Rapper Octavian has claimed he was beaten up by security guards, in Sweden, at his own show. The news comes in the wake of American rapper, A$AP Rocky‘s release from prison, in Sweden. The rapper has claimed that while appearing, at the Daze Days festival, in Stockholm, back in February, he was attacked by security guards.

Since the attack, the London-born rapper, Octavian has called the country’s authorities “a little bit racist”, following his own ordeal and the treatment of A$AP Rocky, who was released from prison on Friday the 2nd of August 2019.

Speaking on Tim Westwood TV, Octavian said: “Fuck Sweden. I walked into the venue at my own headline show with a cup in my hand. It had alcohol which wasn’t from the venue, it was from outside. I was going straight from my tour bus into the venue and we got beaten up.

“We got beaten up by the security at my own headline show. I’m not saying the people in Sweden are racist, but the authorities are a little bit racist. They’ve got a serious problem against black culture and rappers in general.”

The Londoner is due to return to Sweden, this weekend, as he is scheduled to play, at Way Out West festival, in Stockholm. Before A$AP Rocky’s troubles, in Sweden, Octavian referred to being attacked in Sweden, during his headline gig, at London Forum, back in March. He asked the crowd to give “a big middle finger to Sweden”, during his show.

The news comes after A$AP Rocky had been held in prison, in Stockholm, since the 3rd of July 2019, on suspicion of assault. He had been arrested following an altercation between the rapper’s entourage and another man. Rocky’s trial began last Wednesday, the 31st of July 2019. After pleading not guilty, Rocky was released, on Friday the 2nd of August 2019, until the verdict of the trial is announced. This is expected to be on the 14th of August 2019.
