The alleged victim is requesting 139,000 Swedish crown — about $14,500 in U.S. currency — in damages related to an assault in early July.
ASAP Rocky began trial in Sweden on Tuesday. The rapper, whose birth name is Rakim Mayers, and two other men from his camp entered a not guilty plea in regards to an assault of a man in Stockholm in early July.
It is unclear if Rocky will be extradited to the U.S. or serve time in a Swedish detention center if convicted. However, prosecutors claimed surveillance footage taken from nearby local security cameras and witnesses' phones painted a different story of Rocky allegedly throwing Jafari on the ground before punching and kicking him with the help of the other men.
