US rapper A$AP Rocky has been found guilty of assault and handed a conditional sentence after he was involved in a street brawl in Stockholm
The performer and two members of his entourage were convicted by a Swedish court, following a confrontation in the Swedish capital on June 30.
In its ruling on Wednesday, Stockholm District Court rejected the performer's claim that the trio had been acting in self-defense. Swedish public prosecutor Daniel Suneson had argued during the trial that the artist and the two other men — David Rispers and Bladimir Corniel — assaulted the victim by kicking and beating him with a whole or part of a glass bottle while he lay on the ground.
While expressing disappointment in the verdict, Jovicic said he was pleased about the court's decision on the bottle."It's shown that was followed and provoked," he said. "I have not been contacted by anyone," Lennerbrant said."There's been no attempt to exert influence over me and I'm not aware that any other member of the Swedish court has been contacted."
