Rod Wave Arrested on Gun Charge in Atlanta, Faces Multiple Legal Issues
ATLANTA, GEORGIA – Rapper Rod Wave, known for his emotional storytelling and chart-topping tracks, was reportedly arrested in Atlanta on Friday, November 7, on a gun charge along with other alleged offenses. The reports, which surfaced through DJ Akademiks’ Instagram and public records, indicate that the “Leavin” artist also faces charges of reckless driving and possession of a controlled substance.
Details surrounding the arrest remain scarce, and Rod Wave has not publicly addressed the situation. At press time, it is unclear exactly what led to the arrest or the circumstances involved. These new legal troubles come as Rod Wave is in the midst of preparing for a new album, having recently released singles and collaborations like “Voicemail.”
This incident adds to a growing list of legal challenges for Rod Wave. He is currently embroiled in a $27 million lawsuit with his former promoter, Grizzly Touring LLC, over alleged breach of contract related to his “Last Lap” tour. Rod Wave has filed a countersuit, claiming the promoter tried to force continued collaboration despite unresolved issues during the tour. Grizzly Touring, in response, has shifted blame to Rod Wave’s team and is seeking to recoup their financial losses.
Despite these setbacks, Rod Wave recently received positive news: his song “Sinners,” featured in the film of the same name, has earned him his first Grammy nomination for Best Song Written for Visual Media. This marks a significant milestone in his career as he awaits the outcome of both his legal battles and the Grammy Awards.
As more information about the alleged arrest becomes available, fans and the hip hop community will be watching closely to see how these legal and professional developments unfold for the Florida rapper.
