Overview

• A federal complaint filed September 30 alleges Rod Wave accepted large advances for his Last Lap tour but failed to complete 9 of 35 contracted shows.
• Grizzly Touring says it guaranteed $40.25 million, fronted more than $57 million overall, and that Rod Wave earned about $29.9 million from 26 completed dates.
• The promoter asks for more than $27 million in damages, plus lost profits, legal fees, and a court order blocking new tours without its involvement.
• The suit claims unreturned advances were spent on private jets and a second home and accuses the artist of violating an exclusivity clause by planning independently promoted shows.
• Rod Wave’s legal team disputes the claims, arguing the contract became invalid due to alleged unilateral, last‑minute schedule changes, while Grizzly attributes delays to the artist’s production choices.
