The Sacramento Kings and a Bay Area hip-hop star who alleged “racial bias” for being kicked out of a playoff recreation stated the scenario resulted from an “unfortunate misunderstanding.”

The rapper E-40, whose actual title is Earl Stevens, and the group put out a joint assertion on Wednesday explaining what led to E-40 being ejected from the Golden 1 Center throughout Game 1 of a playoff sequence towards the Golden State Warriors on Saturday night time.

“After a series of thoughtful and transparent conversations, both parties agree that there was a miscommunication regarding circumstances that occurred during the Kings vs. Warriors game on Saturday night,” the assertion stated.

“Contrary to speculation, Mr. Earl “E-40” Stevens didn't stand excessively from his ticketed courtside seat; the result resulted from an unlucky misunderstanding between each events.”

The assertion highlighted the Kings’ historical past of selling social justice and racial equality and stated that E-40 will likely be welcomed again to the sector sooner or later.

E-40 is a distinguished Warriors fan and was even a part of the delegation that visited the White House earlier this season.

E-40 is understood for his collaborations with different artists, together with on songs corresponding to “I Don’t (Expletive) With You” with Big Sean, “Snap Yo Fingers” with Lil Jon and Sean Paul of YoungBloodZ, and “U And Dat” with T-Pain and Kandi Girl.
