If someone said Big3 said it, yes.
But if someone is telling you that Big3 said it, then no.
I.e. is it first hand or second hand information?

Seems to me that if it's a quoted response, it should read like this:
Q: "What did Big3 say?"
A: He said; "Poor people smell." OR "Poor people smell."
The tricky one is: "Big3 said poor people smell." because it seems redundant in context with the Q... but I don't think it's correct, as a quoted response, to write "Poor people smell, Big3 said".
The only scenario I've seen with regard for the way Tore presented it was in it's actual proper narrative form: "Poor people smell.", Big3 said.
You usually see this in any literature where the narrator is quoting. The narrator doesn't quote his narration, therefore the quotations surround only the quote, and the comma separates the quote from the narration.
