Rod Wave Released on Bond After Atlanta Arrest on Weapon and Drug Charges

His lawyers call it an unlawful stop by APD’s Crime Suppression Unit.

Overview

  • The rapper, born Rodarius Green, was arrested Nov. 7 by Atlanta police and booked into Fulton County Jail on counts including possession of a firearm during the commission of certain felonies, possession of Schedule II and Schedule V controlled substances, and reckless driving.
  • He made a first court appearance on Nov. 8, where an $8,000 bond was set, and he was released from custody later that day, according to court and jail records cited by multiple outlets.
  • The arrest came the same day he received his first Grammy nomination for “Sinners,” recognized in the Best Song Written for Visual Media category.
  • Attorneys Drew Findling, Marissa Goldberg and Zack Findling said he was unjustly profiled and tied the stop to APD’s Crime Suppression Unit, pledging to challenge the arrest in court.
  • This case follows prior 2025 Georgia arrests that his legal team has disputed, with new criminal proceedings now pending following the latest charges.
