A$AP Rocky has been released from Swedish jail following the third day of his assault trial in Stockholm.
The Harlem rapper had been in custody since July 3rd after he was accused of attacking a man named Mustafa Jafari on June 30th. Rocky’s two other associates are also free — a verdict will be announced on August 14th, but they don’t need to stay in Sweden until then.
Rocky is also unlikely to spend further time in jail. Prosecutor Daniel Suneson said that he was seeking a six-month sentence for him, who earlier today said that community service would be a proper punishment.
