Green, 26, has been charged with aggravated assault, simple assault, property damage, reckless conduct, tampering with evidence and more.
Attorneys Drew Findling and Marissa Goldberg, who represent Green, shared a statement with WSB-TV calling Green's charges 'incomprehensible.'
'There is no truth to these charges. Rod Green was a victim of a burglary and committed no crimes. How he was even charged as a result of this situation is incomprehensible. This will absolutely be resolved favorably to Mr. Green,' Findling and Goldberg said in a statement.
Green first rose to prominence after releasing a song on TikTok that quickly rose on Billboard's Hot 100.
Most recently, Green released 'Sinners,' which was the lead single on the soundtrack for the 2025 film of the same name starring Michael B. Jordan.

Vallejo police make arrest in deadly triple shooting at homeless encampment
A man suspected in a triple shooting that killed two people at a homeless encampment in Vallejo over Memorial Day weekend was arrested in San Francisco, police said.
