The rapper was arrested by Swedish authorities on suspicion of aggravated assault after his appearance at Smash festival in Stockholm.

Though the charge has been reduced from aggravated assault to assault, the Swedish Prosecution Authority has decided to detain Rocky for a further two weeks following a detention hearing.

If convicted, the rapper could face up to six years in prison.
