Young Buck, previously with G-Unit, has settled his debt with his former label head and friend, 50 Cent. The long legal dispute between them has finally concluded with Buck, whose real name is David Brown, successfully paying back the $250,000 he owed to 50 Cent.
The debt came from a loan given by 50 Cent to help Buck through financial difficulties.
Bankruptcy process helps Buck clear financial obligations
Reports suggest that Young Buck used the bankruptcy process to settle all his debts, including the amount owed to 50 Cent. To do this, he sold off assets like jewelry, luxury cars, and his music catalog rights, totaling over $1 million. This money was used to pay off various debts, including a $190,000 IRS lien and child support arrears.
Having fulfilled his financial commitments, Young Buck is now free from any contractual obligations to 50 Cent, allowing him to focus on his music career without financial burdens from his ex-label boss.
50 Cent Reacts to Young Buck’s debt repayment
In reaction to Buck’s debt repayment, 50 Cent promptly took to Instagram, playfully reminding Buck to pay up. He quipped, “I don’t know why they make me go through this part, but I’mma need that money by Monday.”
The relationship between Young Buck and 50 Cent has been strained since Buck’s departure from G-Unit in 2008, leading to diss tracks and social media spats over the years.
Buck has previously accused 50 Cent of pushing him towards bankruptcy by impeding his earnings, a claim he discussed on the “It’s Tricky with Raquel Harper” podcast in 2022.
Despite their rocky past, Young Buck has not ruled out the chance of reconciling with 50 Cent. On “The Ed Clay Show” earlier this year, Buck expressed interest in reuniting with G-Unit for tours and joint ventures, though he acknowledged that re-signing with the label might be a stretch at this point.
