American rapper and singer, Rod Wave, was reportedly arrested briefly in Atlanta on Monday in connection with an incident from 21 April.
The 25-year-old rapper, born Rodarius Marcell Green, is facing 13 felony counts, 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 that same day after posting surety bonds.
While authorities have not confirmed the details of the alleged incident, online speculation linked the case to Mini Barbie, also known as Nari, Rod Wave’s current girlfriend.
Unverified social media chatter suggested he may have fired at her or her vehicle, but police have not publicly addressed those claims.
This arrest adds to Rod Wave’s prior run-ins with the law. In 2022, he faced a battery charge stemming from a domestic dispute, which was later dropped.
In 2024, he was arrested in Florida on a firearm-related charge. However, that case was dismissed after his legal team argued he was misidentified as a convicted felon. His attorneys at the time said there was “absolutely no evidence of wrongdoing.”
