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

Thats pretty out of order to the fans and the guy who booked him.
-
The fact he expected to get paid for performing half a song anf for arriving late is dumb enough as it is. Banks is an idiot.

I dont get why you would risk your money and fame over something so small.

Yeah lost a bit of respect for Banks after this, I mean he did a half assed shutty job, the promoter shoulda sued him for fucking up the gig

Yeah thats the head-scratcher to me too. Maybe you would've got paid had you finished your performance Banks.

i was thinking perhaps he was performing and then got word the promoter wasn't going to pay him, so he stopped and then beat his ass
but for banks to perform half a song and then expect to get paid, wow

Chris Hines, the man who was allegedly assaulted by Lloyd Banks in Canada over the weekend, has come forward to discuss the highly publicized incident.
While trying to keep certain details out, booking agent Chris Hines said he was, indeed, the victim.
"It was at Blanford, Ontario, [I was just the booking agent,] correct," Hines said in an interview. "There's a little more to the story, like I said, I don't want to get in to it too much. But the most accurate story of all of them is on MTV which has got put up right now. MTV.com, that's the most accurate of all stories. But he was paid in advance. We got into a confrontation of course, they assaulted me and kept me there for a little while. It was probably like for 20 minutes, 30 minutes. They had me there for quite some time. But so far, the things I'm seeing online, the most accurate is on MTV. Like, I worked for the guys for years and I don't really know what the f*ck they were thinking, if they were watching a movie earlier I don't know what that's about. The whole incident that night had nothing to do with me and everybody knows that." (Hollywood Street King)
