Even E-40 is not immune to the recession. E-40, whose real name is Earl Stevens, recently closed the Fatburger franchise he partially owned in Pleasant Hill, Calif., near his hometown of Vallejo. Next up for the Bay Area MC is the resurrection of his "40 Water" flavored drinks -- and possibly another fast-food venture.
"I'm moving on from Fatburger because it didn't really take off like it did in Southern California," E-40 told the Los Angeles Times. "I'm moving on to Wing Stop ... that's where it's at."
Meanwhile, having his name attached to a shooting outside one of his shows in Denver led to his manager addressing the situation.
"E-40 and [his]
management want to state unequivocally that E-40 and his camp were uninvolved in the unfortunate incident at Club Vinyl in Denver on Dec. 27, 2008," Chaz Hayes said in a released statement. "Neither E-40 nor anyone traveling with him was in the venue at the time. In fact, E-40 had concluded his performance and [had] been back in the hotel room. During his time at the venue, and in fact during the trip to Denver as a whole, he encountered nothing but love and gave nothing but love back. E-40 had a crowd-pleasing and peaceful show. While he certainly regrets that this incident took place, E-40 and [his] camp are unable to control the poor and tragic choices that other adults choose to make."
Five people were injured in the shooting.
