Sauce Walka Mourns Sayso P's Death, Calls for End to Violence

Houston rapper Sauce Walka is mourning the loss of his close friend and artist, Sayso P, who was tragically killed in a shooting in Memphis on March 22nd.

The two were attacked outside the Westin Hotel in Memphis when three gunmen reportedly jumped out of a vehicle and opened fire. Sauce Walka was shot in the leg but survived, while Sayso P did not make it. 

Less than a week after the shooting, Sauce Walka took to social media to express his grief and reflect on the heartbreaking loss. In an emotional post, he shared his regret that Sayso P didn’t listen to his advice that night. “Words or tears can’t explain the loss I feel! Splatt, I wish your fat ahh listened to me and stayed in the room,” he wrote. He recounted how he and others had warned Sayso to wait for security before stepping outside, but his friend was eager to go. 

Sauce Walka also reflected on their journey together, emphasizing how he had tried to help Sayso transition to a better life. “It’s been four years since @tsf1punch_10100 brought u to the familia… we been mashing and splashing together P,” he wrote, highlighting their bond and the success they built as a team. He made it clear that Sayso died as a “rich young boss,” proud of what they had accomplished. 

However, his tribute also carried a powerful message about violence in the hip-hop community. “I hope one day we all STOP TAKING LIVES from our communities and actually start to enjoy and build better futures,” he wrote. Despite his acceptance of the realities of street life, Sauce Walka’s words served as a sobering reminder of the cost of ongoing violence.
