Former G-Unit rapper Young Buck will pay 50 Cent $200,006.90 after a court ruled in favor of the hip-hop mogul in a long-running financial dispute. The payment comes from the liquidation of Buck’s assets, including music royalties and personal belongings.
The $250,000 Loan Dispute
The legal battle between 50 Cent (Curtis Jackson) and Young Buck (David Darnell Brown) started over a $250,000 payment. 50 Cent claimed it was a personal loan, while Buck argued it was an advance for music releases under G-Unit Records.
Buck previously denied receiving the money, saying:
“[50 Cent] never proved that he gave me the money.”
Despite his objections, the bankruptcy court in Nashville ruled in 50 Cent’s favor. Since Buck had no secured creditors, the court prioritized unsecured debts, including the $200,006.90 owed to 50 Cent.
Young Buck’s Bankruptcy and Asset Liquidation
Young Buck filed for bankruptcy in 2020, and his estate was forced to sell assets to pay debts. These included:
- Music royalties
- Luxury cars
- Jewelry
- Studio equipment
The liquidation raised $1.05 million, with $445,000 spent on legal and administrative fees. The remaining $600,000 will be distributed among creditors, with 50 Cent receiving the largest share.
50 Cent’s Social Media Taunts
50 Cent is known for publicly calling out people who owe him money. When Buck was arrested earlier this year, 50 Cent mocked him on Instagram:
“Damn how dat 🥷🏾 head get like that 😳 police must’ve hit him in the head. LOL.”
He also repeated his famous demand:
“I don’t know why they make me go through this part, but I’m a need that money by Monday.”
Young Buck’s Side of the Story
Buck admitted that 50 Cent helped him early in his career but insisted he always paid back what he owed. On Steve-O’s Wild Ride! podcast, he said:
“He did help me. 50 never paid nothing that I didn’t have to pay back. So even though he might have—he did help, I still had to give him that money back.”
He also explained how financial mismanagement led to his bankruptcy:
“I bought multiple houses, which led to my becoming bankrupt. My mother still lives down the street in the projects.”
What Happens Next?
The court will finalize the payment distribution in the coming weeks. Once 50 Cent receives his money, this decade-long feud may finally end. Buck has expressed interest in touring with G-Unit again but ruled out rejoining the label.
“Could I come back to G-Unit and tour and get money together? Yeah. I’m open to that. In regards to me signing to the label and stuff like that, I think that’s a little bit far-fetched right now.”
Fan Reactions
Fans had mixed reactions to the news. Some supported 50 Cent’s victory, while others felt Buck should keep the money.
