Young Buck and 50 Cent in a Renewed Legal Battle Over $250,000 Dispute

The long-standing financial feud between Young Buck and 50 Cent has resurfaced, as the two artists are embroiled in yet another legal dispute over $250,000. This amount, which 50 Cent claims he is owed from Young Buck’s G-Unit Records contract, has been a contentious issue for over a decade.

The Origins of the Dispute

The roots of this conflict trace back to Young Buck’s tenure under G-Unit Records, where the label alleges it advanced $250,000 to the Nashville rapper. Buck, however, maintains that he never received the money, citing a lack of accounting records to prove the payment was made.

50 Cent initially pursued the claim during Buck’s extended bankruptcy proceedings, aiming to recoup the amount. Buck eventually emerged from bankruptcy in August 2024, seemingly resolving his debts by selling off his back catalog, luxury items, and jewelry, raising over $1 million. Reports indicated that this sum was used to settle various obligations, including payments to 50 Cent and a $190,000 IRS lien.

Renewed Legal Action

Despite the presumed settlement, Young Buck and his legal team have now argued that G-Unit lacks documentation to substantiate their claim. In a new court filing, Buck’s attorneys are urging the judge to dismiss the $250,000 claim due to insufficient evidence.

Interestingly, G-Unit has acknowledged the absence of records supporting their argument, complicating the case further. As of now, 50 Cent has not commented publicly on this recent development.

Past Tensions and Public Drama

This legal battle is only the latest chapter in a tumultuous relationship between the former collaborators. Over the years, Young Buck has accused 50 Cent of sabotaging his career and financial stability. In a 2022 interview on the It’s Tricky with Raquel Harper podcast, Buck explained how legal maneuvers from 50 Cent allegedly forced him into bankruptcy to continue working and earning.

Meanwhile, 50 Cent, known for his sharp public persona, has not hesitated to mock Buck’s financial struggles. Following the conclusion of Buck’s bankruptcy, 50 took to Instagram, demanding his money with characteristic flair, writing: “I don’t know why they make me go through this part, but I’m a need that money by Monday.”

Hope for Reconciliation?

Despite their disputes, Young Buck has expressed a willingness to reconcile with 50 Cent and the G-Unit crew. He has publicly stated his openness to reunite, a surprising sentiment given the extent of their legal and personal clashes.

As the legal drama continues, it remains to be seen whether this renewed battle will bring closure or further strain their relationship. For fans, this saga underscores the complexities of business and personal ties in the music industry.
