U.S. warned Sweden of 'negative consequences' if ASAP Rocky wasn't released
Source: NBC News
The U.S. government warned Sweden of "negative consequences" as it advocated for rapper ASAP Rocky during his trial for assault charges in Stockholm this week, according to a pair of letters released by the Swedish Prosecution Authority.
Rocky was released from jail on Friday pending the verdict, with President Donald Trump celebrating the news on Twitter. "It was a Rocky Week, get home ASAP A$AP!" Trump said.
The rapper landed back on U.S. soil Saturday, leaving behind him the looming verdict in an episode that has led to unexpected tension between the U.S. and its European ally.
According to the letters, obtained by NBC News partner Aftonbladet, the U.S. special presidential envoy for hostage affairs wrote to Swedish prosecutors urging them to release Rocky.

[Asap Rocky - Verse 1]
All I think about is life, nights, sippin on Sprite

Damn, how a young nigga get so nice
Young nigga cold like he sittin on ice
Fuck broke, tryin to be rich all life

My nuts hangin, my top back
Hoes screamin that pop back
Grown west side, bandana side
A$AP life, gotta pop tags
Harlem world my whole block strapped
Hoes all in my jock strap
My whip white but my top black
And my bitch white, but my cock black
Purple drink, got that
Tell these hoes all to twerk somethin
Bounce on me, bitch, hurt somethin
Tell her pop that pussy like its worth somethin
So shawty, she a stunna and daddy, he a runna
Be that pretty mothafucka, you could call me what you wanna
Cause Im in love with that ass, she in love with the cash
So she shakin it fast and then makin the stacks
And Im takin it back and Im takin her back
To the house just to bust in her mouth and Im kickin her out
[Hook]
I dont need you around
Take a ride to make
Oh no no no, oh no no no
So I say pussy, money, weed (Yeah)
Pussy, money, weed (Yea-yeah)

Pussy, money, weed (Yeah)
Pussy, money, weed (Y-yeah)

[Verse 2]
Smoking out, pouring up
Purple drink up in my cup
Bitches actin Hollywood
But in my hood they wanna fuck
Purple stuff, yellow tusk
Yellow stuff look like a bust
She look like the type to front
But most likely the type to fuck
Make a buck, catch a nut
This shit be that trill livin
Show you how the trill get it
Nigga, Pimp C gone, but he still livin
Cause Im still sippin and my grills glistenin
Got me gold grills, shinin and Im still tippin
Cause Im still pimpin, but it feel different
Cause its trill pimpin, nigga deal with it
Thats all a nigga need, thats all a nigga need
Got a bitch up on my shoulder, got another on my sleeve
I said these bitches know my steeze
WVs, weak in the knees
Got them bitches movin them keys
Rollin the weed, duckin them Gs
Got a bad bitch from Belize, another overseas
If she dont wear no weave, then her hair down to her knees
Got my wifeys smokin trees, my bad bitch on that E
But that pussy, money, weed, shit thats all a nigga need
Charming.

Yeah women trick men into getting them pregnant. Its always the womans fault. You think WOC who struggle as single mother deserve that?
The constant referring to women as bitches and tricks? The cheering of the exploitation of women? What makes him different from ASAP? Nothing.

(11,882 posts)It could just be put out to claim for the black vote. They've done this before, but I think they'll if given the chance hurt all minorities as bad as they can. He always does the opposite of his claims, and he do to all of them like he's doing to the immigrants. Once he gets their vote he'll turn on them and abuse his power hurting them. His tactics are the same as putin's, and more than likely coming from Putin. This is a racist trying to get votes by lying, and it's designed to con some people into doing that.

(6,241 posts)the guy and A$AP Rocky. Looks like the victim kept following the group and wouldnt leave them alone. The twirp hit the tall guy with his headphones, and was angry that his headphones broke, and, I guess, wanted them replaced. And then kept following and messing with the group. Why cant people just leave each other alone?
Sweden was wrong to arrest people protecting themselves. Im not a rap fan, dont know crap about this Rocky person, but in any sane country the stalker would be arrested for the assault, and the other people would go free. Glad this American is home. Id just suggest he never go to Sweden.

(24,304 posts)(Swedish Prosecutor) Suneson said this week it was worth noting that I have had access to a greater amount of material than what has been available on the internet. The decision to press charges means the rapper can be kept in custody until his trial, which is scheduled to start next Tuesday.

I was discussing this story with the s.o. and learned that in Sweden, there isn't a bail system. So if you get arrested, you stay in jail until you go to court. Usually 2 weeks to a month, which is bad only if you are innocent. And the time you spend before the hearing (or trial) is deducted from your sentence. I guess there is video of the situation, and asap rocky pleading self-defense might not work, as he continued to beat on the person after he was knocked down and self-defense ends when the threat is gone?

(9,350 posts)From reading the article it seems Donald Trump had nothing to do with A$AP Rocky being released from prison. Sweden ignored the threats coming from the White House and let the process play out.

(429 posts)ASAP Rocky has made disparaging remarks about the black community. He said, I dont wanna talk about no fucking Ferguson and shit because I dont live over there. I live in fucking SoHo and Beverly Hills. I cant relate, he said. In regards to the Black Lives Matter Movement, he said I just get upset, and what I was really trying to say there was, like, yo, I just, I hate when the bandwagon stuff start. I mean, how come, you know, black lives only matter when a police take em, when a police officer takes it? And it should be like, black lives; it should matter when a black life take it. You know what I mean? It should always matter. All lives matter!
ASAP has also made demeaning commentary toward black women. That shouldn't be surprising here- considering his reprehensible, misogynistic lyrics.
