American rapper A$AP Rocky has been found guilty of assaulting a man in Sweden, according to reports, but he will serve no further jail time. Rocky, real name Rakim Mayers, was arrested in Stockholm in July after he allegedly got into a brawl with 19-year-old Mustafa Jafari. Prosecutors had asked the court to sentence Rocky to at least six months in jail. However, he was handed a conditional sentence Wednesday after the court found that the assault was not “of such a serious nature” to warrant more time behind bars. He had already spent over a month in a Swedish detention center. The case gained international attention after President Donald Trump called on Swedish authorities to release the rapper.
