Rapper Flo Rida was sitting courtside for Game 7 of the Eastern Conference finals between the Miami Heat and Indiana Pacers on Monday night, and he told his manager to leave the game after things got out of control in the final minutes.
Heat guard Norris Cole and Pacers forward Jeff Pendergraph scrapped and were ejected. Cole elbowed Pendergraph, who was trying to screen him, and Pendergraph responded with a push. The two were trading trash talk by the sidelines, and apparently Flo Rida’s manager got a little crazy. At one point, he appeared to slap himself in the face:
TNT host Ernie Johnson said in the postgame show that Flo Rida asked his manager to leave the game after officials were upset with the manager for getting into it with Pendergraph. The rapper could then be seen with an empty chair next to him:
