50 Cent labeled Lloyd as lazy in his 2020 book, Hustle Harder, Hustle Smarter. While speaking about the G-Unit member, 50 Cent claimed Banks wasn't a hustler and waited for everything to come to him.
"While I was out hustling (I actually hustled with his father), Banks was more content staying on his porch and watching the world from there," 50 wrote. "Banks wanted things to come to him, as opposed to going out and getting them for himself. That's not me trying to assassinate his character -- the guy has 'Lazy Lloyd' tattooed on his arm. He literally wears his laziness on his sleeve."
Last week, Lloyd Banks dropped his first solo album in over a decade. In one of the album's standouts, he addressed 50's laziness claims without mentioning his former G-Unit boss.
On "Stranger Things," Lloyd Banks rapped: "Your favorite's nowhere near me when I'm dedicated / Always humble, usually disciplined and never hated / Call me quiet, call me lazy, talent never faded / It's frustrating when your grindin' ain't appreciated / Should have been dead in my twenties, s***, at least I made it / Guess I gotta prove myself again, increase your payment."
Lloyd Banks' new album, COTI (The Course Of The Inevitable), is available now.
