Much like the supposed marriage between Drake and Nicki Minaj, it looks as though the beef between G-Unit members 50 Cent and Lloyd Banks can be chalked up to nothing more than a prank.
Fans were shocked to see 50 Cent recently calling out Lloyd Banks over Twitter for allegedly not wanting Eminem to be on his next album, Hunger For More 2.
The “beef” came to a head when a video was posted of Banks being confronted by Eminem and 50 Cent, where the two superstar rappers questioned Banks about not wanting Em on his project.
“So Fif had mentioned to me that he wanted me to jump on your record or whatever and I got a little bit of down time coming up this week when this is all done,” says Shady to Banks in the video (watch below). “But I guess [manager] Paul [Rosenberg] had reached out or whatever to see if you wanted me to be on the record, and he said you weren’t sure if you wanted to have me on the record or whatever.”
Banks began to deny Eminem’s assertion, but before he could continue, 50 jumped into the fray. “Man, this shit is getting crazy. I’m gonna be straight up with you, all right? I think this shit is getting a little funny between me, you and [Tony] Yayo and everything else that’s going on, because look at how crazy it is actually getting him to rap on your record, and I don’t understand what’s going on anymore. I don’t know; when I talked to Paul, Paul pulled me to the side and he’s talking to me like, ‘Yo, what’s going on? Why you don’t want Em? Are you kidding me? He’s the biggest rapper, you can’t get any bigger.'”
At the height of the tension, Eminem interrupted, saying, “well maybe this is pretty big right here,” pulling out a plaque commemorating the success of Banks’ single, “Beamer, Benz or Bentley.” It was then revealed to Banks that the “confrontation” was being filmed the entire time.
IT WAS A PRANK!? I could have sworn that they were serious. I mean… Giving him a plaque and all in the midst of the drama. Jesus Christ… No shit.
Shit was hilarious. Now I wanna hear this Eminem and Banks track. Hopefully that actually happens.
who actually cares about this clown?
This is seriously the lamest fucking website I go to. You guys were dope like 4 years ago but between the TMZ like stories and the consistent grammar/spelling errors I’m fed up. You idiots realize you just got made a story for something so obvious a 3 year old would have known it was a prank. How fucking slow are you guys? Who thought “Yeah let’s make this a story”? I’m done with you clowns, I’ll get my hiphop news elsewhere and encourage everyone else too as well. Morons.
Exactly HipHopDx is hot garbage
I’m a G-Unit fan, but this is the stupidest shit ever. Just release another album! Stop whoring yourself out over twitter!

Lately the news on here has been on some bullshit..We all knew and could care less that it was prank..fuck outtahere..who cares if banks didnt want him on the album anyway..just make good music niggas..fuck a twitter update i wanna hear some bars my nigga..
WTF???
C’mon hhdx, we already knew that was a prank, was this really necessary??
I guess you must have a really low opinion of your sites visitors or summin, speaking for myself tho, I knew this was a prank
NO SHIT!!
Seriously though, you HHDX guys are some stupid mofos for believing that shit in the first place.
The man got a Gold plaque for the success of his record, why the f*ck are you monkeys hatin on that???…I guess yall mad that yall favorite rapper ain’t having success like Bank$ thats what it is…By the way Officer Ross-Ricky hasn’t sold Gold since he started that fake beef remember, none of his songs have recieved certified RIAA Gold credit! DeepThanRap, CCC, n TeflonDon all flopped None of them are Gold not even a single song! Keep hating on Bank$ cuz he got 3xPlatinum album in HFM1 and Gold for his BBB hit!
Noone was hating the fact that he got a gold plaque. Idiot.. Noone said anything about “Officer Ricky” either. Noone was hating on Banks. They were hating on HHDX for posting this stupid post when we all knew that it was a prank. But continue on with your little G-Unit hate conspiracies. It suits you well.

People can say they knew it was a joke but fif will do anything these days dont act like he wouldnt turn on banks in a second when it came to eminem and everybody talks about where banks should be and what he has done but buck came in put out more quality music,made more money,and sold more units for g unit than banks or yayo and at the end of the day you see where he is When it comes to Fif ANYBODY CAN GET IT!!!!
I don’t think anyone is denying that fact. But we are simply stating that in THIS instance we knew it was a prank. The video was prime evidence.
in no day did buck every sell more than banks u forgot 4 milli on hunger for more kid go do ya reasearch fool
haha why are none of them smiling? are they mad at success?
Not a fan of any of these three (I think Em’s a dope rapper of course) but this was quite funny… kinda cracked me up the way Banks was sittin’ there all quiet. LOL.
