Rod Wave has revealed his best investment.
The St. Petersburg, FL, rapper has more than 32 billion streams on Spotify alone. His albums have also reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200 several times, including “Nostalgia” (2023), “Beautiful Mind” (2022) and “SoulFly” (2021), Lobby Observer reports. He is set to release his next album, “Don’t Look Down,” on Aug. 28, according to Billboard.
He’s already planning to tour the album starting in September through his promotion company MAINSTAY Touring.
“I feel like every day, every day as I meet new people and get deeper into business, learning how things operate, learning how the world works, just my dreams, they get bigger and bigger and bigger … No matter what chapter in my life I was in, my dreams was never normal,” he shared on the podcast.
“Without Uncle Dee, it wouldn’t be no Rod Wave. Wouldn’t be no five years platinum. Wouldn’t be all these millions of dollars. Wouldn’t be all these kids and all these charities,” he expressed on “Club Shay Shay.”
He admits he has had some wins and has also “failed tremendously” at times, all of which has allowed him to understand every angle of the touring business. The blueprint has also benefited Kanye West and his team. Rod Wave’s company booked and promoted his shows at Sofi Stadium in Los Angeles, which sold out.
“I showed them the insides of my business. And then I showed them what the plan was. They made a business decision. They felt like I could do it. They felt like me and my team could pull it off and we showed them we could,” Rod Wave explained on the podcast.
“That’s the most on paper value right now,” he explained.
