G-Eazy said he's "grateful" to be free and safe after his arrest in Stockholm, Sweden last week for assault and drug possession while partying with his girlfriend Halsey. The rapper was convicted this past weekend, but was released and is now in Copenhagen, Denmark continuing his "Beautiful and Damned" tour.

He wrote in his caption that he is "Grateful & blessed to be free & safe. Happy to be in Copenhagen tonight doing what I love most. Embarrassed & apologetic beyond words about the incident, but above all I’m so f*cking grateful they let me go, craziest experience of my life, awful night with a lot of bad luck and some even worse decisions but like I said I’m grateful as f*ck to be a free man, back on tour performing for the fans."

After a club performance last Wednesday, the musician reportedly started a brawl when a fan asked to take pictures of him, and continued doing so when he refused. During the fight, he hit a member of the club's security team multiple times. When he was arrested, police officers found cocaine in his pocket

G-Eazy reportedly paid around $9,000 for his crimes as well as $800 in restitution to the security guard. He avoided jail time but will be on probation for the next two years.

He finished the caption by saying, "Thank you to everyone who’s held me down along the way and supported this journey, I appreciate you more than you’ll ever know. Love."
