A$AP Rocky’s first live performance since his arrest in Sweden proves he’s still got his cool showmanship, but it appears he’s also been humbled by the experience.

Rocky performed Sunday at the Honda Center in Anaheim, CA, where he was headlining the annual Real Street Festival — which also featured Cardi B, Future, Migos, 2 Chainz, Big Sean and a variety of other superstars.

While on stage, Rocky shared some of his experiences in Sweden with the crowd and thanked them for continued support.

“When I was in Sweden, I would listen to the radio, and I would hear my brother Ferg’s song, I wanna hear that song now!” Rocky demanded as Ferg graced the stage for his new single and a blend of collaborative, fan-favorite works including “Work,” “Plain Jane,” “No Limit,” and more.

According to Billboard, just before performing his final songs, Rocky thanked his supporters once more, opening up about his legal issues,

“I’m so happy to be here. I know y’all was praying for me, I’m not guilty ’n shit, but I’ll need y’all to keep praying for me. I get the verdict on Wednesday, hopefully I don’t go back to jail,” he continued, clarifying, “I got nothing against Swedish people. When I was locked up, it was Swedish people protesting outside the jails for me, standing up for me.”
