Hip-Hop icon E-40 added a new title to his long list of accomplishments this past weekend—wedding officiant. The Bay Area legend presided over the marriage ceremony of Justin Kinder, a member of the family behind the popular Kinder’s Seasoning brand.
Known for his entrepreneurial ventures as much as his music, E-40 has built his own empire with wine, spirits, and food products, making his connection to the Kinder’s family a fitting one. The ceremony blended culture and community, with guests celebrating not only the couple’s union but also the shared values of family and legacy.
E-40, whose real name is Earl Stevens, has long championed Bay Area pride, and his presence at the event brought a special hometown touch to the occasion. For Justin Kinder and his bride, having one of Hip-Hop’s most respected voices lead their vows made for a wedding as memorable as it was unique.
