50 Cent Isn't Down With Banks & Yayo Anymore? Calls Pair Out On Freestyle

50 Cent knows how to stir controversy, and did just that on April Fool's Day when he dropped a freestyle in which he called out longtime G-Unit partners, Lloyd Banks and Tony Yayo.
On a track, titled "I'm All Turnt Up", which he dropped on ThisIs50.com and his official Twitter page (@50Cent), the hip-hop mogul said he ain't down with the G-Unit group anymore and that he's on his "Jay-Z sh**", referring to his rival's history in focusing more on himself rather than his own artists.
it's unclear if Fif was being serious or if they were merely jokes due to the date of the drop. Most likely, it's the latter.
"N****s see me, ask me where Lloyd Banks at," 50 says toward the end of the track (listen below). "N****, I don't know where the f*** that little n**** at. I ain't heard from him. F*** Yayo too, I'm on some new sh**. F*** the group n****! I'm gonna introduce you to my new n****. Uh. It's '11. I figured out what's the matter with this sh**. It ain't me, it's these n****s. It's the Roc. I'm on my Jay-Z sh**. Nah, nah, f*** the group man! I'm on my bossin' sh**. I'm all the way to the top, God damn it. Yeah."
This wouldn't be the first time Fif has played a prank on his G-Unit artists. In September 2010, he and Eminem pranked Lloyd Banks, questioning him about rumors they heard about him not wanting to record with Em.
A shocked Banks didn't know what to say.
"Did you say something to somebody about you didn't want [Em] on the record," 50 questioned Banks, who responded: "Why would I say that? To who?"
"That's what was being said from [Em's manager] Paul [Rosenberg]. Man, this sh** is getting crazy. I'm gonna be straight up with you, all right? I think this sh** is getting a little funny between me, you and [Tony] Yayo and everything else that's going on because look at how crazy it is actually getting him to rap on your record and I don't understand what's going on anymore. I don't know, when I talked to Paul, Paul pulled me to the side and he's talking to me like, 'Yo, what's going on? Why you don't want Em? Are you kidding me? He's the biggest rapper, you can't get any bigger.' "
At the end of the clip, both Em and 50 laughed before revealing to Banks that it was a joke and just wanted to reward him with a plaque for sales of his smash hit, "Beamer, Benz, Or Bentley."
