RALEIGH, N.C. — Nathan Taylor, owner of Koa Pro Detail, a mobile car detailing service in the Raleigh/Wake County area, went viral on TikTok (@nathannnv23) after claiming he was surrounded, beaten, hit across the face with a pistol, and robbed by several men allegedly tied to Sauce Walka’s crew.
Taylor says he was contacted to clean two vehicles for what was pitched as a video shoot or promo tied to the Houston rapper. After finishing the job, things allegedly turned ugly. He said payment was refused, cornered him, and violence erupted.
One man allegedly pulled out a gun and struck Taylor in the face, knocking him to the ground, Taylor recounted.
“Everything went black for five to ten seconds.” While trying to escape, he claims they kept punching him in the back of the head and body.
His dog, Koa, was with him the whole time. Taylor said he was holding onto her tightly because “if she had gotten loose, they would have killed her.” Shaken and injured, he managed to get into his car, lock the doors, and drive away.
Taylor has described suffering a serious concussion, dizziness, emotional distress, and has returned to the hospital for further testing, including a CT scan. He says both he and his dog are traumatized — Koa now refuses to leave his side.
Sauce Walka Not Accused of Touching Him
From the beginning, Taylor has been clear on one point. Sauce Walka himself did not physically attack him.
In a follow-up video, Taylor stated: “He didn’t touch me… I never even met him. But his main guys are the ones who hurt me.”
He previously named Omari Martin (owner of Way Too Tuft / rug guy) as the person who booked the detail, claiming Martin “set all of this up,” signed terms, and “lured” him out there — though Martin did not personally assault him, according to Taylor.
Sauce Walka Responds: “Never Met Him, Never Asked For a Wash”
Now Sauce Walka has dropped his own response video, directly addressing the allegations.
In the clip, Sauce Walka says he never met Nathan Taylor, never saw him, never saw the dog, and never requested or knew about any car wash.
“My car is still dirty, brother. My car ain’t clean… Dirt. Dirt. Dirt. Fingerprints, dirty, dirt,” he says while showing his vehicle, insisting nobody touched it and he never wanted it cleaned.
He said he came to Raleigh for real business — partnering with a store, promoting, meeting fans, and closing deals — not for videos, rap performances, or getting a detail.
Sauce suggests someone (pointing fingers toward Omari Martin) may have lied and used his name for leverage.
He stated there were “a thousand cameras around that b***h” and no photos, videos, or interactions exist between him and Taylor — unlike the many fans who did get pics and videos with him.
Sauce went on to expresses sympathy for Taylor and the dog:
“It is very unfortunate that you went through what you went through, young man. I apologize for you and your dog.”
But he’s heated about his name being dragged:
“Why is my name being associated with it? Why are you trying to tarnish my name and my business?”
He doubles down that he’s a “working man” who doesn’t care about clean cars or looking cute while grinding.
“If I hit you, young man, if I touch you, you would need a lot more than a band-aid. And I would be in jail already.”
There have bee no arrests reported in connection with the alleged assault.
