All of this is intersecting with Rocky’s past comments and the realization that freedom for all also means freedom for people we don’t always agree with or even like. Now, Rocky’s arrest and impending July 30 trial have become the focal point of an international debate over prison reform, race and politics, a debate that has involved everyone from Rocky’s rap peers to fans bombarding trending Twitter hashtags with demands for his release to Kim Kardashian and even President Donald Trump. While Rocky’s video did garner him some sympathy - he is, after all, seen trying to defuse the situation before any blows land - it hasn’t gotten him out of jail.

Rocky himself tosses one man, sending him flying before he crashes down on the street. But cooler heads did not prevail, and Rocky’s crew is seen punching and kicking the two men. In the multiple videos of the incident to hit the internet - Rocky himself released two to tell his side of the story - the two alleged victims are seen following Rocky and his crew, refusing to leave them alone, before the attack transpired. He was arrested on July 3 after a now-viral video allegedly showed the MC and his entourage beating up two men. Grammy-nominated Harlem rapper A$AP Rocky (real name Rakim Athelaston Mayers) has spent the past three weeks in a Swedish jail.
