For over two decades, Tony Yayo has remained one of hip-hop’s most outspoken personalities. As a founding member of G-Unit, Yayo witnessed—and participated in—some of rap’s most intense rivalries. In a recent interview, the Queens rapper shared stories and opinions on several major topics, including his infamous encounter with Ja Rule, comparisons between Lloyd Banks and Fabolous, the tension between 50 Cent and T.I., and his thoughts on J. Cole.
When asked about the long-running debate between Lloyd Banks and Fabolous, Yayo stood firmly behind his G-Unit brother.
According to Yayo, Banks doesn’t always receive the credit he deserves as one of New York’s best punchline rappers.
Still, he showed respect to Fabolous and acknowledged his influence and success.
