New details surrounding Rod Wave’s arrest surfaced after the rapper was booked into jail on a felony charge of battery by strangulation.
The Tampa Bay Times reports that the rapper allegedly choked his ex-girlfriend on April 24. Their two children were in the home at the time of the attack.
The woman reportedly had a scartch “near the left center of her neck.” She told the cops that she had been sleeping when Wave alked in and choked her until she could not breathe after accusing her of cheating. Their children were in their bedroom. She has been in a relationship with the rapper for over 4 years.
Wave pleaded not guilty and posted a $5,000 bail.
He cracked the Billboard Hot 100 with his song “Heart on Ice,” in 2020.
Months back he alluded to quitting the rap game.
“I’m only here for a little longer and when I say that I mean as in Rod Wave,” he said. “I’m only here for a little minute, man. I done gave y’all straight dope, straight crack. Ain’t nobody’s f-cking with me with that pen. This shit not really me, man. I’m not no people person, I’m not no center of attention ass n-gga, I hate attention, man. I can’t get on the internet without seeing my face or name.”
