Overview
- Prosecutors handed more than 90 gigabytes of materials — reported as about 1,900 photos, 111 videos and multiple audio files — to Rod Wave’s defense on July 31, 2026.
- The rapper faces 14 counts tied to an April 2025 confrontation at his Milton, Georgia, home including aggravated assault, possession of a firearm during a felony, pointing a gun, reckless conduct and criminal damage to property.
- Police say the incident followed a burglary that removed a basement safe and that officers found shell casings, bullet holes in a gold Mercedes G-Wagon and a black Rolls-Royce, and a handgun at the scene.
- Rod Wave has pleaded not guilty and his attorney, Drew Findling, says he was a burglary victim acting in self-defense rather than someone who committed these alleged crimes.
- The next court date is set for September 28, 2026, and the large media file is likely to drive forensic testing, witness corroboration and focused pretrial motion work while the artist moves forward with planned music promotion.
