Rapper Sauce Walka was injured in a targeted shooting in Memphis that claimed the life of his artist, Sayso P. Now, the mother of the slain rapper is speaking out against rumors surrounding her son’s death.
Toya Redwing, the mother of Sayso P—whose real name was Latorian Hunt—took to Facebook to refute speculation that her son was killed over allegations of stealing $200,000 during a dice game.
"This is the type of lies and s*** that KEEP mothers losing our sons," she wrote. "My son never stole anything. Never ran off with anything. Didn’t have to. Haters set him up, but not because he stole a dime. He would give you his last before he would steal anything."
She continued, "Please stop spreading rumors. Let me repeat that—he didn’t have to take s*** from anyone. Money wasn’t a factor for ExitEight Tank Da Bank. He was too loyal. Too loyal to the wrong people was his biggest downfall. Haters who were envious killed my baby, but I won’t let ya’ll steal his legacy. People see him with a stack and say anything. That was his NORM!"**
Memphis Police confirmed that the shooting was not a random act of violence but a targeted attack.
"We want to assure our community and visitors that downtown Memphis is a safe place. This incident was not a random act of violence," police stated.
Authorities added, "Early indications suggest that the victims and suspects knew each other. We understand the public’s concern and reiterate that this was not a random act. MPD is committed to bringing those responsible to justice and will be utilizing downtown camera footage and other available technology to identify everyone involved."
