In a shocking turn of events, popular Florida rapper Rod Wave was arrested in Atlanta on November 7th. According to an arrest warrant from the Atlanta Police Department, the incident began when officers observed Rod Wave driving recklessly, speeding through a stop sign, and exceeding the speed limit in a northwest Atlanta neighborhood.
At approximately 7:30 PM, an officer initiated a traffic stop after witnessing Rod Wave allegedly driving at 45 miles per hour in a 35 mph zone. The rapper was pulled over at a nearby gas station, where law enforcement informed him of his arrest for reckless driving. During the stop, officers conducted a search of Rod Wave’s vehicle, which led to the discovery of a loaded Glock 40 caliber handgun in his waistband, along with a substantial amount of a purple substance believed to be promethazine, a common ingredient in a recreational drink known as “lean.”
Rod Wave was charged with reckless driving, two counts of possession of a controlled substance, and possession of a firearm without a permit. Additionally, officers found more narcotics and cash in his vehicle, intensifying the severity of the charges against him. Despite the evidence, Rod Wave reportedly denied ownership of the substances and firearms.
This incident is not Rod Wave’s first run-in with the law concerning firearms. The rapper’s history of legal troubles raises concerns about the potential consequences he may face in this latest case, as he remains incarcerated while awaiting a court decision on his fate.
In a separate but equally compelling story, rising artist Melow Rackz has recently found herself in the spotlight due to a controversy involving her former partner, Kodak Black. The rapper leaked a video that allegedly shows Melow Rackz engaging in activities involving substances, which sparked outrage on social media. Melow Rackz responded publicly, urging Kodak Black to refrain from sharing old footage as she moves forward in her career, particularly as she has been linked romantically to another artist, YoungBoy Never Broke Again.
These incidents highlight the ongoing challenges and scrutiny that come with fame in the music industry. As Rod Wave awaits his legal proceedings, and Melow Rackz navigates the fallout from her past relationship, both artists are facing pivotal moments in their careers that may have lasting implications. The music community and fans alike will be watching closely as these stories unfold in the coming days.
