The federal drug conspiracy charge is the important legal issue that Rondo has. In agreeing to conspire to participate in the drug distribution scheme, he has now opened up his liability to very severe legal ramifications. Federal drug conspiracy charges are severe, and sentencing might mean a lengthy prison term, depending upon unique factors in a case, such as his role in this particular conspiracy and any prior criminal history.

Subsequent to the various charges, Rondo made a public apology in the press, citing that he was remorseful of what he did and that his actions have maligned his community. The apology followed, prayed for atonement with all those to whom the action of drug trafficking had caused harm.

There are some residents who do appreciate his realization and, in fact, showing remorse for his actions; others remain critical because, as they view it, the implication of his involvement in criminal activities brings a negative effect on neighborhoods here.

The legal matter will likely affect his music career, public perception, and further opportunities that will come up within the industry.
