A$AP Rocky, real name Rakim Mayers, and two of
his entourage, were convicted on Aug. 14 of kicking and beating
a 19-year-old man after an argument. They had told the court
they acted in self defense.
"Given the headache and the stress this process has meant he has
decided he doesn't have the strength to do this one more time,"
Slobodan Jovicic told TT news agency.
The prosecutor said last week he would not launch an appeal to
push for a tougher sentence.
The three men were allowed to fly home last month without
serving a jail sentence - an outcome cheered by U.S. President
Donald Trump who had asked Sweden's prime minister to intervene
in the case.
