E-40 released a statement to NBA writer Marc Spears saying, "On Saturday night, I was subjected to disrespectful heckling over the course of the Warriors-Kings game in Sacramento. During the fourth quarter, I finally turned around and addressed one heckler in an assertive but polite manner." "E-40 turned around and I think he used some words that I should not probably repeat but he used that towards the fans which is all documented on the video and so there was a back and forth between the fans that was behind E-40 and the person who was with him," said Singh.
Yes, shortly thereafter, Kings' security approached me, assumed that I instigated the encounter and proceeded to kick me out of the arena.
