- Bay Area rapper E-40 believes he was discriminated against when he was kicked out of the Sacramento Kings’ home game against the Golden State Warriors.
- “On Saturday night, I was subjected to disrespectful heckling over the course of the Warriors-Kings game in Sacramento,” he said. “I finally turned around and addressed one heckler in an assertive but polite manner. Yet, shortly thereafter, Kings’ security approached me, assumed that I instigated the encounter and proceeded to kick me out of the arena.
- He called the incident “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 I was at fault.”
