Four lawmakers have joined the list of celebrities, hip-hop artists and fans calling for the release of A$AP Rocky , an American rapper who has been held in Swedish prison since July 2 for his alleged involvement in a street fight in Stockholm.

Rocky, whose legal name is Rakim Mayers, traveled to Sweden as part of hip-hop group A$AP Mobs European tour.

He has been held by court order for more than two weeks while Swedish police investigate the case. Prosecutors are expected to make a decision Friday, with several possible outcomes.

There are three scenarios that could take place, a spokeswoman for the Swedish prosecutors office told ABC News . The prosecutor could request to dismiss the charges, [or] second, press charges, or the prosecutor could request more time for their investigation.

The rapper posted Instagram videos on the day of the fight that show two men following him. Rocky can be heard trying to defuse the situation, repeatedly asking them to stop following him and stressing that he does not want trouble.
