Quando Rondo has surprised fans with his response to Lil Durk’s recent arrest, linked to the alleged murder-for-hire plot that targeted his late cousin, Lul Pab.
Instead of fueling tensions, Rondo offered an unexpected message of peace and forgiveness over the weekend while promoting his new single, Life Goes On.
The Georgia rapper used Instagram to express his stance, calling for an end to the street conflicts that have often dominated his and Durk’s paths.
He explained that artists enter the music industry to succeed, not to stay trapped in street violence, adding that he and his peers have families and communities who depend on them.
According to Rondo, now is the time to let go of these long-standing conflicts. He also acknowledged the weight of loss and emphasized a desire to forgive those he once saw as rivals, noting that he holds no ill will and hopes for the best for everyone involved.

Rondo’s message of positivity extends through his new track, Life Goes On, where he explores his decision to leave behind street feuds and focus instead on faith. The song suggests that affiliations and colors dividing people are no longer his focus, as he emphasizes his choice to embrace a life more grounded in peace. The track also alludes to the pain of losing his cousin, Lul Pab, allegedly killed by members of Lil Durk’s Only the Family (OTF) crew. In one verse, Rondo reflects on the high cost of these conflicts, suggesting that his cousin’s life was lost to a cycle of street violence over money and rivalries.
Lil Durk’s arrest last week sent shockwaves through the hip-hop community. Authorities detained him on charges of murder-for-hire in connection with a planned attack on Quando Rondo in 2022 at a gas station in Los Angeles. The alleged attempt missed its mark, leading to the tragic death of Rondo’s cousin, who was with him at the time. Prosecutors claim that OTF resources were involved in the planning, with flights and rentals covered by OTF-associated finances. Alongside Durk, five other individuals face charges of conspiracy to commit murder-for-hire, and all are expected to be transported to Los Angeles soon to await their court appearances.
