Lawyer reacts as Swedish court extends US rapper ASAP Rocky's detention The lawyer for rapper ASAP Rocky, Slobodan Jovicic, calls the court's decision disproportionate, after a Stockholm court ordered that the US rapper should be kept in custody in Sweden for another week while an investigation is completed into an alleged assault during a street brawl. Fans and fellow artists have campaigned on social media for the 30-year-old artist, whose real name is Rakim Mayers, to be freed since his arrest shortly after midnight on July 3 following the street fight on June 30.
