In a recent social media exchange, rapper Lloyd Banks has made it clear that he has no intention of engaging in what he describes as the “circus” of drama surrounding his longtime rival Rick Ross. This comes on the heels of Ross’s taunting remarks directed at Banks, which followed Ross’s recent legal triumph over fellow rapper 50 Cent.
The feud reignited when Rick Ross took to his Instagram to post a video featuring himself poking fun at Lloyd Banks. In the video, Ross is seen reminiscing about Banks’ 2004 hit “I’m So Fly,” questioning whether the rapper still has any money left. Ross cheekily offered to pay Banks $5,000 for his name, which he jokingly referred to as a potential ally.
Despite the provocation, Lloyd Banks chose to respond indirectly, stating on social media, “I will never join the circus,” a clear reference to the ongoing rivalry without explicitly naming Ross. This statement highlights Banks’ preference for staying above the fray and avoiding unnecessary drama, a sentiment that has garnered respect from his fans for his consistent composure and professionalism.
The history between Banks and Ross is steeped in animosity, dating back years, particularly after Banks released a diss track aimed at Ross, solidifying his reputation for sharp lyrical skills. Although Banks’ career has seen ups and downs, this latest exchange suggests that he remains focused on his craft rather than personal conflicts.
Interestingly, while Banks may not be engaging in diss tracks or public feuds, he appears to be reigniting his musical career. Recently, he reached out to his followers on Twitter, asking for beats from their favorite producers, indicating that he is ready to collaborate and create new music.
In a poignant moment, Banks also paid tribute to the late actor Chadwick Boseman, who passed away after a long battle with colon cancer. Banks expressed his sorrow over the loss of the talented actor, emphasizing the tragic nature of Boseman’s untimely death at the age of 43.
As the situation unfolds, it remains to be seen whether Rick Ross will respond to Banks’ remarks. Fans are left to speculate on the potential for new music from Banks, as the rapper appears to be moving forward with creative endeavors while avoiding the distractions of rivalry and conflict.
