NBA YoungBoy has shown a lot of praise to his artist Quando Rondo in the past, but he recently gave him his biggest co-sign on an episode of Never Broke Again Radio.
Over the weekend, YoungBoy aired episode two of his new show and took time out to shout out the Savannah, Georgia native who was the first signee to his label, Never Broke Again, LLC. According to YoungBoy, Rondo is a much better rapper than he is, and people should acknowledge that.

“It’s crazy, I don’t know,” YoungBoy said as someone revealed they love it when the two rap together. “The world be hating so bad, and I be keeping it so gangsta. Man, Quando rap way better than me, and them bitches be hating on my five. I don’t like that twisted ass shit.”
NBA’s comments on Rondo come after the two dropped their collaborative effort 3860 last month. The album comes equipped with 16 tracks and one feature from Lul Timm, who allegedly killed King Von after the Chicago rapper and Rondo got into an altercation in November 2020.

That incident occurred months after Von accused YoungBoy of having “cap in [his] raps” while listening to his 2018 song “Play Wit Us” on Instagram Live. There were also rumors that Von had begun dating YoungBoy’s ex-girlfriend and baby mother, Jania Meshell.
On the 3860 album, specifically the song “Want Me Dead,” Rondo dissed Von and his family.
“My favorite opp dead, sister talk too much, no, I don’t like the bitch / Lul Timmy rolled her brother up, got stepped on in some Nike kicks,” Quando raps on the TJ Produced It and Yaktree-produced track.

At the top of the year, NBA YoungBoy subliminally dissed King Von on his January mixtape Colors. “N-gga, this that ‘Squid Game,’ O Block pack get rolled up / Murder what they told us, Atlanta boy get rolled up,” he rapped on “Bring the Hook,” referencing Von’s Chicago neighborhood.
YB’s lyrics prompted a response from Von’s close friend and collaborator, Lil Durk, with whom he also has issues.
Earlier this month, Quando came to the defense of his mentor once again when he trolled Bobby Shmurda after YoungBoy had a back-and-forth with him on social media.
In a post shared to his Instagram Story, Rondo shared a photo of a New York City Times Square billboard promoting 3860. Rather than picking a song from the project, though, Quando Rondo chose Bobby Shmurda’s breakout hit “Hot N-gga” to soundtrack his Story.
