Last week, news of Lil Durk’s arrest in Broward County, Florida shook social media. The famous Chicago rapper was reportedly involved in a murder-for-hire plot and is currently detained in a Miami prison, awaiting transport to Los Angeles for further legal proceedings. Durk’s arrest took place only a few hours after five other OTF members (Only the Family, a rap group founded by Lil Durk) were taken into custody on similar charges. Investigators believe that this group was hired to assassinate Quando Rondo in retaliation for the 2020 death of rapper King Von.
Looking back to 2022, Quando Rondo and his cousin Lul Pab were attacked while parked at a gas station in Los Angeles. Their vehicle was shot multiple times; Rondo escaped unscathed, but Lul Pab did not survive his severe injuries. The incident shocked the rap community and sparked heated discussions about revenge in the rap world, with many believing it was a response to King Von’s death.
Following Lil Durk’s arrest, fans eagerly awaited a reaction from Quando Rondo. Only a day later, Rondo released a new song titled “Life Goes On,” accompanied by a cinematic and emotional music video. The song delves into the pain of loss and serves as a tribute to Lul Pab and other loved ones he’s lost. With its somber melody and heartfelt lyrics, “Life Goes On” quickly resonated with listeners, especially those who have followed Rondo’s journey.

Although Quando Rondo initially refrained from commenting directly on Lil Durk’s arrest, he recently shared a lengthy Instagram post about forgiveness, leaving fans wondering about his thoughts. While he did not mention Durk by name, Rondo’s message seemed to address the legal turmoil that Durk now faces. “We didn’t get into this music industry to make it just to stay caught up in this street sh*t,” Rondo wrote, beginning with a meaningful reflection. “We all have families and communities counting on us. It’s time to leave all that behind. We’ve already lost so much, and the heaviest thing on my heart right now is to forgive anyone I had issues with in the past. It’s all love from me. Praying for everyone. ‘Life Goes On.’”
Quando Rondo’s message moved many fans, especially since it comes from someone who has personally faced significant loss. His words reflect his growth from a young artist involved in past conflicts to a mature man who values peace and wants to move forward. Forgiveness, for him, is not only a personal choice but also a positive message for the rap community, where conflict is often seen as part of the industry.
While Lil Durk now prepares for his court appearance and an uncertain future, fans remain divided in their views. Some feel saddened to see their idol caught up in legal troubles, while others believe that Durk and his crew need to face the consequences of their actions. Still, many hope this incident will serve as a wake-up call for the younger generation in the music industry, encouraging them to avoid violent conflicts.

Quando Rondo’s emotional reaction has also reminded fans of the losses he and the rap community have endured in recent years. From the death of King Von to the passing of Lul Pab, the pain and loss have created a cycle of grief, demanding that artists consider their responsibilities to their lives. Rondo seems to have gained clarity in realizing this as he calls for peace and forgiveness—not only for himself but for those who have been lost and the broader community.
With the release of “Life Goes On” and his heartfelt message on forgiveness, Quando Rondo reveals a deeper, more meaningful side of himself. The song serves as a tribute to Lul Pab and a message to us all: despite the pain and loss, “life goes on.”
