UPDATE: Flo Rida’s Manager Ejected from Pacers/Heat Game (Eastern Conf. Finals)

June 4, 2013 JUKEBOXDC Staff News No Comments  

UPDATE: So, the manager in question is Lee “Freezy” Prince, who really is a die hard fan when it comes to the teams from his hometown, and for that, he gets my utmost respect (I come from an area where half it’s residents rep for a team halfway across the country, which is sad in itself). He spoke to MTV via email, and was pretty straightforward about it:

“The feeling of the Miami Heat win became too much for them, so when they got physical I got vocal….I’m not a fair weather fan; we go hard in Dade County.”

In addition to that, he got to hand with the team after the game anyway. So he wins.

****************************************

The manager for the rapper Flo Rida was ejected from his courtside seat during the fourth quarter of Game 7 of the 2013 Eastern Conference finals between the Indiana Pacers and Miami Heat. He was ejected immediately after a skirmish between Jeff Pendergraph and Norris Cole:

From MTV:

In April, Reebok severed ties with Rozay after mounting pressure from women’s rights organizations like UltraViolet, which charged that the rapper was promoting rape with a controversial lyric on Rocko’s “U.O.E.N.O.” Though Ross repeatedly expressed that was never his intention, the incident did raise questions about a rapper’s responsibility and brand endorsements.

“It most definitely was a learning situation and just for the little homeys, just something for them to take away,” Ross said, referring to his Maybach Music Group artists. “That’s what’s important to me, what they take away from it,” he added as MTV News sat down with him and his MMG crew to promote their upcoming August 6 compilation, Self Made, Vol. 3.

In related news, Rick Ross apparently bullied TMZ into filming him (I’m sure all parties were kidding):
