STOCKHOLM — When the rapper ASAP Rocky played an arena show in Stockholm on Wednesday night, it was the first time he had been to Sweden since August, when he was convicted over his part in a street brawl — a case that drew international attention when President Donald Trump got involved.“If I was ASAP Rocky, I wouldn’t have,” Afrodite Kindtoft, 21, said with a laugh outside the golf ball-shaped Ericsson Globe, before the show there.
Trump’s focus on the case was also mentioned in the impeachment hearings last month when an official from the United States Embassy in Kyiv, Ukraine, testified that he had overheard a phone call in which Gordon Sondland, the American ambassador to the European Union, advised Trump to wait for Rocky to be sentenced, and then “play the racism card” and “give him a ticker-tape when he comes home.”
Nicholas Ringskog Ferrada-Noli, a music critic for Swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter, said in a telephone interview that he did not know of any shows that had been canceled because of Rocky’s case. At the start of December, the rapper asked Sweden’s probation service for permission to play a show at a detention center . He also promised to donate some of the arena concert’s proceeds to a charity that works with migrants, having met several refugees while in detention.
