ASAP Rocky was still in a Swedish jail as of Friday afternoon, awaiting possible charges related to an alleged assault, though that may change soon after the Trump administration said it may get involved in seeking his release.
Rocky's managers have said the musician acted to protect himself. TMZ posted a video on July 2 that the site claimed shows Rocky attempting to calm things down immediately before the incident.
Fans of the rapper have been begging for the help of President Donald Trump to bring the American musician home after authorities in Sweden extended his time behind bars.
President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump addressed the fans' concerns in a press conference on Friday, shared by ABC News on Twitter.
Some celebrities who have reached out to the White House in support of the detained rapper were Kim Kardashian West and her husband, Kanye West — both of whom have previously met with Trump on other matters. The pair brought their concerns to the president last week, according to an article by TMZ that Kardashian West shared on Twitter.
Between the governmental support and celebrity endorsement, ASAP Rock has a full team behind him, also including Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, Jared Kushner, and New York 13th Congressional District Representative Adriano Espaillat, according to TMZ and ABC.

He should’ve said he was muslim and the swedes would’ve let him off.
Trump’s doing racism wrong again.
This should be an interesting thread.
A$AP sprung, but “Send Her Back” disavowed..?
Best Prez in US history but a mile, but eh...
I still notice, ya know..?
There could be legal reasons for the latter event. Not sure yet.
We were all so worried, right..?
I have heard the Swedish prison system is one of the nicest places to be locked up anywhere. A fine example of a “gilded cage.” They even let the prisoners go on camping trips in the far northern part of the country, at this time of the year. It makes me wonder why Rocky wants to leave, and why his fans want so much to have him sprung.
Continuing to build support with the “Wests”, who like it or not are big influencers to groups of people who Trump could benefit from.
His assisting this US Citizen will be considered full blown racism.
Meanwhile we have a couple dozen men rotting in Leavenworth as Obunghole’s sacrifices to islam...
Trump needs to rescue “Tommy Robinson”.
Do you know if Ramos and Campeon are still imprisoned?

How awful! Look what those evil Swedes did to his neck and to his hair.
Suckin’ up 2 blacks?
*** Do you know if Ramos and Campeon are still imprisoned? ***
Sentences commuted by GW Bush 2009.
“Suckin’ up 2 blacks?”
Some classic FR stupidity on display.
He’s an American that got tossed into jail after trying to get some refugee to leave him and his friends alone while they were visiting. He eventually had to smack down the idiot that wouldn’t leave him be, and he has been in jail since.
But yeah, FR. Some dumb black dude, amirite? Leave him in jail in a foreign nation because he isnt a pretty white girl or something. THEN many of the complainers here would be crying to get her out of jail for just trying to protect herself.
