The G-Unit star was taken into custody by police in Ontario at the weekend, after allegedly attacking club promoter Chris Hines.

But trouble ensued when Hines refused to pay 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.
