Warriors fan, rapper E-40 ejected, blames 'racial bias'
Golden State Warriors fan and Bay Area hip-hop legend E-40 was kicked out of Saturday night's playoff game between the Warriors and Kings in Sacramento, California, and he said "racial bias" led to his dismissal.
Videos show the rapper, who was born Earl Stevens, talking to security at Golden 1 Center before leaving his courtside seats.
The rapper issued a statement telling his side of the events, explaining that after being "subjected to disrespectful heckling" throughout the game, in the fourth quarter he "turned around and addressed one heckler in an assertive but polite manner."
