Who is A$AP Rocky and why does he have Trump's attention?

Описание: The trial of the US rapper A$AP Rocky has begun in Sweden after he was accused of assaulting a 19-year-old in Stockholm. Donald Trump has rallied behind the artist and also addressed the Swedish prime minister directly about the case. The US president was encouraged by Kim Kardashian West to take action to free Rocky, who has insisted he was acting in self-defence.
