Quando Rondo has secured a plea deal with prosecutors in his federal drug conspiracy case.
The controversial rapper was initially facing up to 20 years in prison after being arrested along with 18 other men last June on charges of drug conspiracy and participating in gang activity.

Now, United States Attorney Jill E. Steinberg filed documentation in the Southern District of Georgia to say that a plea deal has been agreed between the prosecution and Rondo.
The details of the plea, including if Rondo will serve any jail time, have not yet been released. The judge overseeing the case has also yet to formally make a decision on the agreement.

Rondo and his representatives have also yet to comment on the developments in the case.
When arrested, Rondo (real name Tyquian Bowman) was charged with 14 counts including possession of a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime, possession of a firearm by a prohibited person and conspiracy to interfere with commerce by robbery, as well as conspiring with others to possess and distribute drugs including methamphetamine, fentanyl, cocaine and marijuana.

He was previously charged with two counts of conspiracy to violate Georgia’s controlled substances law, one count of participating in criminal activity affiliated with a street gang, and one count of illegal use of a cell phone to facilitate a drug deal.
The 25-year-old was released from jail on bond shortly before Christmas after paying $100,000 bail.
Quando was then put on house arrest and had a number of bail conditions he had to strictly adhere to including enrolling in substance abuse treatment, surrendering his passport, having his location monitored, avoiding contact with any victims, witnesses or co-defendants and not changing his phone number.
Things have been looking better for Rondo more recently as he has gotten sober and celebrated eight months off drugs.
