Rapper Rod Wave arrested on 14 charges, including aggravated assault
NEW YORK — Rapper Rod Wave has been charged with aggravated assault and arrested on more than a dozen total offenses. The 26-year-old was taken into custody Tuesday on 14 charges, including possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony; reckless conduct; criminal damage to property in the second degree, willful obstruction of law enforcement officers; a felony count of tampering with evidence; simple assault; and conspiracy to commit a felony, TMZ reports. The 'SoulFly' artist, real name Rodarius Marcell Green, was also charged with aggravated assault and pointing or aiming a gun or pistol at another, according to the outlet. Though Rod was reportedly released on $50,000 bond, his lawyers said there's 'no truth to these charges. Police say Rod and his camp were visiting his recently burglarized Atlanta-area home last month when he and an associate started arguing and the rapper pulled out a gun, firing a total of 14 rounds. A dozen of the rounds hit his vehicles, one hit his wall, and the last round has reportedly not yet been located, according to police. Authorities say the incident violated Rod's bond order in connection with a 2020 battery. '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,' said Drew Findling and Marissa Goldberg — who also represented Atlanta rapper, Lil Baby, after a May 2024 triple shooting at one his music videos. In May 2022, charges were ultimately dropped after the rapper allegedly choked his ex-girlfriend, while their two kids were home. The Daily News has reached out to a representative for Rod Wave for comment.

Readers sound off on Tyre Nichols' killers, Biden's cancer and reversing rules
Bronx: I had had Tyre Nichols' smiling photo pinned there since the day after his inhuman massacre at the hands, fists, kicks and scathing taunts of heartless policemen and later, medics — just watching. All murderous, battering, scathing and mocking men who would — thank goodness, I prayed — be brought to trial and found heartlessly and absolutely guilty of murdering a man who was known to shout upon coming home from his job, 'Hello, parents, I'm home!' No! It was not to be another safe arrival home the night of Jan. 7, 2023, the night of Nichols' cruel, inhuman and unforgivable murder. I cried for him and cried for all who knew and loved him, but at the very least, I had the assurance that it was all on camera, clear and factually visible above their cruel hands, fists, kicks and taunts. Everything despite his cries, his begging, even after he tried to run from these horrible, inhumane men — no, creatures — accusing him of absolutely nothing that warranted the most merciless and heartless treatment. These creatures, I'm sure, have their own families and friends who would later watch them become heartless, mocking, inhumane animals. It was all on camera. It was all right there. No one could lie about it or make them less guilty or horrendous than what they were that horrible night. I had to take Nichols' picture down. It hurts too much. But I will never forget his smiling, sweet, innocent, promising face. Carmen H. Mason Brooklyn: After seeing the violent tape of Diddy beating up Cassandra Ventura, I hope it's a quick guilty verdict. I can not see how anyone in their right mind needs any more facts. I hope Cassandra can put this violence she suffered past her and live happily with her family. Mariann Tepedino Manhattan: Re 'Ill-fated Mexican ship was headed to Iceland on an around-the-world tour' (May 19): This is what the Daily News printed about the Mexican tall ship: 'Its main mast is 160 feet high; the Brooklyn Bridge is only 127 feet above the water.' Mathematics says the ship couldn't fit. Leonard Marshall Sleepy Hollow, N.Y.: Seventeen states, including New York, are suing President Trump for pulling the plug on federally approved offshore wind projects. These wind farms, which contribute to American energy independence, should be getting Republican support for using free, American energy sources and providing employment and economic investment offshore and onshore in wind port logistics and manufacturing. Thank you, Gov. Hochul, Attorney General Letitia James and NYSERDA chief Doreen Harris for having New York's best interests at the forefront and fighting Trump's irrational wind ban. Catherine Campbell Glen Oaks: The Daily News cites 144 recent deaths in Kentucky due to tornadoes, other storms and floods ('Death toll climbs to 28 from mid-South storms,' May 19). 'Oh, that's Kentucky!' we might answer, putting our climate breakdown out of reach and mind. Hey, that's America. That's our home. Moreover, that's a nearby state. C'mon, Albany, we've got about a week before it will be too late to pass our transformative NY HEAT Act and for Hochul to unstop our cap-and-invest program. Let's get both going and help turn the corner on climate breakdown! Kanwaldeep K. Sekhon Delray Beach, Fla.: It's very sad to hear that ex-President Joe Biden has developed prostate cancer and that it is in a very aggressive stage. He did get checked every year at Walter Reed Medical Center, so why was this not detected sooner? Of course, he was given a clean bill of health, just like he was cognizant of everything. That was another lie. As we can now see, he was never in good health and was lying to the American people. Manny Agostini Stratford, Conn.: So, crooked Joe has prostate cancer? With the best doctors in the country at his disposal? Maybe he should have spent more time in the doctor's office than at his beach resort in Delaware, or stopped lying about the millions of illegal immigrants he let into the country. I bet he doesn't care that I have prostate cancer, so why should I care if he has it? Peter Sulzicki Cincinnati: Re 'The Dems are still hiding from Biden cover-up' (column, May 15): As his presidency waned, Biden transformed into a ventriloquist's dummy. As he crept into senility, his family and administration buddies became the virtual president, programming him as one would a robot. Several ventriloquists, one dummy. We survived because, as Otto von Bismarck noted, 'There is a special providence for fools, drunkards and the United States of America.' Unless they come clean about his deterioration in office, no Democratic presidential hopeful will garner enough credibility to compete in the 2028 presidential sweepstakes. Paul Bloustein Brooklyn: Does everyone remember when AOC famously said that entering the country illegally is not illegal? That's all I have to say. Rocco Conte Bronx: I read with horror of the woman in Georgia who is brain-dead and on life support and is 21 weeks pregnant. Her family is not allowed to take her off life support because the abortion ban is only concerned for the fetus' existence, not the mother's. In the government's eyes, the fetus must be delivered when viable. Now the woman must be kept on life support so she can deliver the baby by being cut open by Cesarean section (major surgery) to deliver the baby, who already has water on the brain. This will be done all without the family's right to have decision-making power about their daughter's life and what medical procedure they want for her. To all women in America who have daughters who potentially will have children: Be afraid, be very afraid. Lydia Milnar Kew Gardens: In December 2023, Hamas proposed the release of all hostages in exchange for a total ceasefire and the withdrawal of IDF forces from Gaza. This proposal was widely supported by UN membership, but the U.S. deferred to Israel. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected the proposal, stating that Israel would never agree to a total ceasefire until all their military objectives were attained, including the elimination of Hamas to the last man. So, the continuation of this war goes far beyond getting the hostages released. What is the real objective? This war now has the smell of imperialistic territory annexation. Normally in the Middle East, this type of military action involves obtaining oil and energy resources. Are there energy resources in the Palestinian territories? If so, none of our media is reporting that wealth is a contributing factor in the continuation of this conflict. Glenn Hayes Dover, Del.: To Voicer Wendy Jackson: Apparently, you subscribe to the British/Zionist version of history. Just because the Zionist authors claim that no Palestinians were present in the area, Palestinians had several cities, resorts, an entire monetary system and universities prior to the arrival of Europeans seeking more land to colonize after World War II. Take a moment to explore the coins already minted in Palestine from the early 1900s, prior to the forced expulsions. Chalky White Valley Stream, L.I.: Voicer Glenn Bischoff paints a valid picture when describing Pete Rose betting on baseball. In closing, Bischoff writes, '… the rules of law do not matter.' In America, we are proving that laws do not matter. We elected a convicted felon to our highest office. This person is continually turning the legal levers of the laws in our country, defying the courts. The corruption in his administration is never-ending, with no accountability for anyone in his cabinet. Getting back to Rose, I saw a sports talk program with Johnny Bench on YouTube. The host asked Johnny if he thought Rose should be elected to the Hall of Fame. Johnny's quote: 'Well, if you want to have Mr. Rose in the Hall of Fame, just tell your kids that there are no rules anymore.' That was several years ago. Unfortunately, in today's politics, sports and everyday life, it rings true. Vince Sgroi

Rapper Tory Lanez's lungs collapsed after 14 stabs in prison yard
The 32-year-old musician is serving time for shooting Megan Thee Stallion in the feet in 2020. Photo: TNS Rapper Tory Lanez's lungs collapsed when a fellow inmate stabbed him over a dozen times as more details emerge about Monday morning's attack at a California prison where he's serving a decade-long sentence. Reps for the 32-year-old musician — who is serving time for shooting Megan Thee Stallion in the feet in 2020 — revealed the gravity of the incident at California Correctional Institution in Tehachapi in a statement on his Instagram Monday evening. 'Tory was stabbed 14 times — including 7 wounds to his back, 4 to his torso, 2 to the back of his head, and 1 to the left side of his face,' the statement begins. Though the Canadian artiste, born Daystar Peterson, 'is now breathing on his own,' reps said Lanez 'was placed on a breathing apparatus. 'Despite being in pain, he is talking normally, in good spirits, and deeply thankful to God that he is pulling through,' the statement continued. 'He also wants to thank everyone for their continued prayers and support.' Lanez's attorney Jose Baez told TMZ that his client is expected to make a recovery. The stabbing occurred at around 7:20am local time Monday and Lanez was transported by ambulance to an outside hospital before he was ultimately airlifted to Kern Medical Hospital in critical condition. Officials have not made public the identity of Lanez's attacker nor what the inmate is serving time for. It's unclear whether Lanez and the inmate had any prior association. The Daily News has reached out to the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation seeking additional information about the incident and attacker. In 2023, Lanez was sentenced to 10 years for firing five shots at Megan Thee Stallion, born Megan Pete, after a 2020 bash at Kylie Jenner's home. Earlier this year, Megan, 30, secured a five-year restraining order against Lanez, who she said was using third parties to harass her while he serves time. 'I'm scared that when he gets out of jail, he's going to still be upset with me,' the Grammy-winning rapper said in an emotional video testimonial in January. Megan shared her fear that Lanez would maybe 'shoot me again' once free and that then, she might not 'make it. 'I haven't been at peace since I was shot,' she said. 'I'm just tired of being harassed.' – New York Daily News/Tribune News Service
