The family of A$AP Rocky have spoken of their anguish as the rapper remains in a Swedish prison on assault charges following a brawl in Stockholm on June 30.

In an interview with CBS This Morning on Wednesday, Rocky's cousin, Nikita Rispers, revealed that she cried after learning of the news.

Rispers' own son Dave was with Rocky at the time of the street fight, and was arrested on July 3 alongside the musician and his friend Bladimir Corniel.

'I couldn't eat, I couldn't sleep,' Rispers told the news network.

Her husband, David Rispers, was also interviewed on the morning program, and insisted that the trio would have been acting in self-defense after they were harassed by a man who followed them through the city.

'I don't know what else you can do to allow someone to stop,' he said.

The men are expected to learn on Thursday whether or not they will be released from prison, as prosecutors conclude their investigation.

Despite their anguish, Nikita and David Rispers say they're hopeful the trio will be cleared, and have thanked President Donald Trump for his diplomatic efforts to ensure the group's release.

'For him to actually hear what they were saying, and then doing something about it… that made me feel proud,' Rispers stated.

Last week, President Trump personally vouched for Rocky during a call with Sweden's Prime Minister Stefan Löfven.

Löfven previously acknowledged that Trump 'has a personal interest in the case' and said he would welcome a conversation with the U.S. president, but stressed that Rocky would not receive special treatment.

There are now fears that the pressure from Trump could compel Swedish prosecutors to go even harder on Rocky to prove that they won't be swayed.

Meanwhile, the man who attacked Rocky and his entourage will not face charges from Swedish prosecutors despite video of the incident which shows him persistently harassing the rapper before a brawl broke out.

Prosecutors believe the man filmed harassing Rocky's crew after being asked to stop following them attacked his bodyguard in self-defense, according to TMZ.

Amateur video of the incident does not show anyone taking physical action against the man, who has not been named, before he threw his headphones at Rocky's bodyguard.

Though Swedish authorities apparently believe the man was justified in his actions, they have also cleared the bodyguard.

Rocky, whose real name is Rakim Mayers, has now spent more than three weeks in jail. If convicted, the 30-year-old faces up to six years in Swedish prison.

Fans and fellow artists have launched a social media campaign for Rocky to be freed since his arrest.

Post Malone, Sean 'Diddy' Combs, Nicki Minaj, Meek Mill and Justin Bieber have taken to social media to voice their support for Rocky.

An online petition called #JusticeForRocky has garnered more than 600,000 signatures, and posters with the words 'Free ASAP Rocky ASAP' have been put up around Stockholm - where he was performing.
