Career
Sauce Walka started his rapping career in 2007 under the name A-Walk as part of a Houston rap group called Mostheard. He began releasing mixtapes as Sauce Walka in 2014, in the same year forming the duo Sauce Twinz with another rapper, Sancho Saucy. Sauce Walka credits himself with popularizing the modern usage of the hip-hop slang term "drip", a word he uses extensively throughout his lyrics.

Legal issues
Sauce Walka was involved in a gun-related incident in summer 2009. Court records show that he pleaded guilty to deadly conduct after being charged with shooting and wounding a person during a concert at Texas Southern University, which resulted in him serving community supervision. In 2018, Houston Police told KPRC that he was involved in a criminal street gang called "Mash Mode" in 2009, at the time using the name "A-Walk".

In 2018, Texas state court documents described The Sauce Factory as a "documented gang" and "known for criminal activity". In response to the accusations, Sauce Walka said, "I'm going to keep rapping because I know I'm not a gang. I know we're not a gang, I know that I'm a record label, I know that I'm an artist [...] I'm not into gang activity or none of that stuff that's going on, I'm not worried about that, it's not what's going on."

In December 2023, he was arrested after driving more than 130 mph, and also evading Houston Police Department officers for a two mile chase. During the chase, Sauce Walka also got involved in a car wreck and was briefly hospitalized. He was initially released after posting a $15,000 bond, but was then sent back to prison after he was officially charged with evading arrest or detention, with a judge also increasing his bond to $35,000.
