Rapper Rod Wave Sues Touring Company, Vows to Make Concerts Affordable

As of October 20th, 2025, rapper Rod Wave is embroiled in a $27 million lawsuit with Grizzly Touring over the company's decision to cut his latest tour short. In a recent interview, Wave spoke out against the exorbitant ticket prices and the actions of ticket resellers, who he says are "with the bullsh-" and don't care about the fans.

Wave explained that he has little control over the final ticket prices, which can skyrocket from his intended $55-$85 range to over $300. Frustrated by this, he is now in the process of launching his own touring company, Mainstay Touring, to gain more control over the touring side of his career.

The rapper, who built his fanbase from playing to just 80 people in 2018-2019 to selling out arenas with 18,000 attendees, believes the lawsuit with Grizzly Touring is a necessary "war" to fight against the millions of dollars touring companies and resellers are making at the expense of fans. He is determined to make concerts more affordable and accessible for his supporters.
