In a recent development in the ongoing feud between hip-hop artists, Lloyd Banks has responded to a diss from Rick Ross, affirming his decision to steer clear of the drama. The exchange follows Ross’s public trolling of Banks and his longtime rival 50 Cent, which he shared on social media. In a video, Ross appeared alongside the 2004 single “I’m So Fly” by Lloyd Banks, mockingly questioning whether Banks still has any money left, even offering to pay $5,000 for a Banks name drop.
Despite the provocation, Banks has chosen not to engage in the back-and-forth. He took to social media to declare, “I will never join the circus,” a statement widely interpreted as a direct response to Ross’s antics. Although he did not explicitly name Ross, it was clear that the comment was aimed at the Maybach Music Group leader. Banks has maintained a reputation for composure and maturity in the face of conflict, which has earned him respect among fans and peers alike.
The history between Banks and Ross is marked by tension, particularly following Banks’s release of a diss track aimed at Ross many years ago, which has since become a classic among his loyal fans. Despite the animosity, there has been no immediate retaliation from Ross, leaving fans curious about the next chapter in their rivalry.
In a positive turn for his supporters, Banks has hinted at a return to music, recently reaching out on Twitter for beats from producers, suggesting he is in a creative mindset. This development comes as a relief to fans who have witnessed Banks’s career wane in recent years but still hold out hope for new material.
In a separate but poignant note, Banks recently paid tribute to the late actor Chadwick Boseman, who passed away due to complications from colon cancer. Banks expressed his condolences, recognizing Boseman’s significant contributions to both film and society, highlighting the tragic loss of a talented individual who had much more to offer.
As the situation unfolds, it remains to be seen whether Rick Ross will respond to Banks’s comments. For now, fans are left to speculate on the future of both rappers, with Banks’s potential new music on the horizon promising to be an exciting development.
