Rod Wave Sued for $27 Million Over Canceled Tour Dates

Rod Wave is being sued by Grizzly Touring, the promoter behind his canceled Last Lap Tour, for $27 million. The plaintiff claims Rod owes that much for “unearned and unrecouped advances.”

The lawsuit:

• Grizzly offered Rod Wave, real name Rodarius Marcell Green, $40,250,000 for 35 shows. Half of the sum was paid in advance.

• Grizzly claims further funds were advanced at a later date.

• The complaint states that Green refused to reimburse Grizzly and spent the advance on luxury amenities such as houses and private jets.

• Green canceled 13 dates of the tour in early 2025, citing production and routing issues. He launched his own touring company, Mainstay Touring, in response.

• Grizzly claims that starting the new company violated exclusivity clauses in the contract.

What they said:

• Grizzly Touring: “[Rod Wave] has only performed 26 shows since the Last Lap tour began in October 2024. That means [Rod] has only earned $29,900,000 against the guarantee, pursuant to its terms, and, as a result, now owes $27 million for the amounts Grizzly advanced and paid on [his] behalf.”
