In solidarity for fellow hiphop artist ASAP Rocky, artist Tyler, the Creator tweeted yesterday ”no more Sweden for me, ever.” It seems that also artist Schoolboy Q will be joining the boycott. What did Sweden do? ASAP Rocky is facing up to six years in prison for assault after an altercation with several fans, according to complex.com. (We know that won’t happen, ever.) ASAP was then denied bail as he was considered a flight risk (like the guy could slip out unnoticed?)
ASAP, and a slew of other hiphop giants, were in Stockholm for the Smash music festival. His concert was described as the festival’s high point.
