In a recent development, popular rapper Quando Rondo, hailing from Savannah, GA, and affiliated with Never Broke Again Records, has been arrested in his hometown. The charges against him include two counts of conspiracy to violate Georgia’s controlled substances law, one count of participating in criminal activity linked to a street gang, and one count of illegal use of a cell phone for facilitating a drug deal. Reports indicate that other individuals associated with him were involved in trafficking various illegal substances, such as cocaine, M30 pills, hydrocodone pills, and fentanyl. Additionally, drug sales were allegedly coordinated using jail phones, and a house on 1301 E. 39th Street was reportedly used as a hub for these activities.
Quando Rondo was apprehended alongside 18 other individuals who are believed to have engaged in drug deals between October 2022 and June 2023. The grand jury indictment comprises a total of 49 counts for all those involved. Rondo, who allegedly has ties to the Rollin 60s gang, is accused of tasks such as assigning another defendant to negotiate drug prices and making trips to Macon, GA to settle payments with the supplier. He is even alleged to have instructed his associates to acquire firearms after encountering a rival at a movie theater.
Surprisingly, despite the serious charges, Quando Rondo has been granted a significant bond amount. According to reports from WSB-TV 2, the bond has been set at $100,000. This decision was made after authorities acknowledged Rondo’s swift surrender to the police after learning about the warrant for his arrest.
“The court finds it significant that the defendant surrendered himself for arrest the day after he learned of the warrant for his arrest.”
However, certain stipulations are in place following the posting of the bond. These include surrendering passports, maintaining no contact with codefendants, and attending all court hearings as required.
This latest development has drawn attention due to Rondo’s prominence in the music industry and his connection to Never Broke Again Records. The case brings to light issues related to drug trafficking, gang affiliations, and the potential consequences faced by individuals involved in such activities.
As the legal proceedings continue, the outcome of the case will be closely watched by fans, the music community, and those concerned about the impact of drugs and gang-related activities on society.
