Sauce Walka set the internet ablaze when he called Drake out for not giving back to Houston and not working with their artists. Bun B responded to defend himself and Boi-1da stepped up to defend the 37-year-old rapper.
Walka admitted that the Toronto superstar has worked with the UGK legend, but claimed that Bun is not actually from Houston, despite what is often stated. “No disrespect to Bun B, [but] he’s from Port Arthur; he’s not from Houston,” he said. “This is Houston, Texas we talking about.”
The Trill Burgers owner responded via Instagram and wrote, “Born in Houston. Northwood Manor. Moved to West Side PA in 6th grade. None taken.” Bun previously called Drake one of their own, so him saying anything shouldn’t come as a shock.
As for Boi-1da, he took a more defensive approach in honor of Drake. Akademiks shared Sauce Walka’s comments on Instagram and a fan jumped into the comments. “Travis, Bun B, Pimp C, OG Ron C, DJ Screw, Multiple Houston producers etc…the sense of entitlement is crazy though,” they wrote, listing people the 6 God has worked with in the past. “Selective memory [laughing emoji],” the Grammy-winning producer added.
Sauce made his initial comments during an interview with The Breakfast Club, calling out the “It’s Up” artist for not investing in Houston artists the same way he has with other major cities. “Still to this day, why does Drake not have a bunch of records with Houston artists? You’ve been doing that with Atlanta. It’s 7, 8, 9, 15 artists that you got songs with in Atlanta,” he said. “Because why? Not only would the city of Atlanta look at you weird for not doing that, but you knew that it was also beneficial for you to make music with [artists who are on a similar level to you].”
He also clarified that he was not advocating for himself to get a feature from the father of one. “F**k me, I don’t care. It’s bigger than me. I don’t care about [him doing] a song with me,” he said. “Travis Scott is still the only rapper that’s got a song with Drake. It makes sense ’cause it’s an equal trade. […] If you are using the lineage and the culture of somebody’s city, do something that helps not yourself; do something that actually makes the economy of that city and music bigger and greater.”
