American rapper A$AP Rocky has pleaded not guilty to assault charges in a Swedish court on the first day of a trial that has grabbed the attention of President Trump and the world's media

Best known for his song"Praise the Lord," the 30-year-old performer, whose real name is Rakim Mayers, was detained almost a month ago following a street brawl in the capital Stockholm on June 30. If convicted, A$AP Rocky, who was charged with assault last week, could face up to two years in prison. On Tuesday morning, Swedish public prosecutor Daniel Suneson read out the charges against the artist and two other men in his entourage.

He also shared text messages exchanged between different members of A$AP Rocky's team, who spoke about"cleaning up" and"deleting" the videos.As the prosecutor detailed the case against A$AP Rocky, the rapper's fans were gathered in a nearby room to watch the proceedings unfold on a big screen."I'm a big fan of A$AP Rocky," Marie-Thiella Hakizmana, one of those gathered at court, told CNN.

Looks like an economic refugee to me. Put him in 'da cage!!! 🙂

Trump is fighting FOR his release.

Can you get street cred from a Swedish Prison?

Can you believe the things Sweden will do simply to make me look bad in front of The Blacks! VERY UNFAIR!!!

The Swedes seem to be more concerned about a fight than migrants raping their women. In fact, some rapes weren't even reported, due to government suppression (they didn't want to admit they made a mistake). I'm not excusing the fight, but it's hardly the equivalent of a rape.

Or worse, three years with the Trumps and then three with the Kardashians.

It’s ok Rocky. I heard Swedish prisons are really nice and you’ll be done with your sentence A$AP.

I hope he can get a fair trial ! ! !

Can't run to president for every little thing tuff enough fight tuff enough get sentence

Assault is an assault less other guy hit first who is he get away with it

He might be eating a lot of knackebrod.

Boycott IKEA. 😂🤣😂

Fan in Sweden: There is quite a lot of evidence against him. It would be right for the court to convict him; they just shouldn’t give him a very long sentence. Fan in America: (ignores all evidence...) Free Rocky!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He was the one attacked right?!

Gonna be pretty messed up if he goes to prison, in a foreign country at that after what he said about BLM. Man gotta be careful what you say. Never know when youre gonna end up in that situation. Smh

As he should … riight realDonaldTrump?

CNN lies so much I’m not sure if this is true

good. Maybe he and DonnieDimwit could share a cell and Donald could learn how to rap

Sweden will happily let migrant rapist gangs roam the street but when someone gets into a fight that’s taking it too far.

They should throw some time for beating up on them and it's on video 5 on 2 isn't self defense it's an attack.

Why are they even giving this thug special attention? Superstar, multi-platinum, blah, blah, blah. It’s all bullshit.

Nobody cares. Follow the rules, and you're good.

where’s Kanye...

Let this clown stay in jail

Prosecutors allege the platinum selling artist whose real name is Rakim Mayers and two members of his entourage ' deliberately , together and in agreement ' attacked the victim ,Mustafa Jafri , in the Swedish capital on June 30.

Celebrity entertainers rallied to the rapper's cause and Donald Trump publicly demanded his release.

US rapper and two members of the entourage accused of attack in the Swedish capital on June 30.

Maybe Dennis Rodman can intervene?

Remember the Sweden used to do to African natives. History repeating itself.

Trump supporters will be boycotting Swedish fish.

realDonaldTrump So why is the Racist in Chief so interested in his case? THE OBESE OPPRESSOR NEVER DOES ANYTHING THAT HE DOESN’T SOMEHOW BENEFIT FROM.

Don't expect any help from that racist president Trump! CNNisFakeNews
