A judge has sided with Swedish prosecutors and decided that A$AP Rocky will remain in jail for another week while prosecutors continue their investigation.
A$AP, who has already spent two weeks in jail, is said to be living in dirty and inhumane conditions, while the man who he allegedly assaulted has not spent any time in custody even though Rocky claims the men harassed his crew and even hit his security guard with a pair of headphones, according to TMZ. This means Rocky will be in jail for three weeks before any charges are filed.
Prosecutors stated that they will make their final decision by next Thursday, even though the original press release from this Friday states that they are going to indict Rocky. They later sent out a revised one that simply stated Rocky must remain in jail so that they can make their final decision. Additionally, prosecutors said they must keep the rapper in custody because he is a flight risk.
Kanye West and Kim Kardashian are said to be working with President Donald Trump to help free the rapper. Kanye allegedly encouraged Kim to talk to Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, who Kim has previously collaborated with on her other White House work. Others involved include Members of the Congressional Black Caucus who have called out Secretary of State Mike Pompeo for not doing enough and claim the State Department isn’t moving fast enough.
Celebrities such as Nicki Minaj, Cardi B, Tyler, the Creator, and T.I. have all expressed their support in the fight to free Flacko.
