A$AP Rocky testified at his trial in Sweden on Thursday after entering a not guilty plea in relation to an assault charge for his involvement in a fight that broke out in the streets of Stockholm.
The American rapper, who has been imprisoned since July 2, wrapped up his testimony by telling those in the room that he is not seeking financial compensation from the court for all of his cancelled tour dates since his detention, but all he wants is"justice."
A$AP Rocky testified that he and his friends were followed and harassed by Jafari and another man ahead of the brawl and that Jafari instigated a fight with the rapper's bodyguard, Tim. He said that they"pleaded" and"begged" the two men for a peaceful outcome before they were driven to act in self-defense.
A$AP Rocky refuted the claim and the prosecutor said in court Tuesday that the medical report does not support injuries by a bottle. President Donald Trump, who also vowed to help, repeatedly called for the rapper's freedom and lashed out at Sweden and the country's prime minister on Twitter last Thursday following news that the rapper will be charged.
O'Brien was in court Tuesday and while he said he wasn't commenting on the case he told ABC News,"We want to bring this American citizen, A$AP, back as soon as possible."
