a Stockholm, Sweden prison for possibly two weeks for an alleged assault, fellow A$AP mob-member A$AP Ferg has hopped on Instagram to offer his support to his colleague.
In his caption, Ferg details the injustices of the incident and defends his friend by stating, “He was no way in form the aggressor in this ordeal. Pray for justice #freeflacko.”
The “Plain Jane” rapper says Rocky is being held with “no visit or phone call privileges.”
On Tuesday (July 2), Rocky was arrested on suspicion of aggravated assault after he was interviewed about the the alleged assault. The incident took place on Sunday (June 30) after he got into a heated dispute with a group of men who were upset over a pair of broken headphones.
Two days later, Rocky posted a video on Instagram of the moments leading up to the incident and explained the the men followed him for four blocks and were “slapping girls butts who passed.”
He also posted a nearly three-minute video showing the man broke his headphones after using them to hit Rocky’s bodyguard.
According to TMZ, the “Pretty Flacko” artist’s arrest has become a “humans rights issue” because Swedish authorities are preventing American embassy reps from meeting with Rocky and his lawyers.
In addition to becoming an international incident, the arrest has caused some professional harm for the rap star. BBC reports Rocky missed a scheduled festival in Poland on Thursday (July 4) and a gig in Ireland on Friday (July 5). He also won’t be able to perform at London’s Wireless Festival on Sunday (June 7).
So far, there have been thousands of posts under the #FreeRocky and #FreeFlacko hashtags on Instagram.
If convicted, Rocky could face up to six years in prison.

Nah lock this clown up too
Watching the video again, it seems like the kid keeps asking them for his headphones. Did they grab them? Maybe it was the reason all this went down. Listen to the kid
You know I saw that video and I think that they need to realize that he is famous and people are going to want to follow him. At 30 years old he had no business throwing and then punching and kicking and cutting a fan. I hope he pays for it and he gets time for it .Learn this gang beating mentality isn’t cute and as long as u act like animal we should treat you like one .
Rebeckuh shut up
You had 1 thing to write and u fucked that up u dumb fuck u shut the fuck up bay area all day you punk bitch
I just got out this morning, I’ve seen rocky in there acting all paranoid lol. Americans soft ass fuck. All big talks when you home but when you alone you a hoe.
Rapping about killing people but being afraid in the safest country in the world.
Rocky dont really rap about that my man. Move along.
you are from sweden right? coz you clearly dont know the f*** you talkin bout
Europe don’t play, they don’t accept US gang culture there. you’ll do hard time
and that’s the problem with our society. anytime a black male is perceived as being aggressive, even in defense of his self, it is automatically equated to gang violence and therefore a threat to society lol asap rocky is clearly not a gang member.
the only problem is with being PERCEIVED as violent is he is on camera punching someone… hard to dispute that one Sherlock…
Look at world star. All Blaques do is run in packs and attack like feral dogs. Slavery at least kept them employed and civilized. They want reparations? I think they should pay us back rent for ruining our cities
ASAP Rocky is scary i just got out this morning and me and a couple of homies took his food can i have your cornbread yes sir ?
Sweden has been ruined by the Mooooslim invasion courtesy of Merkel andObumbo. As Soon As Possible better not draw up any Alllllllah pictures in jail, or he’s dead meat.
