Touring company Grizzly Touring filed a federal lawsuit on Monday seeking $27 million from rapper Rod Wave after his Last Lap concert series ended prematurely. The promoter alleges that Wave accepted a $57 million advance for 35 arena performances but completed only 26 shows, generating $30 million in ticket revenue. Grizzly attorneys stated Wave spent advance payments on private aircraft and luxury properties rather than fulfilling contractual obligations.
The lawsuit alleges that Wave expanded production requirements without authorization and blamed the promoter for venue cancellations. Wave announced plans for a separate tour through Mainstay Touring in violation of an exclusivity clause. His attorneys countered that Grizzly mismanaged logistics and breached the agreement first. Wave faces a separate lawsuit from May related to injuries sustained by a child at a 2024 concert stampede.
