A$AP Rocky is currently being held in jail in Sweden, after a fight with two men he claimed were harassing him.
And G-Eazy has joined the string of celebrities blasting the situation, demanding justice for the 30-year-old.
The No Limit rapper was arrested in Sweden himself last year, after he was found with cocaine and got into a fight with a bouncer – but was released from jail just a day and a half later.
Taking to Instagram, he shared a screenshot of an article comparing their arrests, with the headline reading they had been treated ‘way differently’.
Agreeing with the post, the 30-year-old told his 8million followers: ‘Facts. This is the sad truth…The difference between me and Rocky’s treatment and process in Sweden brings to mind two concepts that disgustingly go hand in hand: white privilege and systemic racism.
‘Let’s call it what it is.
‘He should not be behind bars right now. My heart goes out to my brother @asaprocky and his team.
‘We’re riding for yall. #JusticeForRocky #FreeRocky.’
A$AP, real name Rakim Mayers, was detained following a fight with two men who he claims wouldn’t stop following him, and harassing his entourage.
The Praise The Lord rapper has been in police custody for two weeks after handing himself in – with reports suggesting he could still be held for another week.
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have lobbied Donald Trump on the matter, with the president confirming he would be getting involved personally.
‘Just spoke to @KanyeWest about his friend A$AP Rocky’s incarceration,’ he tweeted.
‘I will be calling the very talented Prime Minister of Sweden to see what we can do about helping A$AP Rocky. So many people would like to see this quickly resolved!’
‘A$AP Rocky is a situation in Sweden,’ he added to reporters. ‘Sweden’s a great country and they’re friends of mine, the leadership, and we are going to be calling, we’ll be talking to them, we’ve already started.
‘Many, many members of the African-American community have called me, friends of mine, and said “Could you help?”.
‘I personally don’t know A$AP Rocky but I can tell you that he has tremendous support from the African-American community in this country and when I say African-American, I think I can really say from everybody in this country because we are all one.
‘Actually the one who knew about A$AP Rocky was our first lady, right? She was telling me about “Can you help A$AP Rocky?”‘
Melania added: ‘We are working with the state department and we hope to get him home soon.’
