Nicki Minaj, T.I, and other Hip Hop Stars Speak Out against the Imprisonment of Asap Rocky in Sweden

Since his incarceration, Asap manager Chace Infinite has spoken about the inhumane conditions that the rapper is in. “Some of the inhumane conditions Rocky and his colleagues are facing at the Stockholm Detention Center include 24/7 solitary confinement, restriction of amenities for the most basic of human functions, access to palatable and life-sustaining food as well as unsanitary conditions,” he said.

“Upon being detained, Rocky was denied his request to counsel which is in violation of Article 36 of the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations, to which Sweden is a signatory,” Infinite stated. “Everyone has the same rights to be treated fairly upon detainment and should be given fair and equal access to such rights.” The bottom line, Infinite says “the conditions of the facility are horrific.”

Several Hip Hop celebrities such as Nicki Minaj, School Boy Q, and Tyler the Creator have spoken up for Asap Rocky. 2 Chainz wrote “Free @asvpxrocky!!! We targeted all over the world shit crazy.”
