Quando Rondo took to Instagram recently, revealing that he wishes he had kept his life more private. He wrote, “I wish I could take bacc all the times I put my business on the internet.” Known to share his business frequently with the internet, he’s previously thrown jabs online at former partners, haters, and more.
In March, Quando Rondo was accused of looking a Lil Durk look-alike in his “Soul Reaper” music video. He denied the claims, saying, “These fans make up anything.” “Man, you know, I’m growing my hair out right now. I’m tryna grow me some wicks, alright?” he added. “In my city, a lot of people do that style of hair,” he claimed. “With me being a celebrity, I guess people always say, ‘Oh, he got wicks. He’s tryna look like this dude and that dude,’ when you can go back to the Old Testament in the bible and [the dude] had wicks,” he said about the controversy in an interview with SAY CHEESE!
“It ain’t no such thing as people being the creator of this or this town, city, state or hood or dude or woman made this hair-do. Because if that’s the case, if I get a bald head, Michael Jordan made that? It’s a trend that’s going on. A lot of people have blonde hair. I love the blonde look so that was actually one of my homies who just had dyed their hair color and I really liked that color on him. It was nothing like that,” he said in the interview.
Quando Rondo also claimed in December that his girlfriend at the time betrayed him by hanging out with some of his rivals. He shared in an Instagram story, “This just on some real shit I’ll never fw follow like up up with an opp that Nie disrespect my dead homies and wanna harm me if I’m going through with the person I love or so call love.” He added, “I’ll never get under your skin that way! Fucc that shit tho ain’t no smoke about that shit y’all can have her on my soul.”

Emani Ellis’ $24 million lawsuit against Bronx rapper Cardi B didn’t go the way she had hoped. After about a week of trial, it took the 12-person jury less than an hour to dismiss the case entirely, rejecting her claims across the board.
Fast forward to Friday, October 31, Ellis is now trying for a second chance, according to MyNewsLA. Her attorney has submitted new paperwork to Judge Ian Fusselman, requesting a fresh hearing set for December 5. The main argument centers on claims that the jury didn’t have sufficient evidence to quickly clear Cardi B of any liability.
For now, that request hasn’t been approved.
The dispute traces back to an incident on February 24, 2018, at a Wilshire Boulevard OB-GYN clinic. At the time, Ellis was working as a security guard at the building when she encountered Cardi B, who was in the early stages of pregnancy — something that wasn’t yet known publicly.
Ellis accused the rapper of physically and verbally assaulting her, alleging that Cardi used racial insults during the encounter. She claimed to have suffered lasting emotional trauma, including PTSD, anxiety, and insomnia. Her lawsuit included allegations of assault, battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligence, and false imprisonment.
Cardi B has always maintained that the situation never became physical. However, she acknowledged that she did call Ellis a “b*tch.” “It was a verbal altercation. She didn’t hit me. I didn’t hit her. There was no touch. So, to me it wasn’t no incident,” Cardi explained.
After winning the case, the rapper warned that she would no longer tolerate what she sees as baseless lawsuits. “This time around, I’m going to be nice. The next person to try to do a frivolous lawsuit against me, I’m going to countersue, and I’m going to make you pay because this is not okay,” she said.
Reports from September suggested that Ellis intended to appeal the verdict, and her latest filing shows that effort is still underway.
