Rod Wave Reportedly Arrested For Multiple Felony Charges
Renowned rapper and singer Rodarius Marcell Green, or Rod Wave, as is his professional name, is currently making headlines following his arrest in Georgia. Wave's detention in a Fulton County jail comes in the wake of an incident that occurred on April 21.
While authorities are maintaining complete radio silence over why they decided to apprehend the Great Gatsby singer, here's everything we know about his case so far.
On May 20, 2025, officials of a Fulton County jail put Rod Wave under arrest due to his involvement in an undisclosed incident from April 21. While the Georgia police have yet to reveal details of the said episode, they have charged the 26-year-old musician with as many as 13 felony counts. The charges against Rod Wave range from aggravated assault, possession of a firearm during a felony, and pointing a gun at someone to criminal damage to property, reckless conduct, and tampering with evidence.
As mentioned before, it remains unknown as to what Rod Wave did to initiate his arrest. However, certain unconfirmed reports indicate that the incident may center around the one-time Billboard Music Awards nominee misbehaving with a woman, according to The Express Tribune. Despite his initial apprehension, officials released Wave on the very same day after the hip-hop artist posted surety bonds.
This would be the third time that the Florida-born singer has encountered legal troubles in his promising yet short career. He infamously faced a dropped battery charge in 2022. Two years later, in 2024, police arrested Rod Wave in a firearm-related case but discarded the case shortly afterward. Despite falling onto the radar of law enforcers due to his antics on a consistent basis, Wave continues to make strides in the music industry. Most recently, he composed a single titled Sinners in collaboration with the Michael B. Jordan-led film of the same name.
At the time of writing, Rod Wave's legal representatives have yet to issue any official statement regarding his arrest.

Disney World's 'Piston Peak' Cars Land First Look, Plus What to Know About Disneyland's 70th
It's been 70 years since Disneyland opened its gates, and the original Disney park is now celebrating its anniversary. As Walt Disney himself once predicted, Disneyland will "never be completed," as long as imagination remains in the world -- and it's continuing to grow with new rides, experiences and entertainment planned for 2025 and beyond. The same is true for the 53-year-old Walt Disney World in Florida, which has entire new lands being built right now (not to mention the brand new Disney theme park just announced for Abu Dhabi). Disney Parks on Tuesday revealed how its new Cars Land at Magic Kingdom will look -- check out the map below. We've got all the details on the park expansions and anniversary celebration. Here's everything coming to the Disney Parks and the Disney Cruise Line in 2025 and beyond. Pixar's Cars land at Disney World: First look at Piston Peak Piston Peak National Park: the setting for the new Cars-themed land at Magic Kingdom. Disney Parks The Rivers of America and Tom Sawyer Island at Disney World's Magic Kingdom are being repurposed to add an area themed around Pixar's Cars movies. This expansion of Frontierland, which currently encompasses Tiana's Bayou Adventure and Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, will get a Route 66 companion, whose look is inspired by the Rocky Mountain area and the "American Frontier and its national parks." "Imagine an awe-inspiring wilderness filled with towering trees, snowcapped mountains, breathtaking waterfalls, roaring rivers and impressive geysers," Disney Parks Blog wrote on June 3. Disney says Imagineers are "using a style of architecture called 'Parkitecture,' which was developed by the National Park Service to create structures that harmonize with the natural environment." On the map, you can see a running river surrounding the Piston Peak area, with geysers spitting water. "Trees will provide a natural barrier between the off-road rally and other parts of Frontierland and Liberty Square. Rugged mountains with dramatic peaks will be nestled along a calming waterway," Disney Parks said. You can see Tiana's Bayou Adventure and Big Thunder Mountain Railroad to the north in the map. There will be a visitor's lodge, a Ranger HQ and walking trails in the Piston Peak area -- so don't fear that all exploration is being removed with the loss of Tom Sawyer Island. During SXSW in March, Pixar Chief Creative Officer Pete Docter and Imagineer Michel Hundgen spoke about the new ride vehicle for the Cars attraction. You can watch a TikTok video of Disney Imagineers testing out off-road vehicles in the Arizona desert to create what the ride will feel like. "These are all things Lightning McQueen and Mater haven't experienced before, like racing over rocky terrain, ascending to mountain peaks, and dodging around geysers -- how do you take these real-world elements and put a Cars spin on it?" Disney Parks said in another blog post. Docter added that each rally car will have its own personality, name and racing number. Disney last year said there would be a second Cars-themed attraction, too. Cars Land, which was added to Disney's California Adventure back in 2012, remains popular in the west, so it was only a matter of time before it was added to the east. Work is set to begin this year, and the Rivers of America, Tom Sawyer Island and the Liberty Square Riverboat will close on July 7. Disneyland's 70th celebration: What to know Disneyland is kicking off its 70th anniversary celebration in May. Disney Parks Disneyland's 70th anniversary celebration kicked off on May 16. The original Disney park opened on July 17, 1955, but the celebration began two months early. You have plenty of time to get there, though -- the celebration will continue for more than a year, running through summer 2026. "Celebrate happy" is the theme of the anniversary celebration, and Disneyland has an entirely new theme song, performed by the Jonas Brothers. New events include a Mickey and Friends cavalcade (including Duffy and ShellieMay), a projection show at It's a Small World called Tapestry of Happiness (as well as Miguel and Dante being added to the ride), a projection show at Carthay Circle, 70 new food and drink items and new outfits for Mickey and friends. The new World of Color show is hosted by Joy from Inside Out, with the other Emotions manifesting movie moments from Pixar and Disney films, including The Incredibles, Turning Red, A Goofy Movie, Encanto and Tangled. It also has a new preshow starring The Muppets. Disneyland's World of Color 70th anniversary show. Disney Parks The esplanade between Disneyland and California Adventure now has a 50-foot sculpture of Sleeping Beauty Castle, with more decorations sprinkled throughout Downtown Disney and Main Street USA, as well as inside Disney's hotels. There's even 70th anniversary decor inside the Toy Story Midway Mania ride. The Paint the Night parade, Pixar Pals parade and the Wondrous Journeys fireworks show have also returned for the celebration. On the official anniversary day of July 17, Disneyland will debut a new verse for It's A Small World, as well as a 3-minute film called The Last Verse in the Main Street Cinema. The movie celebrates the Sherman Brothers, who wrote the music for the ride. There will also be a new gallery exhibition in the Opera House on Main Street USA, featuring never-before-seen images, art and artifacts from the development, opening and evolution of Disneyland. These include the original rocking chair, lamp and table from Walt Disney's private apartment above the Fire Station on Main Street, Walt's 1955 Emmy award and his Presidential Medal of Freedom from 1964. There will be a second exhibit on the history of animatronics. The first-ever audio-animatronic figure of Walt Disney himself will also debut on July 17 as a part of the Walt Disney: A Magical Life show inside the Main Street Opera House. How much do tickets cost for Disneyland's 70th anniversary celebration? Another big drawcard for the 70th anniversary celebrations: ticket pricing deals that makes it slightly cheaper than usual to visit (as long as you go for at least three days). If you're visiting Disneyland between May 16 and Aug. 14, 2025, you can buy tickets that are part of the Disneyland Anniversary Ticket Offer. These cost $360 for a three-day, one-park-per-day ticket, or $400 for a four-day, one-park-per-day ticket. Disneyland's Avengers Campus is getting two more rides The Avengers Infinity Defense ride. Disney Looking beyond 2025, Disney's California Adventure, which is already home to the Spider-Man Web Slingers and Guardians of the Galaxy attractions in the Avengers Campus area of the park, will be getting two more Marvel attractions. During SXSW, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige, Imagineering Chief Creative Officer Bruce Vaughn and Iron Man himself, Robert Downey Jr., revealed more details about these two new rides. Avengers Infinity Defense will see you assemble alongside the Avengers battling King Thanos, featuring appearances by Black Panther, Ant-Man and Hulk. Stark Flight Lab, the second ride, will see you help test Tony Stark's latest tech. "In Stark Flight Lab, guests will sit in 'gyro-kinetic pods' and roll along a track before stopping in front of a giant robot arm," Disney explains on its Parks Blog. "This robot arm will hoist you into the air where you'll make several high-speed maneuvers inspired by Iron Man and some other Avengers." Construction begins this year on the Avengers Campus additions. Disney's California Adventure gets a Coco attraction Concept art for the new Coco ride. Disney/Pixar Disney's California Adventure is also getting more Pixar rides. A Coco attraction will be built in an area of the park that is yet to be announced, but it sounds like it'll be a dark ride like Haunted Mansion and Pirates of the Caribbean, populated by audio-animatronics. "The attraction will be filled with the characters -- and music! -- you know and love from the beloved movie, as you join Miguel on a trip to the land of the dead," Disney says. Work begins on the Coco ride in 2026, so its launch is still a while away. Disneyland will be getting an Avatar area An aerial shot of the Avatar-themed area coming to Disneyland Resort. Disney The world of Pandora is expanding from Disney World's Animal Kingdom in Orlando to California Adventure in Anaheim. The area in California will take its design inspiration from the second Avatar film, The Way of Water, as well as the upcoming Avatar sequels. It'll likely be part of the enormous Disneyland expansion coming to the theme parks that will push the boundaries past Downtown Disney and into the nearby parking lots. While Disney was short on details and dates, the Avatar experience will be "dynamic, intense and emotional," with a dark boat ride much like Pirates of the Caribbean "taking guests all the way to the wide-open seas of Pandora." Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin updates Concept art of the overhauled version of Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin, which will have two different colored lasers in each ride vehicle. Disney/Pixar Over in Disney World's Magic Kingdom park, Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin will close in August for a total overhaul. Announced March 26, the Tomorrowland attraction will get new ride vehicles with video monitors. It's also getting a new scene at the start starring new character Buddy the friendly robot. Each star cruiser will have two handheld blasters with always-on lasers that come in two different colors so you can see which laser is yours. The static Z targets will also now "react and light up when hit." Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin will reopen sometime in 2026. Disney's Hollywood Studios is getting a Monsters, Inc. land Disney's first suspended roller coaster will take you on a ride through the Monsters, Inc. factory. Disney/Pixar Another new addition coming to Disney World at its Hollywood Studios theme park is a Monsters, Inc.-themed area, to replace the current Muppets area (with the Muppets to replace Aerosmith theming in the Rock 'n' Roller Coaster). Revealed by the voice of Mike Wazowski (Billy Crystal), the land will let you stroll through Monstropolis from the Pixar movies and shorts. A new ride will also take you through the Monsters Inc. laugh factory aboard one of the doors to the human world — aka a suspended roller coaster. "The first time I saw Monsters, Inc., all I wanted to do was ride on one of those doors like Mike and Sulley," D'Amaro said at D23 in August. "You'll go into the factory and experience the first suspended coaster ever in a Disney park. Remember in the movie how those claws grab the doors and hoist them up into the air to take them away? We're doing that too. And you're going along for the ride." Docter and Hundgen were also on-hand to talk about the new Monsters, Inc. ride during SXSW, which "will feature the first-ever suspended coaster at a Disney Park, and the first-ever vertical lift." The loading area will see you board the ride vehicle and then "hoisted into the air." Here's the TikTok showing the design concept for the Monsters Inc. ride. Your last day to enjoy MuppetVision 3D is June 7, as it'll close permanently on June 8. Work on the Monsters, Inc. land will then begin later in 2025. There's no closing date yet for the Rock 'n' Roller Coaster. Disney World, Disneyland getting Bluey meet and greets Meet and greets with Bluey and her family will be coming to Disneyland and Disney World, as well as to Disney cruises, starting at an unspecified time in 2025. Disney announced this news after revealing that a Bluey movie will hit screens in 2027. "Bluey has become a household name for families around the world, and we are thrilled to bring her story to life in new ways," said Disney Experiences Chair Josh D'Amaro. "We can't wait to watch our youngest guests and their families make memories with Bluey in our parks and on our cruises." The hugely popular Australian TV series about a family of dogs is a worldwide hit, with Disney to release the movie in two years' time. (In the meantime, you can watch Bluey episodes and minisodes on Disney Plus.) New Villains Land at Disney World's Magic Kingdom Disney World's Magic Kingdom is getting a Villains Land. Disney Villains Land, which will celebrate all the classic baddies from Disney films, is coming to the Magic Kingdom at Disney World in Florida, and it will be "dark and thorny," according to the Horizons Disney Experiences Showcase (part of Disney's D23 expo in August) and info that Disney has released since. Villains Land was first teased during D23 2022. It'll be positioned on the other side of Big Thunder Mountain -- aka, the top left edge of the current Magic Kingdom map -- and will stretch around to where the Haunted Mansion is. Two major attractions will be built in Villains Land, as well as dining and shopping "on an incredibly twisted grand scale." The land is already being constructed, but no word yet on when it'll open. A chilling trailer for the chaotic land on Instagram hints at elements in the land representing Maleficent, Dr. Facilier, Ursula, Gaston, Yzma, Queen of Hearts, Hades, the Evil Queen, Lady Tremaine, Captain Hook, Jafar, Kaa, Madam Mim, Cruella, Scar, King Magnifico and Mother Gothel. Now Playing: Disney Parks Announcements at D23 03:24 Animal Kingdom: Tropical Americas land Disney's Animal Kingdom at Walt Disney World is replacing its DinoLand USA area with Tropical Americas. Though this had been previously announced, Disney confirmed a few more details in August: Pueblo Esperanza will feel like you're walking through a real village and will have a huge quick-service dining location, a fountain and a carousel. Tropical Americas will also have a new Indiana Jones ride through a Maya temple and an Encanto-themed attraction where you'll explore Antonio's rainforest room inside the Casita. Construction began in fall 2024, but DinoLand USA is closing down in stages. The Dinosaur ride (which will become the Indiana Jones ride) remains open, but TriceraTop Spin and the midway area closed down on Jan. 13. Tropical Americas is planned to open in 2027. The Tropical Americas area will replace DinoLand USA and feature an Encanto ride, an Indiana Jones ride and a carousel. Disney Disney Cruise Line gets four more ships In addition to the Disney Wish, which launched in July 2022, the Disney Treasure, which set sail in December 2024, and the Disney Destiny, which is set to embark later this year, Disney is adding four more cruise ships to its ocean vacation lineup. The ship names and destinations have yet to be revealed, but the ships will set sail between 2027 and 2031.
