He has been sentenced to time served, meaning his sentence is less than or equal to the amount of time he already spend in pretrial detention. A$AP Rocky does not need to return to Sweden to serve any further jail time.

This morning, Hot Press broke down the possible verdicts to come from the case.

A$AP Rocky, real name Rakim Mayers, was set to headline Dublin’s Longitude Festival back on 5 July, but never made it to the show after he was arrested on 3 July for suspected assault charges, according to Hot Press.

Three weeks after his arrest, Mayers and two members of his entourage were formally charged with assault, as reported by Hot Press. However, they were allowed to return to the US on 2 August while awaiting the results of the trial.

The case drew global attention through the hashtag #FREEROCKY which was used by everyone from Justin Bieber to Donald Trump. The American president himself tried to intervene in the case, saying back on July 19^th in a tweet that after speaking to Kanye West, he would reach out to the Prime Minister Stefan Löfven of Sweden to see what he could do to bring the rapper home.

President Trump allegedly offered to personally vouch for Mayers’s bail, but according to Prime Minister Löfven’s press secretary, Toni Eriksson, this is not recognised under Swedish law. He continued to emphasise the independence of the judicial system in Sweden and insisted that Mr. Löfven is not capable of influencing legal proceedings.

“Very disappointed in Prime Minister Stefan Löfven for being unable to act,” tweeted Trump after the call. The former Swedish Prime Minister, Carl Bildt, responded to the tweet saying, “The rule of the law applies to everyone equally and is exercised by an independent judiciary. That’s the way it is in the US, and that’s certainly the way it is in Sweden. Political interference in the process is distinctly off limits!  Clear?”

The diplomatic spat luckily simmered down from there.
