It appears there was radio silence when rapper A$AP Rocky did not respond to the White House ASAP despite President Donald Trump cheering on his release from Swedish jail earlier this month.
they found Rocky guilty of assault but would not require him to serve any additional prison time,
It sounds like A$AP Rockhead has snubbed his greatest fan, Jared “Full Metal Jackass” Kushner.
I guess we can’t expect any Oval Office ass-kissing or presidential bro-hugs now. Thus proving beyond the shadow of a doubt A$AP is no Kanye, much less a Nugent or a (Kid) Rock.
The last thing A$AP Rocky wanted was the insulting, ham-fisted Trump interference in the Swedish Judicial process. A$AP Rocky is smart enough to understand that it probably angered a lot of people and could have made things a lot worse for him. So no, he has no reason to thank the Pestilent.
Oh, there’s a message.
Fuck. You.
He was convicted of aggravated assault and given a two-year suspended sentence. He also had to compensate the victim and pay his court costs and lawyer fees.
Trump: “Look at my African-American over here!”
Rocky:
Trump: “I am the Chosen One!”
Rocky:
Trump: “I just pooped myself!”
Maybe he thought “Everything Trump Touches Dies” … in a Swedish prison.
Waaaah! Our tame rapper didn’t call me. How will I ever get that hip-hop vote, now?
What was he supposed to thank Trump for? The Swedes told Trump to get lost.
After Rocky posted another message of gratitude after a panel of judges announced on August 14 that they found Rocky guilty of assault but would not require him to serve any prison time, Lanier and Scott said they were upset that there was no acknowledgement of the White House’s push for the rapper’s release.
Rocky was grateful that the judges were professional and level headed and ignored Trump’s insults to their country. If it had been Brazil the judges would have given him a life sentence just to spite Trump.
The monkey wrench in the gears for this simple act of courtesy is Donald J. Trump. Who wants to be spotlighted in his next venal tweet? Who wants any association?
Gee, a minority doesn’t want to kiss the ring of the white supremacist.
Somehow, I don’t find that surprising.
Importantly, and of great and profound interest to everyone, I’m sure … just what do Kim Kardashian and Kanye have to say about this apparent snub of the so-called president who went to bat for Rocky A$AP at their behest? And will they be able to ask any more favors from the chosen one?
Will the press ask the two advisers how the hell they think Trump helped?
Everything is transactional with this guy, even when the other side has received nothing of value.
OT but one of the things that came and went in the last couple of days: Trump was going to do some sort of agriculture trip but they abruptly canceled it because farmers are upset with things right now and they were afraid it would go bad.
I’m not a fan necessarily but did ASAP ever ask for himself or was it all Kim Kardashian and Kanye?
Since he was kinda locked up, doubt he was saying anything. And I’m sure nobody at the WH had ever heard of him, so they wouldn’t have picked up the phone.
The Lily-White House is upset?
Aw, poor babies!
And from what I can see, it’s the Swedish judicial system that A$AP should be thanking for not requiring any jail time for his assault conviction. An arrest warrant could make touring in Europe a little uncomfortable.
Besides, I am sure A$AP thought, “Hmmm. Do I kiss Trump’s balls publicly for something that would probably have happened anyway, or do I piss off a large percentage of my African-American fanbase that despises Donald Trump? Let me think about that for 3 1/2 seconds.”
Is it DJ Khalid who says:
Congratulations. You just played yo’self.
