Rod Wave’s legal team is speaking out following reports that the "Heart on Ice" rapper was arrested in Georgia on Tuesday (May 20) on multiple charges.
According to jail records shared by The Shade Room, Rod Wave—real name Rodarius Green—was booked on 14 charges, including aggravated assault and possession of a firearm. He was also charged with aiming a pistol at another person, reckless conduct, criminal damage to property, obstruction of law enforcement, evidence tampering, conspiracy to commit a felony, and simple assault.
The charges stem from an April 21 incident in which Rod and his realtors reportedly returned to his residence following a burglary. Police say an argument conspired between Rod and an associate, during which a semiautomatic pistol was fired 14 times. Eleven rounds struck a 2025 Mercedes G-Wagon belonging to one of Rod's associates, one hit Rod’s own 2022 Rolls-Royce, and another pierced the wall of his home. The 14th round has not yet been recovered.
Rod was released the same day after posting a $50,000 bond.
His attorneys, Drew Findling and Marissa Goldberg, issued a statement to Pitchfork disputing the allegations:
“There is no truth to these charges. Rod Green was a victim of a burglary and committed no crimes. How he was even charged as a result of this situation is incomprehensible. This will absolutely be resolved favorably to Mr. Green.”
