A$AP Rocky was arrested on July 3 while trekking across Europe. Many artists have since come forward in support of Rocky, with some saying they will be boycotting stops in Sweden on their future tours.
The growing list on the #FreeFlacko bandwagon includes rappers like Tyler, The Creator, T.I., ScHoolboy Q, Lil Yachty, Sheck Wes, and Earthgang. While on the other side of the fence, JID voiced that he plans to continue scooping up checks for Swedish shows.
Rocky faces six years if convicted on aggravated assault charges after an altercation between his crew and two men earlier in July. Rocky has appealed his case to Sweden’s Supreme Court. There is a petition you can sign to support Rocky at Change.org.
Check out some of the artists’ reactions below.
