The concert of A$AP Rocky at Sónar, likely to be cancelled

A$AP Rocky, real name Rakim Mayers, has many possibilities of being arrested in Sweden next Friday, July 19, the day he had to perform at the Sónar festival in Barcelona (Spain) to present his album 'Testing', because of a fight in which he and his team participated.

According to A$AP Rocky in his Instagram account, two youngsters did not stop bothering him through the center of Stockholm, according to a video that has published 'TMZ', these young people seem to accuse A$AP Rocky and two others men having broken a set of headphones. In the video, what is shown below is A$AP Rocky and his team gives a brutal beating to both young people, one of them receives multiple kicks while standing on the ground. Lawyer A$AP Rocky assured ‘The New York Times’ that his client acted in self-defense.

For now, A$AP Rocky has already lost a big European festival, the Wireless in London, because he was arrested on Tuesday, July 3 as a suspected assault of a man on the street. The prosecutor's office has asked for two weeks to investigate the case and decide whether to bring it to trial, during which time A $ AP Rocky will be arrested. If the prosecutor's office considered that it was not enough time, it could take another two weeks.

In any case, if it is not extended, it would be released on Friday, July 19, and it is quite unlikely that he would act at Sónar de Barcelona the same day but not impossible. If the trial is carried out and he is convicted guilty, he could receive a sentence of up to six years in prison.

It is not the only time that Sónar has received the American urban music this edition. The other great name of this style in the Barcelona festival, Lil Uzi Vert, has cancelled his tour and has been replaced by Sheck Wes, author of the hit 'Mo Bamba'. The Sónar has not yet commented on the possible cancellation of the action of A$AP Rocky.
