UPDATE #2: Apparently,  Banks and crew are no longer being held in Kitchener. They were moved to the Maplehurst Correctional Complex (in Milton, Ont., click the link to see) last night. They are most likely scheduled for court today.

UPDATE #1: Lloyd Banks, along with Shaun McGee, Tyrell Cooper and Nicholas Sloan are all in custody in Kitchener’s District 1 police station facing possible charges of assault, robbery and forced confinement. The G-Unit Four are to remain in an Ontario jail until their hearing early next week.

The above picture is of my friend Chris Hines after getting beaten up by Lloyd Banks and his entourage, four or five (!) guys in total!!

I have known Chris Hines for several years, and trust me when I say that he is a soft-spoken, completely non-gangster kind of guy. I went with him to EB when he brought Lloyd Banks there back in 2006. (Remember, when the Banks crew started a riot, and then rushed off stage.)

Despite Banks’ unproffesional attitude, Hines has stuck by him over the years, only to see this happen. I hope Banks stays in the jail where he currently is.

According to Def Sounds, New York rapper and G-Unit honcho Lloyd Banks has been arrested along with four other men in Ontario Canada.

Banks, real name Christopher Charles Lloyd, and four others allegedly sequestered road manager and “Canadian booking artist” Chris Hines of Chris Hines/ Ultimate Ent in a hotel near Kitchener (Ontario, Canada) where Banks was scheduled to perform.

According to accounts of the alleged incident, they assaulted Hines and left him to be rushed to hospital.

Hines suffered a few minor lacerations as well as a bruised eye and a possible head trauma.

Sources say Banks was scheduled to perform a few select cuts at Club N.V. on Friday, January 8th.

However, after arriving late to the venue, Banks reportedly performed half a track and walked off the stage to the dismay of the already agitated fans.

When Hines refused to pay Banks for not fulfilling the performance agreement, he was assaulted and left to be rushed to the hospital.

Fan accounts of the lack-luster performance have been removed around the clock from G-Unit’s homebase on the web, Thisis50.com

Lloyd Banks is currently in the custody of Canadian Authority.
