Authorities allegedly arrested Sauce Walka on drug charges recently, according to a surfaced report from Rap House TV. Furthermore, police allegedly caught him with 66 grams of weed and charged with possessing, manufacturing, delivering, and selling with intent. Still, his bail set at $5K, which is lenient considering that many of his crew recently faced RICO charges following their arrest. However, it's unclear if these two arrests and attached charges are related in any way, though signs point to no relation.

Moreover, officials arrested 14 members of Walka's The Sauce Family back in December. Over 200 officials were part of the apprehension and on the case. Among specific charges listed in the case are drug trafficking and unlawful possession of a firearm. As we're currently seeing with the YSL case, RICO charges are serious business and an incredibly tough process to go through. While the rapper did not find himself implicated in these original arrests, prosecutors probably have a lot of questions for him. Regardless, these new weed charges seem like a small bump for Walka, who also had a bench warrant for no driver's license.

However, the 32-year-old vehemently denied being involved in the RICO case a couple of days after that news broke. “I don’t want to speak on this s**t too much but I see it’s so many people that’s just so joyous and so happy and hoping and praying that I go to jail in some way shape or form,” he said. “Well guess what you b***h a** mothaf***as? Let me tell you somethin’…. n***a, I’m not going to jail for s**t unless they have a crime for selling my d**k. That’s what I do. I don’t even sell b***hes, I sell my d**k.”

Meanwhile, none of these developments stopped Sauce from making music, and we wouldn't be surprised to hear from him soon. In fact, he recently formed part of a pretty crazy crossover for the track "Super Bowl." Teaming up with Conway The Machine and Juicy J, it was an eclectic, unexpected, but pleasant surprise. Other than that, come back to HNHH for more updates on these stories and the latest on Sauce Walka.
