Lloyd Banks has responded to Murda Mook‘s claim that he stole some of his bars.

During an appearance on The Danza Project last month, Mook talked about battle rap previously being a taboo topic and how “big rappers” would quietly watch them perform.

“Battle rap in the beginning was taboo to mention,” he said. “And I never forget shit, I never forget y’all n-ggas. All y’all n-ggas, the rappers, the quote unquote big rappers that watched us but never wanted to say it.

“N-ggas used to watch- like, it wasn’t cool to mention it. It used to be those, ‘Oh, them battle rapping ass n-ggas,’ but n-ggas used to watch it.”

When the host brought up rappers stealing lyrics from battle rappers, Murda Mook mentioned Lloyd Banks.

“Lloyd Banks is my guy, but he took two of my bars,” he said. “I told him. He know, he know it. But, nevertheless, y’all can find it later. Find the bars later.

“It was just nice regardless, though. I’m not saying it’s like that. He probably thought, ‘Nobody gon’ see this battle rap shit, right?'”

However, Lloyd Banks doesn’t agree with Murda Mook. The former G-Unit rapper came across the video on Instagram and responded with a cap emoji in the comments.

Lloyd Banks has praised Murda Mook in the past, reposting a video of the Harlem rapper spitting bars on his Instagram page in 2018.

Murda Mook has criticized other rappers over the years, ranting about Drake taking part in a URL battle rap event in 2021.

“Y’all n-ggas aren’t going to make money like that, y’all bugging, stop it,” he said at the time. “This is supposed to be for us, our culture, we lit. Y’all n-ggas running in here talking about, ‘Smack let Drizzy be him today.’

“N-gga come to one shit. ‘Yo, you can be me.’ What? We just giving our shit up like that? Oh man, shit getting crazy out here.”
