In July 2019, Mayers was arrested initially foraggravated,then for simpleassaultinStockholm,Sweden,after an altercation in the street against a man named Mustafa Jafari and another person that involved Mayers and three of his entourage on June 30.[150][151][152]Jafari was beaten, kicked, and cut with broken bottles when down on the ground.[153]He suffered several cuts, requiring stitches, and a fractured rib.[154]Mayers uploaded two videos of the incident toInstagram.In the first, he and his entourage repeatedly ask two young men, including Jafari, to stop following them as the latter complains about his headphones.[155]In the other, created from footage of assorted events, Jafari's headphones break during a scuffle, and he is seen hitting Mayers’ bodyguard with them. A woman is also seen in the video, accusing the two men ofgroping.[156][157]Henrik Olsson Lilja, the defense attorney for Mayers, maintained that his client acted in self-defense after being attacked by Jafari.[158]

Mayers’ bodyguard filed a counter-complaint against Jafari,[159]and Jafari was initially suspected of harassment and minor assault or possibly attempted assault.[160]The investigation against Jafari was dropped as prosecutors said he acted in self-defense, after being grabbed by the neck and pushed by the bodyguard.[161][162]Mayers was arrested after being allowed to finish his gig at Stadion.[163][164]As it was judged there was a risk that he may flee or tamper with evidence, he was kept in custody atKronoberg Remand Prisonuntil the trial,[165][166][167]with two members of his entourage also under arrest.[168]Mayers’ ongoing tour was then put on hiatus due to the trial.[169]

Mayers was convicted of assault, given asuspended prison sentenceand asked to pay 12,500 kr ($1,270) indamagesto the victim.[177]The court could not decide who used the bottle, but said it was not a case of self-defense.[178]As Mayers had already served over a month in jail for the incident before the sentence was handed out, it was determined that he did not need to serve any additional time.[179]The conviction does not bar him from returning to Sweden.[180]

Shooting in Hollywood

On April 20, 2022, Mayers was arrested byLAPDofficers upon arriving to theLos Angeles International Airportafter a vacation with his partner, Rihanna. He was arrested for a potential assault with a deadly weapon in a shooting that took place in Hollywood on November 6, 2021.[181][182]The shooting victim, who survived the incident, was reported to be former friend and collaborator Terell Ephron, better known asASAP Relli.[183]Bail was set at $550,000 and he was released shortly after.[182][181]

After his arrest, detectives executed a warrant to search his home, gaining entry by using a pry bar to force the gate open. Detectives took several boxes from his home to use as evidence.[184]On August 15, 2022, theLos Angeles County District Attorney's office filed charges against Mayers.[185]

On 20 November 2023, a Los Angeles judge, M.L. Villar, determined that there was sufficient evidence for Mayers to stand trial after hearing roughly a day and a half of testimony from two witnesses during a preliminary court hearing.[186][183]The same day, Villar scheduled for his trial proceedings to begin on 8 January 2024.[183]On 8 January 2024, Mayers entered a plea of not guilty, with his next court hearing scheduled to be held on 6 March 2024.[187]The following date, however, Mayers missed his hearing.[188][189]During a court hearing which took place on 23 May 2024, Mayers had his trial set to start on 21 October 2024.[190]Two preliminary court hearings were also set for 28 June and 2 August.[190]On 21 October 2024, a judge ruled that jury selection would be pushed back to 12 November 2024.[191]The next day, however, another pretrial hearing was held where the trial start date was again pushed back, this time to 21 January 2025.[192][193]
