Rapper A$AP Rocky has been arrested in Stockholm, Sweden after he and his entourage allegedly assaulted two men.

Video of the incident went viral Tuesday, with Rocky sharing his own footage of the encounter on Instagram.

“So a few drug addicts are not my fans, we don’t know these guys and we didn’t want trouble,” he wrote. “They followed us for 4 blocks, and they were slapping girl’s butts who passed, give me a break.”

A woman not seen in the video can also be heard telling Rocky that one of the men “slapped my ass and my girlfriend’s ass.”
