Rocky was previously involved in a high-profile legal battle in 2019 when he was convicted of assault after being involved in a street fight in Stockholm, Sweden. The rapper, who was facing up to two years in prison, did not face jail time but had to pay a fine to the victim.

Rocky and Rihanna are expecting their first child together, they confirmed in January.
