SAVANNAH, Ga. — Georgia rapper Quando Rondo was sentenced to two years and nine months in prison on Wednesday after pleading guilty to federal drug charges earlier this year.
The rapper, whose real name is Tyquian Terrel Bowman, 25, pleaded guilty in August to a single count of conspiracy to possess and distribute marijuana.

Prosecutors agreed to drop additional criminal counts in a December indictment that charged Bowman with conspiring with others to possess and distribute drugs including methamphetamine, fentanyl, cocaine, and marijuana.
After his plea hearing last summer, Bowman apologized publicly to the people of Savannah and his family.
As Quando Rondo, the rapper’s singles “I Remember” and “ABG” led to a deal with Atlantic Records, which released his debut album, “QPac,” in 2020. His follow-up album, “Recovery,” came out last year.
