During Game 2 of the WNBA Finals on October 19, 2026, broadcasters incorrectly identified rapper Mistah F.A.B. as E-40. This follows a previous mix-up on October 9, where an announcer mistakenly labeled E-40 as Too Short. E-40 was not in attendance during Game 2, as he was watching the 49ers game in Santa Clara. The USA Sports broadcast team managed to avoid further errors by properly identifying Too Short, who was present at the event. The best-of-seven series will continue, providing broadcasters another chance to correctly identify local artists.
- •Game 2 took place at Chase Center in San Francisco.
- •Valkyries lost to Atlanta Dream, 79-65.
- •Announcer correctly identified Too Short but confused Mistah F.A.B. for E-40.
- •E-40 attended the 49ers' victory over the Commanders instead.
- •The series will return to Golden State for another game.
