50 CENT AND EMINEM PRANK LLOYD BANKS

50 Cent sure has an evil sense of humor. The G-Unit leader and Eminem decided to pull a fast one on Lloyd Banks backstage during the recent Home & Home concert at Yankee Stadium. 50 confronted Banks for allegedly not wanting Slim Shady to record a verse on his upcoming H.F.M. 2 (Hunger for More 2) album. After a hidden cameraman pops out, the three rappers celebrated the gold plaque Lloyd received for “Beamer, Benz, or Bentley.” Check it out on YouTube now!

• 50 tweeted, “Hahahaha yo banks was shook back stage. He started thinking of who to blame it on. Lol”

This time, Weezy is being accused of owing over 500-thousand in commissions, in addition to 15 percent of his total earnings in 2006.
