Toya Redwing believes people were envious of her son. She also believes the rapper's life was taken in a set up.
Redwing took to Facebook on March 24 to make her feelings about Sayso P's death known. "This the type of lies and sh*t that keep mothers losing our sons," she asserted. "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." Toya Redwing continued to refute the rumor that Sayso P was involved in anything criminal in the lead up to his death. "He would give you his last before he would steal anything," Redwing asserted. "Please stop spreading rumors."
