The felony battery charge against rapper Rod Wave has been dropped.
“Please be advised that myself and David Bigney representing Mr. Green has gotten the case dismissed. The Nolle Pross/ No Info is on file currently with the Osceola County Clerks Office. This case was a misunderstanding between a Girlfriend and Boyfriend,” Wave’s lawyer Bradford M. Cohen wrote.
“That misunderstanding resulted in Mr. Green’s arrest. After review of the evidence and speaking with witnesses, the State entered a Nolle Pross/ No Info on the matter and will not be pursuing charges. We thank the Osceola County State Attorney’s Office for their professionalism.”
Wave was arrested on a felony charge of battery by strangulation. The rapper grew up in St. Petersburg, Florida. He then began working on his music career while at Lakewood High School. He broke into the industry in 2018 with Alamo Records. He has enjoyed Billboard success but says he will soon quit the music industry.
