Sayso P's mom is clearing the air about her late son's alleged penchant for thievery.
The Memphis rapper, whose real name is Latorian Hunt, was shot dead on Saturday afternoon in an incident that took place outside the Westin Memphis Beale Street near the FedExForum. Houston rapper Albert Walker Mondane, better known as Sauce Walka, was left injured.
Rumors have since begun swirling about Sayso P allegedly “running off” with $200,000, leading to his slaying. However, his mom, Toya Redwing, took to social media to refute these rumors in a statement, asserting that her son "never stole anything."
"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!" she declared online.
Everything we know about Sayso P's demise as mom swears her late son "didn't have to" steal anything:
In her statement on Facebook, Sayso P's mom said, in part:
"This is the type of lies and sh*t that KEEP mothers losing our sons. 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. Please stop spreading rumors. Let me repeat that, He didn't have to take sh*t from anyone."
According to the Memphis Police Department, "This appears to be an isolated incident, not random violence." They have since revealed that officials have "identified the suspect vehicle and are actively working to make an arrest."
During a press conference over the weekend, MPD Assistant Chief Don Crowe revealed that officials are on the lookout for a white sedan with four doors, which he said was used by the suspects to get out of an open fire before fleeing. The incident took place at 2:45 p.m. on Saturday.
"We want to assure our community and visitors that Downtown Memphis is a safe place," MPD said, according to Commerical Appeal. "This incident was not a random act of violence. Early indications are that the victims and suspects are known to 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 technology available to aid in identifying everyone involved."
At the time of writing, no arrests relating to Sayso P's death have been made, and MPD is calling on anyone with pertinent information to call CrimeStoppers at (901) 528-2274.
