LOS ANGELES- Rapper E-40 was ejected from Saturday night’s playoff game at the Golden 1 Center in Sacramento.
The Bay Area rapper released a statement on Sunday, claiming he was kicked out of the arena due to racial bias.
He wrote: “On Saturday night, I was subjected to disrespectful heckling over the course of the Warriors-Kings game in Sacramento,” he wrote. “During the fourth quarter, I finally turned around and addressed one heckler in an assertive manner. Yet, shortly thereafter, King’s security approached me, assumed that I instigated the encounter and proceeded to kick me out of the arena.”
He added “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.”
The rapper, a Warriors fan, has courtside seats next to the Warriors bench at their home arena.
