There’s been a whole lot of happenings in the A$AP Rocky saga lately, and now the infamous Justin Bieber and Donald Trump have joined the fray.

In case you missed the endlessly ongoing news, A$AP Rocky was arrested after a fight in Stockholm, and has been in a Swedish prison ever since.

Then, his manager’s hotel room was raided by Swedish police.

Celebrities have all gathered on social media to voice their outrage, some even vowing to boycott Sweden for good, under the hashtag #FreeA$AP. Fans have even signed a petition that is currently 620,000 strong, urging Swedish officials to free the famous rapper.

When all hope was lost, however, everyone’s favourite lawyer-to-be Kim Kardashian West, and her husband Kanye, stepped in, lobbying the White House and writing to President Donald Trump to take action.

And apparently, their efforts were not wasted, and after talks with the President, it seems action will soon be made.

Donald Trump took to Twitter to announce that he will be calling the “very talented Prime Minister of Sweden” in order to discuss pressing international matters, such as the freedom of A$AP Rocky, immediately. Or, as soon as possible.

Since then Twitter has been ablaze, calling out Trump for his hypocrisies, and accusing him of trying to make face with the greater public.

One such person who wasn’t having any of it was Canada’s very own Justin Bieber, who took to Twitter to @ Donald Trump directly.

Check out Bieber’s response below:

Bieber’s response is a resounding echo of what everyone is essentially shouting at their screens.

Trump has an ongoing reputation for ignoring what is essentially torture of migrant children in detention centres and on the borders.

Although it is unlikely that Trump will take note of Bieber’s tweet, it will definitely be interesting to see if any action can be done by his hand in regards to the incarceration of A$AP.
