A trial is currently underway, and despite Rocky's testimony that he was acting in self-defense, a prosecutor is recommending jail time.
Today, the prosecutors wrapped up their closing statements by recommending jail time for the rapper born Rakim Mayers. Specifically, they recommended at least a six-month jail sentence for the altercation.
The brawl reportedly took place after born 19-year-old Mustafa Jafari and his friend refused to leave the A$AP Rocky's entourage alone despite repeated requests. Apparently it started when they got into an argument at a restaurant near Stockholm.
Everyone from Kanye West to Donald Trump has spoken out for Swedish police to free Rocky. If the rapper does get locked up, it looks like Machine Gun Kelly won't be eating Swedish Fish for a while.
