According to XXL, Quando Rondo just got sentenced to 33 months in prison after pleading guilty to a federal drug case back in August. The rapper appeared in court in Chatham County, GA, on December 11, where the judge handed down the sentence. On top of prison time, Quando’s gotta pay a $40K fine and serve 3 years of probation when he gets out. That means drug tests, mental health counseling, and mandatory educational programs. He was facing up to 5 years, but it could’ve been worse. His sentence starts on January 10, 2025.
Recently, Quando Rondo opened up about his conversion to Islam, sharing how it’s helping him turn his life around. In a candid interview with the “Open Book Platform,” he spoke about finding peace and guidance through his new faith. The rapper, who has faced a lot of controversy and beef, also expressed that he’s not opposed to settling his differences with Lil Durk, who is also Muslim. Quando emphasized how Islam encourages reconciliation and peace, showing that he’s focused on growing spiritually and leaving behind past conflicts. His journey reflects a desire for change, growth, and healing.
This was before Lil Durk was taken to jail by the feds. Ironically Smurk was on the same path Quando was on as well, making a closer relationship with his creator. The Chicago rapper grew up being Muslim as his father was big in the Muslim community in O Block. Bringing those two brothers together would have been huge for Hip-Hop. There have been too many senseless deaths and fans are tired of losing their favorite rappers to gun violence every year.
