G-Unit rapper Lloyd Banks has been arrested on suspicion of assault in Canada.

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

Hines booked Banks to perform several tracks at Club N.V. but he arrived late and only played one song before leaving the stage.

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.

Banks was arrested alongside pals Shaun McGee, Tyrell Cooper and Nicholas Sloan and the four men are now facing charges of assault, robbery and forced confinement.
