Rod Wave arrested in Florida in April 2024 for possession of ammunition or a weapon. The arrest occurred on the suspicion of his involvement in a gang-related shooting that resulted in four injuries. Authorities reported that gunfire erupted during a verbal altercation among a group of males, resulting in non-life-threatening injuries to three men and one woman.
In 2022, he was arrested and accused with violence by strangulation in Florida. He was charged with strangling a former girlfriend while their two children were present in the residence. The allegation was subsequently dismissed, as his attorney attributed the event to a “misunderstanding” between him and his former partner.
Rod Wave recently released the main track from the successful film “Sinners” and his sixth studio album, “Last Lap,” in October 2024.
Rod Wave’s legal representatives have asserted that the list of charges is “unfounded.”
Rod Green was a burglary victim and did not commit any crimes. The rationale behind his charges in this situation is unfathomable. The lawyers stated, “This will undoubtedly be resolved favourably for Mr. Green.”
Throughout his career, Wave has produced six studio albums. Five have attained the No. 1 position on Billboard’s U.S. rap chart, while three have achieved No. 1 on the overall Billboard 200.
