WNBA broadcasters mistakenly identify rap legends during Finals coverage
Summary

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.
