A$AP Rocky<\/a> and his cohorts shoot down some literal pigs in the new video for \u201cBabushka Boi.\u201d The Harlem rapper debuted the song live on his Injured Generation Tour earlier this year.<\/p>\n

Directed by Nadia Lee Cohen and inspired by Dick Tracy<\/em>, the \u201cBabushka Boi\u201d video sees Rocky, A$AP Ferg<\/a>, ScHoolboy Q<\/a>, A$AP Nast and Kamil Abbas cast as Depression-era gangsters, wearing stylized facial prosthetics that exaggerate the cartoonish quality of the clip. But that\u2019s nothing compared to the video\u2019s villains \u2013 the cops \u2013 dressed up as anthropomorphic pigs. Rocky and his gang flee from the oinking feds after pulling off a heist, and their Looney Toons car chase eventually leads to a good old-fashioned shoot-out. At the video\u2019s end, we\u2019re left with one question: does A$AP Rocky think that burgers usually contain pork?<\/p>\n

\u201cBabushka Boi\u201d was set to be released earlier this summer, but was pushed back due to A$AP Rocky\u2019s arrest, detainment and eventual guilty verdict<\/a> in Sweden for assault. The rapper faces no jail time, but has been ordered to pay damages to the victim. The news caught the attention<\/a> of President Trump himself, who announced he would be calling the Prime Minister of Sweden to \u201csee what we can do about helping A$AP Rocky\u201d prior to the guilty verdict. Sweden\u2019s Prime Minister Stefan Lofven responded that he could not interfere in the rapper\u2019s case.<\/p>\n

During the trial, prosecutors argued that Rocky and two other men assaulted a man, though the court determined conflicted evidence prevented them from deciding if a bottle was thrown at the victim \u2013  a key part to the prosecution\u2019s case.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, Swedish prosecutors announced that they would not appeal the verdict. \u201cI have accepted the District Court\u2019s evaluation of the evidence, in as much as the use of whole or broken bottles during the assault has not been proven,\u201d prosecutor Daniel Suneson said in a statement. \u201cAfter due consideration, I have chosen not to appeal the verdict.\u201d<\/p>\n
