Houston rapper Sauce Walka has addressed the tragic loss of his close associate, Sayso P, after a fatal shooting in Memphis. In an emotional statement, he made it clear that he will not seek revenge, despite the pain of losing someone so close to him.
“If I wanted to, I could have motherf***ing 400, 500 different men, good men, down here,” Sauce Walka stated. “From different cities and states, including mine, ’round here ready to do whatever ’bout snapping my finger in retaliation for what happened to me and my little brother.”
However, he explained that retaliation is not the righteous path. “As much as it hurts my soul, and it really breaks me down… I can’t retaliate because that’s not righteous. Because my brother had his own dealings as a man that a n***a got to respect,” he continued.
Sauce Walka’s words reflect a desire to break the cycle of violence, even as he mourns the loss of his friend.
