Bay Area rap legend and avid Golden State Warriors fan, E-40, is asking the Sacramento Kings to investigate his removal from Game 1 of the Kings and Warriors’ first-round playoff series on Saturday.
The rapper, whose real name is Earl Tywone Stevens Sr., was among a star-studded group to attend the premier matchup of the Northern California battle at the Golden 1 Center in Sacramento, which also marked the Kings’ first playoff appearance since 2006.
“On Saturday night, I was subjected to disrespectful heckling,” Stevens said in a statement issued to The Athletics’ Shams Charania.
