WWW- The man in a gay video that was mistaken for Lloyd Banks has come forward to clear the rapper’s name and effectively end the notion the Banks starred in the flick.

Ty Lattimore, 28, has appeared in over 25 pornographic movies. He said he was a fan of Banks and that such a mistake has never happened before.

“I feel bad for him and I think its sad how people are so quick to spread rumors without all the info,” Lattimore told AllHipHop.com. “Its crazy how this has blown up and how folks have put him out there like that. Now I am catching heat.”

Lattimore said the movie clip circulating is of him and a model named “Mocha” in a flick called “Bam 2.”

Despite a strong denial through his representatives, the rumor continued to have legs, spreading across internet message boards and chat rooms. Other sources with AllHipHop.com have validated Lattimore’s claims prior to him commenting on the rumor.

The adult movie actor, who favors the sounds of Shyne, Petey Pablo and Kanye West, said he came forward to help end the rumor, not to boost his career.

“I am already a porn star for those who watch gay porn,” Lattimore said. “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.”

Back story: G-Unit rapper Lloyd Banks has denied that he is the man having gay sex in a video circulating on the internet.

Sources told AllHipHop.com that the rapper bears a similar likeness to a gay porn star named Ty Lattimore, the actual culprit in the recording.

The man in the video does not have any of the familiar markings of Banks, namely his extensive tattoos.

Rampant rumors charge that the video was made when Banks, 22, was a minor. His reps swatted the thought away.

“This is similar to the Jay-Z video where he is ‘slapping’ that woman,” the rep said. “It’s a short clip that lets people start s**t. The truth is, its not Banks.”

Banks has a very heterosexual video on deck. “Groupie Luv” is an interactive double DVD that allows the viewer to select the girl he wants to fantasize over.

“It’s gonna be great, it will seem like you will be the one having sex,” Banks said in a previous statement.
