He posted a $50,000 bond on the same day of his arrest and secured his release.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cThere is no truth to these charges,\u201d Green\u2019s attorney Drew Findling tells Billboard<\/em>. \u201cRod Green was a victim of a burglary and committed no crimes. How he was even charged as a result of this situation is incomprehensible. This will absolutely be resolved favorably to Mr. Green.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tBillboard<\/em> has reached out to reps for Rod Wave and the Milton Police Department for comment.<\/p>\n \n\tOn the music side, Green has released a pair of singles in 2025 with \u201cWestside Connection\u201d and \u201cSinners,\u201d the latter of which was included on the Sinners<\/em> soundtrack and played in the final credits scene of the Ryan Coogler-directed blockbuster.<\/p>\n \n\tRod Wave\u2019s most recent album, Last Lap<\/em>, arrived in October 2024 and reached No. 2 on the Billboard 200. <\/a>The project featured assists from\u00a0Lil Baby,<\/a>\u00a0Lil Yachty<\/a>,\u00a0Rylo Rodriguez and more. <\/p>\n \n\tGreen was previously arrested on gun charges <\/a>in April 2024. He was charged with illegal possession of a weapon or ammo in Manatee County, Fla., as police tried to tie him to a gang-related shooting at a sports bar in St. Petersburg. According to local NBC affiliate WFLA, he was later released as he had been \u201cdetained based on inaccurate information.\u201d The musician was also arrested in May 2022<\/a> on a felony charge of battery by strangulation, which was dropped later that month.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
