Lloyd Banks and associates arrested in Canada, victim claims he was beaten over payment dispute

This happened over the weekend, but according to multiple reports, Chris Hines, the man in the above photo/video says he was held against his will and assaulted by Lloyd Banks and 3 men over a payment dispute after a club gig in Ontario, Canada. This allegedly happened this past Friday, and Banks and the 3 men have been in custody ever since. Banks has always been the most mild-mannered and quiet of the crew, but if he didn’t stop his boys, then that’s an equal issue. Here’s a quote from MTV’s report:
“The promoter alleged that early Saturday morning the lyricist and three associates — Nicklas Sloane, Shawn McGee, and Tyrell Cooper — held him in his hotel room against his will, assaulted and robbed him. All four men were charged with forceful confinement, aggravated assault and robbery. The four made a video court appearance on Sunday afternoon (January 10) and are due to appear in court again early this week. They remained in police custody at press time.” The action is detailed, and if the photo in the above video is credible then he was clearly injured, but the motive is murky, and the victim dances around that topic in the interview.

I dont understand why Banks, who probaly has about 10mil in the bank or more, remeber this quote: “dont talk to me about 10mil that aint no money” ~from tos album. But why would this rich brotha beat a dude ass over a few 1000’s is what i dont get. im sure Banks got money, so that makes me wonder was it because the crowd shitted on Banks performance, especially after arriving late, almost 3 hours late….i guess its all hear say from now, im getting my info from the net and the net is something i dont trust..lol

I dont agree that you shoudln’t beat someones ass for not paying you your money….how do you think he got to have those mills in the bank…also promoters are shady and they like to play with artist money so good for banks for standing up for themselves and letting homeboy know not to mess with Americans money its a recession every penny counts…With all that being said could he have handled it different of course..but rappers get better marketing whenever they get arrested so thats another reason why Banks is still smart for beating up homie

Who’s to say?
does he actually have ten mill? I’m sure Lloyd got SOME money. If not ten mill, then at least the brother GOTTA have at least a cool half a mill in the bank after all expenses are paid. One of his albums is certified platinum and then some.
Is the guy who caught the beat down telliin why it actually went down that way and why? Who knows…

THE ONLY ONE PAID IS 50CENT…
THEY JUST THERE FOR THE FREE RIDE. Banks ain’t got no ten million in the bank….SHIT HE WISHES…. tHATS WHY THEY BEAT UP DUDE CAUSE THEY NEEDED TO GET BACK HOME..LOL…
Yall see how they select they victims…. People who have no backing. Weak prey on the weak… Why they never ran up on Game or ROSS at that….Cause them down south boys bring that heat and those westcoast gangstaS don’t play….
But then again all 99.9% of these rappers just talk about shit they don’t have……..It’s part of story telling. Make it suspenseful, fill in the blanks… Make shit up…..

If this guy was planning to file a lawsuit. It will probably get thrown out now. Cause he spoke about the situation publicly …IDIOT!
