Lloyd Banks says there's no beef with dipset

Last month Lloyd Banks and the G-Unit performed at a back to school concert that was co-headlined by the Diplomats'Jim Jones at the Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, Long Island. According to witnesses at the event, members of the G-Unit were backstage, chanting "Boring" instead of "Ballin," which is the chorus of Jones'hit song, "We Fly High."

Banks told MTV.com, "Nah, I mean there ain't no problem, man. Whenever you get a lot of energy into the same building, people don't know what to expect. So just walking by somebody without saying, 'Wassup,'might get taken the wrong way. But it's nothing. We do what we do, they do what they do. We're holdin'NYC down. Unnecessary problems shouldn't occur. If it ain't no problem there, then keep it goin'."

The rapper added, "But I can't X out anything. Who knows? Records might come. That goes for anybody who you don't have a solid beef with. I don't really got beef with nobody. I got bread. ... Nah, ain't no beef with them."

Banks released his sophomore album, The Rotten Apple, earlier this month. The set debuted at Number Three on the Billboard 200 albums chart last week after selling 142,000 copies its first week in stores.

The new album isn't the only new material from Banks on the streets. He's been putting out a steady diet of mixtapes and he's scheduled to release a new one within the next two week. Banks said, "I'm gonna let the album breathe about two weeks. But I got Mo'Money in the Bank Pt. 5 already geared up and ready to go. Mo'Money in the Bank Pt. 4 with DJ Whoo Kid is on the street right now -- (the one with) the green cover. Now it's time for the blue cover. That'll be out in a matter of days."
