Everybody knows that G-Unit has been at odds for a second but people really wanted to know how 50 Cent and Lloyd Banks came to be at opposite sides of the spectrum. In an interview with MTV’s RapFix, 50 Cent says the drama may have occurred because he was insensitive to Lloyd Banks when his father passed. 50 stated,
“I think he wanted his independence. [Yayo and Banks are] like my little brothers, so at points I say things that make them uncomfortable. There was one point where you can even say I was a bit insensitive. His father passed away and I was like, ‘All right, he passed away but you can’t just go home and stay home. Ask Kanye, his mother passed away while his record was at a peak point. If he didn’t go on tour, he wouldn’t be the Kanye you know right now. He worked his way through that situation; the world doesn’t stop.”
Kind of cold hearted but still rings true as well. Hopefully things will work out but probably not. 50 Cent seems like he’d eat his own young if it came down to it. I guess it’s the power of the dollar.
