Was ASAP Rocky found guilty of assault?
Yes! The rapper and his co-defendants had been found guilty of assault following a Stockholm fight.
However, ASAP Rocky was given a suspended sentence and ordered to pay damages to the victim.
A court statement, read: "The assault has not been of such a serious nature that a prison sentence must be chosen.
"The defendants are therefore sentenced to conditional sentences."
ASAP and two members of his entourage, Bladimir Corniel and David Rispers, claimed to have acted in self-defence against two men who had been following their group.
Yet, the court said the three were "not in a situation where they were entitled to self-defence."
The 30-year-old rapper was arrested on July 3, 2019 on suspicion of assault after a video emerged showing him throwing a "pest" to the ground.
The shocking brawl footage - published in the US - was filmed in Stockholm and shows the Harlem-born star grabbing the man and tossing him several feet onto the street.

The star's pals and minders are then seen kicking and punching the "victim" as he struggles to stagger back to his feet outside a burger bar.
They then walkway with the man left lying in the gutter.
According to reports in Sweden, cops have spoken to the man who was left with cuts on both his arms.
ASAP - real name Rakim Meyers - was reportedly arrested at 1am that morning by officers in Sweden.
He returned home to the USA on Saturday, August 3, 2019 after a judge said he need not remain in custody or the country ahead of his sentencing on August 14.
ASAP and his fellow accused pleaded not guilty to assault and claimed they acted out of self-defence.
However, Prosecutor Daniel Suneson told the Stockholm District Court the actions of the three accused could not be seen as self-defence as he demanded a six-month prison sentence.
He said: "We have three people who throw out punches and kicks against a person who is lying down. Their violence is clearly indefensible."
When was ASAP Rocky released from jail?
ASAP was charged with assault causing actual bodily harm in Sweden but was released from prison in August, 2019.
President Donald Trump shared a tweet to announce he had been freed, with him writing: "ASAP Rocky released from prison and on his way home to the United States from Sweden. It was a Rocky Week, get home ASAP ASAP!"
The star pleaded not guilty to assault and his trial started on July 30 in Stockholm.
ASAP was arrested in Stockholm in early July. The two men arrested alongside him were also been charged with assault.
His arrest followed a fight that was captured on video, with ASAP claiming he had acted in self-defence against men who were following his group.
He told the court: "After a while, my security guard started pushing him away, begging him to leave.
"Me and my crew told them that, listen, don't go where we are going, go the other way, we don't want any trouble."
He added: "I assumed that these guys were under the influence of some kind of drug."
If ASAP was found guilty of his charges he faced up to two years behind bars.
On August 5, it was announced by organisers for the Real Street Festival that ASAP was set to grace the stage and perform at the event, which took place at Honda Center Grounds in Anaheim, California on August 11.
The show was ASAP's last performance before he heard the verdict in relation to the assault trial.
“We are elated that Rocky is finally coming home and will be taking the stage to headline our first Real Street Fest this weekend, as originally planned," Doc Wynter, Executive Vice President of Urban/Hip Hop at iHeartMedia said at the time of the announcement.
"In the interim, Godspeed to Rocky and his family. We can’t wait to hear the crowd erupt for Rocky this Sunday night at The Honda Center Festival Grounds!”
Did Donald Trump help get ASAP Rocky released from prison?
The President of the United States spoke to Swedish Prime Minister Stefan Löfven about ASAP Rocky's case.
Following their discussion, Donald Trump shared a tweet, which read: "Just had a very good call with @SwedishPM Stefan Löfven who assured me that American citizen ASAP Rocky will be treated fairly.
"Likewise, I assured him that ASAP was not a flight risk and offered to personally vouch for his bail, or an alternative."
However, it was later claimed Trump's bid to free ASAP Rocky could backfire, because Swedish prosecutors want to prove they're immune to political pressure.
A spokesperson for Lofven said the case "underlined that in Sweden everyone is equal before the law and that the government cannot and will not attempt to influence the legal proceedings."
ASAP's plight was brought to the president's attention by several people, including the first lady Melania Trump, and Kim Kardashian West.
Also, his case has garnered huge attention thanks to celebrities such as Justin Bieber, Shawn Mendes, Jada Pinkett Smith, Nicki Minaj and Post Malone.
