Seven years ago, the world star was arrested over an assault in Stockholm, which made headlines around the world - and prompted statements from Donald Trump.

A$AP Rocky, whose real name is Rakim Mayers, received a suspended sentence and was anything but happy with his time in Swedish custody.

On Monday, he was on stage in Sweden again and alluded to the incident several times. Among other things, he called himself “the best rapper to have been imprisoned in Sweden” and got the audience to chant against “strange people with power and their strange laws,” reports SR Kulturnytt.

At the same time, he praised the Swedish audience, architecture and Swedish House Mafia, according to SVT's review.
