Quando Rondo has been nabbed in Georgia for what law enforcement officials are calling “street gang activity” and possession of controlled substances.
Law enforcement officials told TMZ that Quando was nabbed on Friday (June 16) in Macon, GA. The officials told the outlet that the rapper (real name Tyquian Terrel Bowman) allegedly worked with up to 18 other individuals to engage in drug deals between October 2022 and June 2023.

Rondo was charged with “2 counts of conspiracy to violate Georgia’s controlled substances law, 1 count of participating in criminal activity affiliated with a street gang, and 1 count of illegal use of a cell phone to facilitate a drug deal,” per TMZ.
He’s currently being held in the Chatham County jail, and has not been released as of this writing.

Before getting locked up for these new charges, Quando Rondo had come under fire for some of his more colorful opinions.
Last month, in a sit-down interview with Dirty Glove Bastard as part of their “Off The Porch” series, the Savannah, Georgia native made it clear that he wasn’t feeling Lil Durk.
“We blessed, we angels,” he began. “But, on God … I ain’t tryna die for Durk. I’m not! I’mma keep it real!”
Rondo had a different opinion about Lul Tim, the man allegedly responsible for the murder of Durk’s close friend and collaborator, King Von.

“I’d die for this man, though,” he said, pointing to Lul Tim who was sat next to him. “N-gga, if I knew, I’d lay down my life and die for this man. Slit throat. Right now, on God. Because I know — I know — he’d do the same for me. Shit, he almost did. I take that shit to heart.”
This isn’t the first time that Quando Rondo has sung the praises of Lul Tim. Back in 2021, Quando took to his Instagram stories to share a picture of matching iced-out watches that he got for himself and his longtime friend.
“Me and My Twin,” he wrote in the caption.

Quando’s seeming indifference to the death of King Von may stem from their longtime beef that wasn’t resolved at the time of Von’s murder.
And the feud between Quando and Von has continued, even after the Chicago rapper’s death. During a virtual concert in April of that same year, Quando allegedly delivered yet another shot disrespecting Von, rapping: “He got caught without that pole and now that bitch ass n-gga gone … I’ll piss on his grave!”
