Lloyd Banks evidently isn’t interested in any internet shenanigans. These days, rappers are often better known by their online antics rather than their actual music — and Banks clearly doesn’t want any part of it.
Two days after Rick Ross taunted Banks in one of his Instagram Stories, the former G-Unit affiliate has responded via Twitter.
“I’ll NEVER join the circus, so don’t expect it from me,” he wrote. “peace & love.”
Ross targeted Banks following his recent “In Da Club” lawsuit victory against 50 Cent. While speaking to his 11.4 million Instagram followers, Rozay insinuated Banks’ financial situation wasn’t looking too good.
“Banks, you still got some money?” he said. “Show us what you livin’ like. If you ain’t got no money, I’ll give you five grand for the Banks name. That might be one of my aliases — Dank Sinatra.”
Ross and 50 have a history of bad blood, which was exacerbated earlier this month after a judge upheld the lawsuit’s original ruling. In 2018, 50 sued Ross for poaching “In Da Club” for his 2015 mixtape Renzel Remixes, but a judge determined it was fair game since 50 didn’t actually own the track and the suit was dismissed.
Rick Ross Rubs 'In Da Club' Lawsuit Victory In 50 Cent's Face
The Power television mogul then filed an appeal in an attempt to collect $2 million in damages. But on August 22, it was reported New York City’s Second Circuit of Appeals upheld the ruling with a caveat. Shady Records/Aftermath can still choose to sue on 50’s behalf considering they own the song.
Nonetheless, Ross still considered it a monster victory and celebrated by rubbing it in 50’s face. As far as Banks is concerned, Ross can leave him out of it.
dats why I fuxx wit Banks…he was never for the foolery…he just rapped. Nuthin but clowns in hiphop these days
And pedophiles,fake drug dealer kingpins, shemale MCs and n*tsack loving clout chasers.
Banks can out rap your favorite rapper, and most dont know or dont believe it because he isn’t selling his soul for likes and upvotes. Last 10 years regular niggas is clowns. Gasing these fake ass chicks and spending your entire paychecks on tight clothes. Banks a real nigga, just wish this cold corner 3 would drop.
Facts!! Plus tax!
Let’s hope with lil Durk n tjay exposing rat69 fake internet beef .. n ppl like banks refusing to “circus” perhaps the tide turning. Plus Ak, Budden, Troy, Vlad losing popularity I hope, Bobby schmurda coming home soon . Maybe things can change .. plus Meg addressing Tory b.s. blogger lies from adam22 and Ak .. maybe rappers n fans hopefully change this b.s
Banks would run circles around both 50 and that fat fuck Ross. For Ross to pull Banks in it while he is quiet is a bitch move. Trying to get some controversy to sell his wack ass upcoming album. They let too many fake MFs live in this game. Banks a true MC!
Ross can’t fu*k with banks on bars so Ross on that girl insta sh!t. What a world we live in where the trash rappers make it bigger than the real ones.
damn by that logic i guess 50 cant fuck with ti jada nas or game.
Ross is a correctional officer rat snitch. Nuff Said. G-G-G-GUUNIIT !
Props…for out classing Ross.

Officer down is still burning ross’ soul… Ask Ross how it feels to be alive but walking around dead… Fuck your money fat boy, it means nothing
Real shit Fuck that LAME ASS Cop! Fuck that fat tub of LARD
Banks fought 50 battles, 50 kicked him aside. Game didn’t do the same see where he’s at as oppose to Banks. Moral of the story, Be your own man.

Ross is feeling his self a little to much to go after banks like that don’t mistaken quite for weakness
Blue Heffner, If you know bank$ personally is the PLK of all time. Fuck Officer Ricky, it’s the Unit till I die. Sh???
I’m with you on that…
MMG Haters! Banks is a puppet for 50 and has no recent music at all. MMG on the other hand is balling as a unit ROSS taking care of his folks. Fudge the corny G-UNIT crap, 50 the best out of all them and he lost GAME and BUCK they are like that the others can kick rocks. Quit hating some much cause the BOSS is gone keep on BALL’N. The SOUTH is on the HOUSE.
That’s false he just dropped projects within the past 3 years I guess you’re not in tune.
Ross makes good music,but he a BIG FAKE ass MF he be actin…
Fuckin stp watching man nigga.
Banks vs Ross….. Vs for vs.. No match Banks Champ on him.. Dont sleep
Yo Banks has a peace of mind , how about Ross!! ?
Oh now all of a sudden, G Unit ain’t about that ra ra stuff no more? Keep that same energy y’all had when you were dissing every other rapper back in 2002
It’s called getting older….you have to grown someday.
Man y’all niggas sound like a bunch a old ass hypocrites. Talking about internet clowns but that’s all I see down the list of comments. The fact is Banks career was trash and he is broke. Ross and 50 Both had good careers and if they “sold their souls” to get there, whatever the fuck that’s supposed to mean,so fucking what. Niggas act like you can’t be successful without selling your soul. It’s plenty of other ways like “hard work” y’all niggas just basic
Shut yo goofy fruity bitch ass up nigga. Nobody give a fuck about yo opinion. Get dicked old ass nigga
What are you talking about selling their soul. You consider commercial success selling your soul, because they made millions both 60 and Rick Ross. You can’t win with you niggas. What is the reward of hard work in rap, surely record sales and awards as it’s a business. If the likes of Drake stop selling you’ll be the first to mentioned he’s finished.
If he is industry broke.. your are just broke.. Noway you should be discussing another man’s funds ?
Man these niggas are too old to be beefing I’m with Banks no drama and lyrically Banks will eat up correctional officer “Rosay”
How would it look if Ross signed Buck ?
Didn’t Banks show lil Ricky one time that they not on the same level lyrically. Lil Rosey or Rozay never responded to Banks when Banks put out that “Officer Down” joint.
