A$AP Rocky played his first show since being released from jail after being arrested and charged with assault in Sweden last month. Rocky was allowed to leave Sweden while awaiting a verdict for the case, which he is due to hear on Wednesday, August 14.
The Harlem rapper headlined Anaheim, California's Real Street Fest and brought a number of guests including A$AP Ferg, YG, and Tyler, the Creator, who performed "Who Dat Boy."
During his set, Rocky also spoke on his time being detained in Sweden.

"Y'all know how happy I am to be here right now, I wanna say this though. When I was away what I experienced was crazy.... It was a scary, humbling experience but I'm here right now. God is good. People who ain't even fuck with me felt sympathy," he said. "People was praying for me, that uplifted me when my spirits was low. I can't thank y'all enough, man, that was crazy. Hip-hop never looked so strong together."
Rocky could face a sentence of up to two years for the assault case. The prosecution is seeking a 6-10 month jail sentence if he's convicted.
