Sauce Walka was reacting to his inclusion in JAY-Z’s annual year-end playlist, which showed love to everyone from vets to newcomers including the likes of Doechii, Ken Carson, Veeze and more.
Hov’s “Couple Songs of ’23” arrived on TIDAL on Thursday (December 21), kicking things off with a song that features his wife’s name, but not her vocals: André 3000‘s “Ninety Three ‘Til Infinity And Beyoncé.”

Of the aforementioned names, Jay included Ken Carson’s “Jennifer’s Body,” Veeze and Babyface Ray’s “Bosses Linking With Bosses” and Doechii’s breakout hit, “What It Is.”
Other, more seasoned artists like Drake, Offset, Latto and Cardi B, Nicki Minaj, and more also made the list, which Jay reportedly compiled during a live DJ set on Tidal hours before the playlist went live.
Most notable, however, is his inclusion of Diddy‘s “Boohoo” with Jeremih, despite the compounding allegations against the music mogul.
As for Sauce Walka himself, he’s had quite a financially successful year in music, given that he dropped a half-million dollars on a custom Johnny Dang chain back in June.
“You already know mane. King of Bling Johnny Dang. Big Money,” Dang said in an Instagram video, as he dropped the chain around Sauce’s neck. “Happy birthday, mane — we do this in Miami, right at the Chase bank.”

“Sauce Walka and Johnny Dang come get a half-a-million-dollar chain, in the bank. OooWee. King of Bling,” added Sauce before poking fun at Dang for briefly misplacing his check. “That’s how we do business. You don’t have to carry cash. Imagine counting half-a-million in $20 dollar — just one paper,” added Dang.
“Hell nah. OooWee. Let’s drip,” concluded Sauce offering a close-up of his Cuban link.
