G-Eazy was reportedly released from a Swedish jail on Friday (May 4). As reported by The Blast, G-Eazy’s Swedish lawyer, Mikael Westerlund, said the Beautiful & Damned rapper was convicted on charges of assault, possession and use of narcotics.
The consequences of the conviction have not been disclosed but Westerlund did confirm G-Eazy was a “free man.”
The 28-year-old was arrested early Thursday morning (May 3) at a club in Stockholm, shortly after he’d finished performing a show. Due to his reportedly “belligerent” behavior, the club’s security guards asked him to calm down but G-Eazy started throwing punches.
Once police arrived on the scene, they found him in possession of 1.5 grams of cocaine and a rolled up $100 bill.
G-Eazy told Swedish police he purchased and used drugs, and admitted to punching a security guard in the face.
Westerlund says his client plans on leaving Sweden immediately.
The European run of the Beautiful & Damned Tour is expected to resume on May 6 in Copenhagen.

G-Eazy was reportedly arrested in Sweden early Thursday morning (May 3) for cocaine possession and assault. According to TMZ, the Bay Area native was involved in an alleged altercation at a club following his performance at Annexet in Stockholm.
The “Sober” rapper was reportedly acting belligerent. Consequently, he was approached by several security guards who asked him to settle down. Instead, the 28-year-old allegedly started throwing punches, and hit one member of the security team multiple times in the face.
Once police arrived on the scene, G-Eazy was reportedly detained. It was then the authorities discovered he was in possession of cocaine.
G-Eazy is reportedly still in custody on charges of suspicion of assault, possession and use of narcotics.
The Stockholm show marked the first stop on the European leg of The Beautiful & Damned Tour. Halsey — G-Eazy’s superstar singer girlfriend — and rapper Sean Kingston were with him at the time of his arrest.[apple_news_ad type=”any”]
The tour is scheduled to wrap up in Dublin, Ireland on June 8 but it’s unclear how his arrest will affect the remaining dates.
HipHopDX reached out to G-Eazy’s team and didn’t hear immediately back.
See thats whay you get for hanging with sean kingston
What a dumbass
Well, those prisons are like resorts out there. He’ll survive. Not sure how he would do out here though.
Where are all the Trumptards screaming for prison time? Oh that’s right this one’s white….
Lock him up and leave him in there
Gerald hanging out with Sean Kingston in Sweden with cocaine…..that’s an interesting combination……..
I guess you could say that G-Eazy went From The Bay to The Bork, Bork, Bork.
Bork is from Iceland check yourself fool
Bork as in reference to SWEDISH CHEF.
I thought Sean Kingston was a fat black kid.
This is what happens when you are around black people.. It’s obvious this black piece of shit Sean Kangston has bad influence on G-Eazy. On a more serious note – “No Limit REMIX” was my shit.
He did a duet with Justin Bieber called “Eenie Meenie”. It’s kind of difficult to be a bad influence or even be considered one when you do something as corny as that.
Sean Kingston is like the black Bobby Hill, theyre is not one once of bad in that bag of lard. TF is you on about?
This guy is such a loser
Fortunately for him, he got locked up in Sweden. Their prisons are supposedly like rehab centers for the rich , lol
The lslamic caliphate of Swedistan! Sweden is the raep capital of the world. Right after Lesotho, Africa. #Diversity #SwedenYes #Multiculturalism #ZOG
Ha, Ha, stupid, and yet here you are knee deep in black culture #hiphop #engageyourbrain #duh # inyour40’sandstillatroll.
Yeah. Because somalians and afganistans are the base of hiphop.
how would this news be covered if he was a black rapper?
Either they wouldnt report it all or if they did they would make him out to be the victim of racism’
These hardcore gangster rappers
could be a marketing stunt to help gain more male fans, 75% of his fans are female. you gonna say ‘how does drug use gain male fans?’ you know damn well the answer, getting high and punching people gonna help his street cred. This is not hate, looking at it from a business mindstate. G easy got some joints. (no pun intended)
No marketing stunt. He has been known to use cocaine a lot. He gonna drop his entire bag on coca just like DMX
I like G-Eazy because he is *WHITE*.

Damn, I wanted to see if he’d be Bunk-mates with Swedish Chef along with having a strict diet of Swedish Meatballs and Swedish Fish.

Probably just get a fine for small shit like that.
White Privileged indeed, Gibbs was innocent and served time for some BS and this guy is guilty and gets no type of reprimand, ????
Gibbs was locked up in Austria. Different countries and different crimes so you can’t really compare
