US rapper A$AP Rocky pleaded not guilty to assault at his trial in
Sweden Tuesday over a street brawl, saying he acted in self-defence in a case that has stirred diplomatic tensions and outraged fans.
The 30-year-old rapper, whose real name is Rakim Mayers, was arrested on July 3 along with three other people following the fight in Stockholm on June 30.
One of them, the rapper's bodyguard, was later released.
