Videos show the rapper, who was born Earl Stevens, talking to security at Golden 1 Center before leaving his courtside seats.

privilege: thinking you have a right to block the view of other courtside ticket payers behind you not just sitting down with your walnut head, walrus neck, and fluffy ho shoulder pads, but even standing up the whole game and sometimes walking out onto the court.

I was always under the impression that you’d have to spray the arena with automatic gunfire before you’d ever get ejected from those overpriced court side seats.
