Hines booked Banks to perform several tracks at Club NV, but arrived late and only played one song before leaving the stage. Hines refused to pay the tardy Banks for the gig, reportedly prompting a fight between the promoter and the rapper, who had been accompanied by three associates.

Hines was admitted to a local hospital and treated for multiple contusions and head trauma. Banks is facing charges of assault, robbery, and forced confinement.

Spywitnesses are reporting that Young Buck declared his depature from G-Unit during his performance at HOT 107.9’s Birthday Bash XXII. According to Miss Info, Hot 97′s resident tattle, the public outcry against G-Unit never happened: “Eyewitnesses at the 107.9 Atlanta radio station bash say that he talked about his new label Cashville Records, which he recently found a home for (with help from Sha Money XL, 50’s original right hand man, who is no longer with G-Unit), but he never dissed 50 and G-Unit,” Info says.

50 Cent has denied reports he has fired Young Buck from his G-Unit group, calling his comments on New York radio station last week a “late April fools joke”.

50′s manager Chris Lighty insists the comments were all made in jest.

“It was just a late April fools joke. 50 Cent has a twisted sense of humor.”
