Rumors and Controversies

As a result, she began stripping at an underground club to raise her upkeep funds, but that she quit stripping in 2018.
In September 2022, Banks was allegedly drugged at a party in Miami, Florida. She reported to the authorities that she was followed by two men (as seen on CCTV footage) while she was being driven to her condo, and when she eventually woke up, she found that her expensive Cartier watch was missing and a total of $5,000 had also been withdrawn from her account. Moreover, she claimed that her Express credit card was also stolen. The police have not yet arrested the culprits.
Banks sparked controversy when her video confronting an intruder while she was completely naked surfaced on the internet. In the video, she is seen running into the armed burglar, who was demanding money and other valuables from her. He then forced her to open her safe, but then threw her onto her bed and ran away when he found out that it was empty. The intruder had found his way into her house while she was asleep, and she was woken up by the barks of her pet dogs. After the alleged intrusion, critics began slamming her, accusing her of staging the whole incident to attract followers. However, she’s dismissed the critics, maintaining that she was indeed attacked in her house.
