‘Grateful & Blessed To Be Free’ – Rapper, G-Eazy Apologizes To Fans For His Arrest

American rapper, G-Eazy, who was arrested in Sweden last week for assault and drug possession has apologized to fans for his behaviour.

The 28-year-old rapper was arrested in Stockholm and charged with “assaulting an officer, violent resistance, and illegal drug possession”.

G-Eazy whose real name is Gerald Gillum was convicted of assault, drug possession and resisting arrest following a nightclub brawl in Stockholm in the early hours of Thursday morning.

He was sentenced to two years probation and ordered to pay 80,000 krona (about $9,000) for his crimes, as well as 6,500 krona (about $810) restitution to the security guard he was accused of assaulting, a courtroom source told People.

It was also alleged that the rapper was carrying 1.5 grams of cocaine in his pocket at the time of his arrest as well as a ‘rolled up $100 bill’, which police claim has drug residue on it.

Sharing a black and white photo of himself, after his release, he apologized to his fans and says he’s happy to be a free man.

He wrote: ‘Grateful & blessed to be free & safe. Happy to be in Copenhagen tonight doing what I love most.’

‘Embarrassed & apologetic beyond words about the incident, but above all I’m so fucking grateful they let me go, craziest experience of my life, awful night with a lot of bad luck and some even worse decisions but like I said I’m grateful as fuck to be a free man, back on tour performing for the fans.’

‘Thank you to everyone who’s held me down along the way and supported this journey, I appreciate you more than you’ll ever know. Love.’
