Rapper and Golden State Warriors fan E-40 blamed "racial bias" for getting kicked out of the Sacramento Kings-Warriors playoff game on Saturday night.

The situation unfolded in the fourth quarter of the Kings win, with video showing E-40 talking to security before leaving the arena.

E-40 released a statement on Sunday, saying that after being subjected to "disrespectful heckling," he "turned around and addressed one heckler in an assertive but polite manner."

"Kings security approached me, assumed I instigated the encounter and proceeded to kick me out of the arena. Unfortunately, it was yet another reminder that -- despite my success and accolades as a musician and entrepreneur -- racial bias remains prevalent," added E-40 in the statement.

Golden 1 Center security believed that E-40 stood excessively and blocked the views of fans behind him. 

The Kings announced that they will investigate the situation. 

E-40 currently sits courtside at Golden State's Chase Center next to the Warriors bench.
