Authorities are investigating a link between an argument that G-Unit members Tony Yayo and Lloyd Banks had with music producer Swizz Beatz on the Busta Rhymes video shoot for "Touch It" remix.
The argument was apparently about whose verse was going to be recorded for the video as there are at least three different mixes of Busta's single. The argument escalated and Swizz Beatz artist, Cassidy became the new subject.
Cassidy, who at the moment is incarcerated, lyrically attacked G-Unit leader 50 Cent in the video for "B-Boy Stance." 50 Cent then took verbal shots at Cassidy in his own video for "Piggy Bank," while Ruff Ryders artist Jadakiss has had a very public feud with 50 Cent and G-Unit.
Sources say that G-Unit members were berating Kasseem Dean and his uncles Darrin "Dee" Dean and Joaquin "Waah" Dean, all of whom are affiliated with either Swizz Beatz or Ruff Ryders.
Security then cleared the people from the studio and the argument continued outside on the street. Bystanders have alleged that the argument then erupted and then one of the men involved pulled out a gun and started firing shots. The story is that the shooter then left the scene in Tony Yayo's vehicle.
Police are still keen to question Busta Rhymes and Tony Yayo, but both are refusing to cooperate. However authorities were able to obtain footage from the video shoot and an MTV camera crew who documented the shoot during the day.
Ironically, Ramirez had worked security for 50 previously. He was also a security guard at Club New York the night of Diddy and Shyne's infamous shootout.
