LATEST: The man mistaken for Lloyd Banks in a gay porn movie has stepped forward to clear the G-Unit rapper's name.

TY LATTIMORE, 28, is a huge fan of the hip-hop star and is confused how the rumour began in the first place.

He tells website ALLHIPHOP.COM, "I feel bad for him and I think its sad how people are so quick to spread rumours without all the info. Its crazy how this has blown up and how folks have put him out there like that. Now I am catching heat."

Despite a strong denial through his representatives, the inaccurate rumour continued to spread across internet message boards and chat rooms.

Lattimore adds, "I would hope that if the shoe was on the other foot, someone else would step up and be a man and handle their business.

"He is a rapper and that is his thing. Being a porn star and model is mine. Thanks for letting me try to clear this up, but some folks will believe what they want to believe anyway."
