<p>Earlier this week, the 30-year-old rapper detailed his side of the "scary" altercation that had led to his arrest.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>He told the court: "Everything seemed to be going fine. Next thing I know, my security guard was lifting one of them ... [it] got a little scary". </p>

<p>"Mustafa was fearless, his eyes were all weird, he came up to a big bodyguard and asked us questions he knew we couldn't answer. He looked like he was on drugs."</p>

<p>However, prosecutor Daniel Suneson has alleged that surveillance footage from a nearby restaurant was changed by the rapper's team to coincide with his self-defence claim. He says the unedited footage "disproves the use of emergency defence".</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Although he is a free man once more, A$AP and the two other suspects arrested alongside him may be taken into custody again, as a verdict on the case is not set to be made until August 14.</p>
