On Wednesday, December 11, rapper Quando Rondo was sentenced to 33 months in prison for conspiring to possess and distribute marijuana. The sentencing comes just four months after the rapper, real name Tyquian Bowman, pleaded guilty to federal drug conspiracy.

According to WJCL News, the defense asked the judge for 24 months, much less than the prosecution, who asked for 37 months. The 33-month sentence equates to 2 years and 9 months, which Rondo reportedly accepted and gave a personal statement in court. "I did the wrong thing. And I'm getting punished for it. So, I want you to know that you actually get punished for doing wrong things. Just do the right thing,” he reportedly told the court.

Post-hearing, the 25-year-old rapper told WJCL he plans to “rehabilitate” himself while behind bars. After his prison sentence, Rondo must undergo three years of supervised release and pay a $40,000 fine. The rapper also has to take part in mental health treatment, submit routine drug tests, and additionally, will be unable to speak with known gang members. Rondo will begin his sentence at either FCI Jesup or FCI Estil on January 10, 2025, after reporting to the Bureau of Prisons.

The sentence comes nearly two months after Grammy Award winner Lil Durk was arrested in Florida and charged with murder-for-hire involving an alleged plot to kill Rondo, said to be in retaliation over the 2020 murder of King Von. Durk, who’s pleaded not guilty to the charges, could serve a life prison sentence alongside co-defendants.
