Rapper ASAP Rocky has been arrested in Sweden following an alleged fight, days before he is due to headline the Wireless music festival.
The New York-born hip-hop star, 30, who is booked to perform at the event in London on Sunday, is alleged to have been involved in a fight in Stockholm on Sunday.
A spokeswoman for the Swedish Prosecution Authority said: “I can confirm that he is arrested, suspected of gross assault after an incident in Stockholm on Sunday. Two other persons are also arrested for gross assault.”
A video published by US showbiz website TMZ appears to show ASAP Rocky, whose real name is Rakim Mayers, throwing a punch at another man in the street.
In another video posted to the rapper’s Instagram account, ASAP Rocky alleged two men had been following him and his team through Stockholm, accusing them of attacking his security with headphones.
Wireless has been contacted for comment.
