Rapper Quando Rondo Sentenced to 33 Months in Federal Prison for Drug Charge

The Georgia artist pleaded guilty to conspiracy to possess and distribute marijuana, avoiding more severe charges through a plea deal.

Quando Rondo, born Tyquian Bowman, was sentenced to 33 months in prison, followed by three years of supervised release, and fined $40,000.
The rapper's plea deal led to the dismissal of charges related to methamphetamine, fentanyl, and cocaine, which could have carried a much longer sentence.
Federal prosecutors alleged Bowman had been involved in a sophisticated drug distribution scheme, including selling marijuana in packages linked to his music via QR codes.
Bowman apologized publicly to his hometown of Savannah, his family, and his fans, expressing remorse for his actions during his plea hearing in August.
The sentencing comes as Bowman continues to face legal challenges, including a civil lawsuit and his alleged involvement as a target in a murder-for-hire case tied to rapper Lil Durk.
