Overview
- Rod Wave filed the countersuit in Florida on Oct. 12–13, denying liability in Grizzly Touring’s $27 million lawsuit over the curtailed Last Lap arena run.
- He asks the court to void the deal’s exclusivity and deny injunctive relief so he can self-promote a December, seven-city Redemption Experience tour tied to his new single “Leavin.”
- His filing alleges production, routing and last-minute rescheduling made completion “logistically impossible,” with only 12 of 35 shows occurring as originally announced.
- The countersuit further claims Grizzly’s parent attempted an under-the-table payment to his former agent to secure five-tour exclusivity, an allegation raised to support voiding the contract.
- Grizzly says it guaranteed $40.25 million, advanced tens of millions, and that Wave performed 26 shows and owes $27 million, assertions he disputes while citing nearly $30 million earned from completed dates.
