After accusing the Kings’ security department of “racism” following his ejection from the Golden 1 Center in Game 1, E-40 co-signed a statement with franchise executives to end the dispute.
“After a series of thoughtful and transparent discussions, both parties agree that there was a misunderstanding of the facts that unfolded during the game between the Kings and the Warriors on Saturday night” can we read in the press release. “Contrary to speculation, Mr. Earl ‘E-40’ Stevens did not rise exaggeratedly from his seat at the edge of the field. The outcome is the fruit of an unfortunate misunderstanding between the two parties”.
Initially, the rapper fell out with a female spectator who allegedly blamed him for constantly getting up and preventing her from seeing the game. Security intervened without notifying the rapper beforehand, and without trying to find out the origin of the incident.
“The Kings will continue to fairly enforce the NBA Fan Code of Conduct to ensure spectators can comfortably enjoy games without disrespectful heckling or other disturbing behavior”can we still read. “The franchise has long been a leader in promoting social justice and ethnic equality, with verifiable results and community impact. »
The franchise assures that E-40 will be welcome for future meetings, and until he returns to the Golden 1 Center, he will be front row tonight at the Chase Center for Game 3.
