With new films and TV shows in development, 50 Cent has always found himself returning back to the music scene.

Teasing an upcoming track titled, “Crazy” on Instagram, the record features a bar from the multiplatform rapper where he states that he hasn’t been talking to fellow G-unit member and hometown native, Lloyd Banks.

“Called my son twice, he ain’t picking up the phone / And Banks, we don’t even talk no more,” 50 Cent spits in the Instagram teaser.

This isn’t the first time 50 Cent and Lloyd Banks have been in disagreements. Back in 2016, Lloyd Banks posted a photo with former G-Unit member, The Game. With 50 Cent having a longtime beef with the Compton rapper after leaving the label, he felt betrayed by the picture and commented on the Instagram post with the following: “What do you see when you look at this picture? I see confusion, I’m not sure if it’s just me, I’m a Cancer shit don’t get old with me,” 50 said about the photo at the time. “I never ask for trouble but I really don’t have a problem with it I’m different. The question isn’t how I feel about it, but how does ( Lodi Mac ) feel about it? Some shit is just better off left alone.”

Prior to that, Lloyd Banks and 50 Cent had stopped communicating for a while when Banks lost his father in ’06 followed by his departure from Interscope in 2009, stating that get wasn’t getting support from the label. In an interview with MTV, 50 Cent admits to being insensitive after the passing of Banks’ father.

“There was one point where you can even say I was a bit insensitive. [Banks’] father passed away and I was like, ‘All right, he passed away, but you can’t just go home and stay home.’ He went home and just stayed at the house. 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.”

“I’m not much older than [Banks], but I’ve been out since I was 12,” 50 Cent continues. “I’ve been hustlin’ since I was 12. Because his father used to hustle, I look at him like one of the homies. When one of my homies gets killed or they pass away, we don’t stop doin’ what we been doin’. We lost…Probably 5 or 6 people got killed while we been on the road prior to him actually behaving that way. We don’t stop what we’ve been doing. To me, it’s an excuse.”

Megan Thee Stallion Faces New Lawsuit: Former Cameraman Alleges Sexual Harassment and Hostile Work Environment

Megan Thee Stallion Faces New Lawsuit: Former Cameraman Alleges Sexual Harassment and Hostile Work Environment miixtapechiick

Megan Thee Stallion is being sued by her former cameraman, Emilio Garcia, alleging sexual harassment and a hostile work environment, according to a lawsuit filed on Tuesday, Apr. 23, in Los Angeles County Superior Court.

The suit obtained by NBC News outlines Garcia’s claims, alleging that he had been trapped in a moving vehicle with the Houston rapper in Ibiza while she engaged in sexual activity with another woman. Following this incident, Garcia says he was cautioned not to discuss what he witnessed and was subsequently subjected to beratement, fat-shaming, and differential treatment by Megan.

“What I learned throughout the years is that, especially coming from an from an office environment, is you know, there’s no HR department in the entertainment business,” Garcia told NBC News in an interview. “So if you don’t know that you’re being done wrong, you don’t really know how to advocate for yourself until you start asking maybe you start asking your peers who have representation, they have agents, they have management, they have attorney. So I just really just want to encourage people to advocate for themselves.”

Garcia also stated in the lawsuit that the severity and frequency of the harassment created an intolerable work environment. Garcia began his role as Megan Thee Stallion’s personal cameraman in 2018, continuing until June 2023. Seeking compensation of over six figures, Garcia’s lawsuit requests unpaid wages, overtime pay, and other benefits as per California labor laws, along with statutory penalties and punitive damages.

Following the Ibiza incident, Garcia claims his payment structure shifted from a flat monthly rate to a task-based system requiring invoice submissions for each assignment. Subsequently, he was terminated in June 2023 by Roc Nation, with notification that his services were no longer needed.

“Megan just needs to pay our client what he’s due, own up to her behavior and quit this sort of sexual harassment and fat shaming conduct,” said Ron Zambrano, an attorney for Garcia, in a statement to NBC News. “Emilio should never have been put in a position of having to be in the vehicle with her while she had sex with another woman. ‘Inappropriate’ is putting it lightly. Exposing this behavior to employees is definitely illegal.”
