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.
"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."The Kings said they are investigating the circumstances behind the ejection.
The Kings said"E-40 was standing excessively and repeatedly blocking the view of guests behind him. After receiving multiple complaints, he was given a warning and refused to comply. There was a multiprong effort by Kings and Warriors security teams to deal with the situation, escort him from his seat, and avoid further disruption."
But a second person familiar with the situation, also speaking on condition of anonymity, told the AP E-40 was never given a warning by security about"excessive standing."
