July 12, 2019 - Rapper Tyga has joined the growing movement to free Asap Rocky from Swedish authorities, cancelling his show in the country in protest.
Asap Rocky's detention has sparked outrage among fans and fellow rappers, with many calling for his release. The rapper was arrested in Stockholm, Sweden after a violent altercation with two pedestrians.
According to reports, Asap Rocky's status as a rapper has been cited as a reason for his detention, with authorities claiming he is a flight risk. However, many in the music industry are pushing back against this decision, with several rappers cancelling tours and shows in Sweden until Asap Rocky is released.
Earlier this week, rappers Tyler the Creator and Schoolboy Q were among the first to speak out against Asap Rocky's detention, with many more joining the movement since then.
Meanwhile, Tyga has released a new song, 'The Light Skin Lil Wayne', which pays tribute to Lil Wayne, who signed Tyga to his Young Money Entertainment Group back in the early 2010s.
The song's music video features Tyga re-creating some of Lil Wayne's most iconic songs, including 'A Milli' and 'Lollipop'. The video is a visual treat for fans of Lil Wayne, and showcases Tyga's unique style.
