Last week, it was reported that 24-year-old Quando Rondo had been arrested on drug charges. The news quickly sent shockwaves through the hip-hop community. After a few days without updates, more information was released on Tuesday (June 20). We now know that 18 others have been indicted along with the rapper. Aside from the drug trouble, those involved are also facing gang charges. Quando specifically is accused of having a managerial position within his local chapter of the Rollin’ 60s.
According to WJCL, the Chatham County District Attorney’s Office has put together a 49-count indictment against the Georgia native and his co-defendants. They’ve been accused of dozens of crimes, such as using a cell phone to conduct illegal activity and gang affiliation. Quando’s personal charges into two counts of conspiracy to violate Georgia’s controlled substances act, one count of participating in criminal street gang activity, and use of communication facility in the commission of a felony involving controlled substances.

As XXL reports, the indictment notably mentions a June 4 trip to Macon, Georgia. At the time, the “ABG” artist was allegedly travelling to pay a marijuana supplier. On the bright side, Quando’s arrest wasn’t a total surprise. He turned himself into authorities on June 16, sending out a telling tweet to his loved ones early that morning. “I Love You Paris, Italy, Kiyah, My Mama, Tess, My Grandma, Freida,” he wrote. “I’ll Be Bacc!”
At this time, the accused gang member has yet to release an official statement regarding his arrest. Amid the mass hip-hop crime wave that’s unfolding, it’s been increasingly difficult to keep up with the news coming from various cases. The YSL and YFN RICO trials are still unfolding, and YNW Melly is in court this month as his proceedings move forward in Broward County. Interestingly enough, Quando Rondo was venting about wishing he had kept more of his personal life private just weeks before his recent arrest.

The post Quando Rondo Indictment: Rapper Allegedly Manages Rollin’ 60s Gang appeared first on HotNewHipHop.
Fresh off of the release of his new album Recovery, Quando Rondo continues to face questions surrounding his feud with Lil Durk’s crew. The “Soul Reaper” rapper recently sat down with Say Cheese TV! where he was confronted with questions about Lil Durk and King Von. On the question of the Durk look-a-like, Quando Rondo denied that he attempted to make a mockery out of the “What Happened To Virgil” rapper. He explained that a lot of people have blonde hair these days, including his friend who starred in the video. In Quando’s view, it was a mere coincidence.
However, Say Cheese TV! also dove into the topic of King Von’s death. If you recall, it was Quando’s associate, Lul Tim, who’s accused of being the triggerman on the night that the Chicago rapper died in Atlanta. And while Quando seemingly gloated about Von’s death in his music and social media after the fact, he feigned ignorance when he was asked about the situation specifically. “I don’t even remember that night,” he said as he sparked a blunt. “That was so long ago. You know how that go.”
While Quando Rondo said that he can’t remember what happened “two months ago,” and stated that he only remembers when the next Jordan’s drop. However, a lot of people in the comments of MyMixtapez’s post pointed out the scuffle that occurred between Quando Rondo and King Von right before the shooting. Others clowned Quando Rondo, especially after his interview with Angela Yee where he said he experienced an out-of-body experience. “Big Brah… it was the outer body experience that I don’t remember big brah,” one person wrote.
King Von died on November 6th, 2020 in Atlanta following an altercation between himself and Quando Rondo’s associate. Lul Tim was later charged in relation to the fatal shooting though he later posted bond and was released. However, the shooting spurred high tension between Lil Durk’s OTF camp and NBA Youngboy’s Never Broke Again clique, who have continued to take shots at each other over on records and social media. Most recently, Quando Rondo and Lil Durk appeared to throw shade at each other over release dates, though the former said he had issues with his label, not Durk.
The feud between Lil Durk and Quando Rondo has no end in sight. However, the issues between OTF and Never Broke Again continue to be a topic of discussion. In 2021, Quando Rondo shared a video for “Soul Reaper,” but fans quickly noted that the visual included a Lil Durk look-a-like. Given the tension between Durk and Quando Rondo, it seemed like an obvious shot but the Georgia-based rapper explained that that wasn’t his intention. “These fans make anything up,” the rapper wrote. “N***a don’t even be thinking like that.”
Still, the music video for “Soul Reaper” remains a contentious point in their relationship. During a recent interview with Say Cheese, the rapper was asked about the music video, once again. He went on a long-winded rant where he described the various types of hairstyles in his city and the rising trends of wick. Though he eventually landed on the topic of the bible and compared getting a bald head to Michael Jordan, he doubled down on his claims about the “Soul Reaper” music video.
In the music video for “Soul Reaper,” an individual with blonde dreads that bears similarity to Lil Durk appears, though ends up getting pressed by Quando and his crew. Despite trying to side-step the question, he eventually explained that the blonde hair was something that he appreciates. “It’s a trend going on. A lot of people have blonde hair. I love the blonde look so that was actually one of the homies that dyed their hair color and I really liked that color on him. It was nothing like that,” he said.
Besides Quando Rondo’s feud with Lil Durk, NBA Youngboy recently extended this beef to Lil Baby. Over the weekend, the Atlanta star met Ja Morant after the Grizzlies game where he was gifted a signed jersey. However, in the background, Baby recited YB’s infamous lyrics that Ja Morant quotes frequently. In response, NBA Youngboy issued a stern warning, claiming that Baby already chose sides in the ongoing beef. Clearly, there’s no end to this beef and YB seems to have issues with anyone who associates with Durk.
Rapper Quando Rondo is mourning the loss of yet another close friend, adding to the tragedy he suffered a while back with his late friend Lul Pab. It was after Lul Pab’s passing that Quando Rondo made the decision to quit his affiliation with gang activity. The rapper took to social media to express his grief and pay tribute to his friend. Both Quando and Lul were caught in a shootout that led to the latter’s death, while Quando witnessed the whole incident. Understandably, he took that incident as a sign to back off from his dangerous habits.
Due to the last year, Quando is making a lot of changes in his life. He dropped new music, proposed to his girlfriend, and cut a lot of ties. He remains fiercely loyal to Lul Pab, and actively calls out those he feels are being disloyal to his friend. Among all of this, however, it has now come out that Quando Rondo is in mourning again. While the identity of his friend still remains a mystery, Quando’s heartbreak is apparent. The rapper has taken to social media and music to express his anguish over his lost friends.
Fans and fellow artists have come forward to offer their condolences to Quando Rondo. Additionally, many are sharing messages of love and support on social media. The rapper’s followers have also praised him for being open and honest about his emotions. Quando’s fans also acknowledge and respect his ability to use his platform to raise awareness about the impact of violence within communities. Apart from his recent loss, Quando is no stranger to losing his friends. Until the passing of Lul Pab, Quando had been caught up in multiple gang-related activities.
However, not every person feels compelled to support the rapper in his difficult time. Former fans of King Von are quick to point out his connections with those responsible for King’s death. Currently, Quando Rondo spends his time making music connecting with other musicians. He currently has new music coming out, which makes references to a number of his late friends.

The one-year anniversary of Lil Durk’s 7220 album is quickly approaching, and for some time now, the Chicago native has been teasing a follow-up project for fans. The 17-track effort found him working with Future, Gunna, Summer Walker, and Morgan Wallen, setting expectations high for whatever he’s got in store next. Unfortunately, some recent rap beef is beginning to overshadow excitement surrounding The Voice 2.0.
As you may have seen online earlier this week, the “Laugh Now Cry Later” collaborator seemingly reignited his past feud with NBA YoungBoy and Quando Rondo. “I can drop this single and f*ck the streets up, on God,” Durkio wrote on Instagram recently. “Your release date ain’t safe son.” Though he didn’t explicitly name-drop anyone in the post, internet sleuths assumed he was dissing the Never Broke Again artists.
As AceShowBiz notes, YoungBoy’s Don’t Try This at Home album is due to drop sometime in April. The Louisana native has already had a busy year, previously sharing 19 titles on I Rest My Case as well as a single called, “Next.” For Quando’s part, he’s been steadily working on his forthcoming release, 1633. He’s already unveiled the cover art, also announcing that his work will be dedicated to the late Lul Pab, who lost his life in a tragic shooting last year.
“One more month,” the 23-year-old wrote. “I put my heart in this album, seen a lot of blood sweat and tears. Lost my right-hand man in front of my eyes. I love you thug, I’m going number one for you big brah.” In response to Durk’s apparent sneak diss, Quando wrote on his own Story, “Drop that shit, we all on a time schedule!” Clearly, the Savannah native is unbothered by any potential competition from his fellow rapper.
In wake of the interesting social media exchange, blogs began lighting up with rumours of beef between OTF and NBA. For his part, the father of six is attempting to combat the drama with yet another message written on his IG Story. “If I don’t say it out loud, it’s not real,” he reminded readers before asking them to “stop click-baiting Smurk.”
“Back to album,” he confirmed, though an official release date and other details surrounding the highly anticipated project are unknown at this time. Who do you hope to see Lil Durk work with on The Voice 2.0? Let us know in the comments, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.

The feud between OTF and Never Broke Again continues to escalate as Lil Durk and Quando Rondo appear to be revving up to release new music. Over the past few months, Durk’s continued to hint at the release of a new project, though he hasn’t provided much information on it. The rapper dropped his last album, 7220, over a year ago before releasing OTF’s Loyal Bros project in December. Clearly, he’s preparing to have the summer on lock with his follow-up.
In recent weeks, he’s hyped up the release. First, he mentioned that the forthcoming project “ain’t regular,” though he didn’t indicate what to expect. Most recently, he made it clear that he’s willing to step on anyone’s release date without fear. “I can drop this single and f*ck the streets up on god,” he wrote on Instagram this week. “Your release date ain’t safe son son.” It seemed unclear who is was targeting but the recent response from the Never Broke Again crew signals that they took it personally.
This morning, NBA Youngboy allegedly addressed Durk’s latest post in a series of tweets from a new account. YB didn’t mince his words, either, calling Durk “old” while proving Joe Budden’s theory that the “Stop The Violence” campaign didn’t come from a genuine place. “Kiss my ass bitch see me in the streets,” YB wrote on Twitter. “Old ass think he slick stop watching me,” he added in another tweet while referring to Durk as a fan.
Though Quando Rondo certainly doesn’t have the numbers to back him like Durk or Youngboy, he evidently has little issue with the Chicago rapper dropping on the same day as him. He responded to Durk’s post about release dates, writing, “Drop that shit we all on a time schedule!” Quando Rondo previously stated that his upcoming album will drop in a month, which he’ll dedicate to the late Lul Pab, who was fatally shot last summer. “Seen a lot of blood sweat and tears I lost my right hand man in front of my eyes I love you thug I’m going number 1 for you big brah,” Rondos said earlier this week.
Savannah, GA native Quando Rondo is putting down his blue flag and disavowing his allegiance to the Rollin 60s Crips after his friend Lul Pab was murdered in a shooting last month in which he was the intended target.
Rondo admitted that the gang life brought too much chaos in his life and wanted to just focus on himself and his family.
“It’s time for me to spend time to myself and free myself from a lot of people,” he wrote on his IG story. “My Main Manz Gone & a lot more shit I’m cool on alot of shit if I feel like you not with me it’s no reason for me To be holding on to you no need to shake your hand or fake some with you ! I’m Living Life How I wanna live life whatever I wanna do ima do it you gone either gone get with it or get lost.”
He continued to discuss his departure from gang life, saying that he’s not getting jumped out because his set never had any real loyalty to him.
“I’m my own man I layed my flag down I’m not NH yall ain’t gone ride for a n-gga foreal it’s no sense being apart of yall shit y’all fw the opposition,” he wrote. “Idgaf who feel hit Fucc u and if you can’t feel where I’m coming from on this you a bitch ass n-gga cuz it don’t take rocket science to c what the fuck going on errbody all ready hate me.”
Rondo continued, “I ain’t tripping on the extra hate I’m bout to focus on my family the ones who gone really drop a tear if I die !!!!!”
Rondo then addressed those who didn’t agree with his controversial decision, saying that the people trying to judge his decisions aren’t even on his level.
“Before you go to talking about another n-gga sit bacc and think like I don’t even got 200 bandz cuz you need way more than that to stand with me! Y’all n-ggas still think 20k is up. I can careless what somebody think get in my way and ima knocc you down simple NO CAP.”
Quando’s decision comes after being blamed in the the shooting death of King Von almost two years ago and most recently, watching his friend 23-year-old Lul Pab die in a drive by in Los Angeles in which it is believed he was the target of the assassins.
