Sauce Walka Won’t Retaliate For Sayso P’s Death
Earlier this week, Memphis authorities released video footage of the incident. The shooter has now been identified. 21-year-old Jayden Dandridge is currently wanted for Sayso P’s murder. But despite knowing the identity of the suspect, Sauce Walka says he will not retaliate.
“If I wanted to, I could have motherf***ing 400, 500 different men, good men, down here 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. As much as it hurts my soul, and it really breaks me down… I can’t retaliate because that’s not righteous,” Sauce explained.
“Because my brother had his own dealings as a man that a n***a got to respect. A motherf***er had the opportunity to make me 100% accountable for the same thing that they felt… Whatever the situation is.”
The entire incident was peculiar, to say the least. From the video evidence, the gunmen had both Sayso P and Sauce Walka dead to rights. However, they only appeared to want to harm Sayso P. Rumors began to circulate that the artist had issues with people out in Memphis. And those people came looking for Sayso P, once he revealed that he was in the city on social media. And they appeared to spare Sauce Walka who only sustained minor injuries.
“But whatever it was, they could’ve held me the same level of accountable that they did him and took my life for no reason. The same way whatever his was taken for. At the end of the day, I got to be a man and be an honorable gangster,” Sauce added.
