He called me man. It was really strange, he said, ‘Banner, now that I'm a businessman, I can't promise you that you're going to have a spot on everything on Young Money, but I can promise you that I give you an opportunity to fight for your spot.’ And that's all you can ask for as a man.”The music producer claimed that a lot of people don't know that some of the most historical freestyles that Lil Wayne did were over his beats.

Not to sell them, but because he was a fan of my production.”David Banner also dismissed the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in music and claimed that it can't replicate the “real music” that touches people's souls.
