Hey, Kimye have friends in high places ... all the way to President Trump in the White House! So when friend and fellow rapper A$AP Rocky was arrested and jailed in Sweden, Kanye and his wife went all the way to the top to try to help. The power couple have reportedly "lobbied" the President to help with A$AP's release after being held now for two weeks on assault charges.
Most would argue the rapper is being held unfairly in relation to a street fight captured on video on June 30. After A$AP's bodyguard tried to fend off an oddly aggressive fan, Rocky eventually stepped in to tell the dude to get away.
So Kim reportedly picked up the phone and called Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner to see what he could do. Seems Ivanka's hubby wasn't too busy negotiating peace in the Middle East, so he said he'd help but was unable to connect with A$AP's peeps. Come on, Rocky, tell your staff to answer the damn phone when the White House calls!
The State Department previously raised concerns about Rocky's detention, urging Sweden to treat the rapper "fairly." Reports claim he's being held in solitary confinement.
A$AP's lawyer Alan Jackson, says, "President Trump has made bringing home unjustly held Americans a top priority for his administration. The State Department's interest in the case gives us great hope for Rocky's situation."
