In Savannah, Georgia, a judge made a significant ruling on Thursday concerning rapper Quando Rondo, also known as Tyquian Terrel Bowman. The judge decided that in order to avoid jail while awaiting trial on gang and drug charges, Rondo must abide by certain conditions.
One of the conditions set by the judge is that the 24-year-old rapper is no longer allowed to drive. Additionally, Rondo will be required to undergo drug testing during this period.
The courtroom appearance took place after prosecutors attempted, but failed, to have Rondo’s $100,000 bail revoked. He had posted bail shortly after his indictment the previous month.
A recent incident involving Rondo’s car crash on July 19 raised concerns, especially since it occurred just weeks after he was released from jail. Prosecutors revealed that emergency responders administered Narcan, a drug used to treat opioid overdoses, at the scene because Rondo displayed symptoms of an overdose.

A recent incident involving Rondo’s car crash on July 19 raised concerns, especially since it occurred just weeks after he was released from jail. Prosecutors revealed that emergency responders administered Narcan, a drug used to treat opioid overdoses, at the scene because Rondo displayed symptoms of an overdose.
In the latest development of rapper Quando Rondo’s case, his attorney, Kimberly Copeland, informed the judge that he wasn’t driving recklessly during the car crash incident. Copeland also mentioned that Rondo had a prescription for some of the drugs found in his system at the time of the crash, as reported by WTOC-TV.
Despite the arguments put forward by Rondo’s attorney, Chatham County Superior Court Judge Tammy Stokes imposed additional restrictions on him to remain free before his trial. Judge Stokes acknowledged Rondo’s potential and emphasized that he is a young man with a promising career ahead of him. However, she stressed that it is ultimately up to Rondo to make the right choices.
The rapper, Tyquian Terrel Bowman (Quando Rondo), along with 18 others, was indicted by a Chatham County grand jury the previous month. Bowman is facing four charges, which include being a manager of the illegal street gang “Rollin’ 60’s.” He also faces charges related to conspiring with others to distribute marijuana and acquire pills of the opioid hydrocodone.
It has been revealed that there may be additional charges pending, stemming from the car crash incident.
Quando Rondo gained popularity with singles like “I Remember” and “ABG,” which led to a deal with Atlantic Records. His debut album, “QPac,” was released in 2020, followed by his second album, “Recovery,” which came out in March.
