E-40 was booted from Sacramento's Golden 1 Center playoff game on Saturday night. E-40 said racial racism caused his firing on Sunday.
"On Saturday night, I was subjected to disrespectful heckling over the course of the Warriors-Kings game in Sacramento," E-40 stated.
I confronted one heckler in the fourth quarter. After that, Kings' security concluded I started the fight and ejected me from the arena.
Unfortunately, it was another reminder that racial bigotry persists despite my success as a musician and business.
Security noticed a Black man and a white woman arguing and concluded I was at fault."
E-40 talks to security before departing courtside.
