Rod Wave<\/a> is accused in a recently filed lawsuit<\/a> of owing more than $27 million to Grizzly Touring, described in court docs<\/a> viewed by Complex as \u201ca promoter of large-scale events for hip-hop and other musical artists.\u201d<\/p>\n The suit is unique in that it includes extensive paperwork related to the Last Lap artist\u2019s various tour agreements among its exhibits, including a North American tour offer signed by Rod in February 2023. According to Grizzly Touring\u2019s legal team, per docs filed in Florida on Sept. 29, the $27 million figure accounts for \u201cunearned and unrecouped advances\u201d made to Rod and his Hit House Entertainment company.<\/p>\n Grizzly says it agreed to guarantee Rod $40,250,000 to perform 35 shows, half of which was paid upfront. Additional funds were later advanced, Grizzly added, with Rod allegedly failing to \u201chonor his obligations\u201d under an amended tour deal.<\/p>\n \u201c[Rod Wave] has only performed 26 shows since the Last Lap tour began in October 2024,\u201d Grizzly\u2019s lawyers write. \u201cThat means [Rod] has only earned $29,900,000 against the guarantee, pursuant to its terms, and, as a result, now owes Grizzly $27 million for the amounts Grizzly advanced and paid on [Rod\u2019s] behalf.\u201d<\/p>\n COMPLEX SHOP:<\/b> Shop the brands you love, anytime and anywhere.

Obsess.<\/a><\/p>\n Rod \u201crefuses to pay Grizzly a single penny,\u201d the lawsuit further claims, adding that he \u201chas instead chosen to spend his advance on private jets and lavish second homes.\u201d<\/p>\n Canceled shows are also cited in the court docs viewed by Complex, with Grizzly refuting Rod\u2019s claims that dates were rescheduled or called off entirely due to \u201cpoor scheduling and routing\u201d on Grizzly\u2019s part. Instead, Grizzly argues, such shows were affected by production issues, over which they have no control.<\/p>\n In a move Grizzly likens to an \u201cinsult to injury,\u201d Rod\u2019s public announcement of a new tour through his own company is cited. As Grizzly puts in the suit, this marks a \u201cdirect violation\u201d of the exclusivity obligations agreed upon in their amended tour deal with the artist.<\/p>\n Complex has reached out to Rod Wave\u2019s reps for comment. This story may be updated.<\/p>\n Rod discussed the launch of his Mainstay Touring company during a recent conversation<\/a> with Billboard.
