Can’t believe some dour, grade A, extreme hater got the homie, Bay Area rapper E-40 kicked out last night’s NBA playoff game between the Warriors and the Kings in Sacramento. The reason why? Because he was standing up and cheering in a tight back-and-forth nail-biter of a game. The woman in question wanted E-40 to sit at a game with everyone on the edge of their seat. Everyone knows 40 reps all of Northern Cali and has for many moons. This is a bad look on all those responsible..The woman with her gentrifying-like complaints was bad enough.. but the fact the security with the blessings of the Sacramento Kings was an even worse bad look..what next, people clapping too loud? Sac, that was a game goofy thing to do… Smdh Gavin Newsom, how u let this happen on ur watch?
Below is the full statement issued by E-40
On Saturday night, I was subjected to disrespectful heckling over the course of the Warriors-Kings game in Sacramento. During the fourth quarter, I finally turned around and addressed one heckler in an assertive but polite manner.
Yes, shortly thereafter, Kings’ security approached me, assumed that I instigated the encounter and proceeded to kick me out of the arena.
Unfortunately, it was yet another reminder that—despite my success and accolades as a musician and entrepreneur—racial bias remains prevalent. Security saw a disagreement between a Black man and a white woman and immediately assumed that I was at fault.
I’ve attended countless NBA games throughout my lifetime and have always prided myself in my professionalism, so this experience has been jarring.”
