The Sacramento Kings are investigating allegations from a Bay Area hip-hop star that “racial bias” led to him being kicked out of his seat during a playoff game against the Golden State Warriors.
The rapper E-40 said in a statement that he was heckled throughout the game Saturday night and addressed one heckler « in an assertive but polite manner” before security guards came and ordered him to leave the arena.
« Unfortunately, it was yet another reminder that — despite my success and accolades as a musician and entrepreneur — racial bias remains prevalent, » he said in a statement. « Security saw a disagreement between a Black man and a white woman and immediately assumed that I was at fault.
