According to Complex, the Imperfect Flower rapper confessed he had been sleeping in his car before the shooting happened, adding:
"In my mind, I’m just thinking regular, in reality like you would think. I’m about to let these people walk past me. I’m not about to try and go through these people or nothing like that."
Rondo continued:
"I’m thinking these were some regular individuals. … So I’m letting this group come by. Next thing you know, a n***a hit me. Boom bow. I lie to you not. It’s like I had an out-of-body experience."

While Quando Rondo is now coming to terms with his faith and seeking to walk a different path, the rapper had a long-standing beef with both Lil Durk and King Von.
Last year, when the Cream Soda rapper was invited to talk with the Dirty Glove Bastard in the Off The Porch series on May 25, he spoke of Durk:
"We blessed, we angels. But, on God … I ain’t tryna die for Durk. I’m not! I’mma keep it real!"

"I’d die for this man, though... N***a, if I knew, I’d lay down my life and die for this man. Slit throat. Right now, on God. Because I know — I know — he’d do the same for me. Sh*t, he almost did. I take that sh*t to heart."
