The 25-year-old artist, whose real name is Rodarius Marcell Green, is facing 13 felony charges, including aggravated assault, possession of a firearm during a felony, pointing a gun at another person, criminal damage to property, reckless conduct, and tampering with evidence, according to arrest documents obtained by AllHipHop.
He was released later the same day after posting surety bonds.
Authorities have not confirmed the details of the alleged incident. However, online speculation has linked the case to Mini Barbie, also known as Nari, who is reportedly Rod Wave’s current girlfriend. Unverified social media reports suggested that he may have fired at her or her vehicle, but police have not publicly addressed these claims.
This arrest follows previous legal issues for Rod Wave. In 2022, he faced a battery charge related to a domestic dispute, which was later dropped. In 2024, he was arrested in Florida on a firearm-related charge, but that case was dismissed after his legal team argued that he had been misidentified as a convicted felon. His attorneys at the time stated there was “absolutely no evidence of wrongdoing.”
