Young Buck is set to finally pay off his debt to former friend and label boss 50 Cent as their legal dispute has come to an end.
Now, Buck (real name David Brown) has gone through the bankruptcy process and has been able to pay off his debts to 50, according to AllHipHop.
The Straight Outta Cashville rapper has sold off his most valuable assets as part of his bankruptcy, including items of jewelry, luxury cars and the rights to his back catalog, raising just over $1 million.
He has used the $1 million to free his obligations to 50, as well as pay off a $190,000 IRS lien plus child support debts.
Buck is now free of any recording obligations to 50 Cent and is able to resume earning income from his rap career.
As expected, it did not take 50 long to react to the news, with the rap legend and mogul saying on Instagram that he wants his money pronto.
He wrote: “I don’t know why they make me go through this part, but I’m a need that money by Monday.”
50 Cent and Young Buck have had bad blood ever since the Tennessee native was expelled from G-Unit in 2008. Outside of diss tracks and shots on social media, Buck has blamed 50 for forcing him into bankruptcy.
“Once he stopped me from being able to make money, I filed another bankruptcy,” he said on the It’s Tricky with Raquel Harper podcast in 2022. “They stopped him from being able to cease-and-desist in regards to me being able to, you know.
“I included what he claimed that I owed him in the bankruptcy to be able to say, ‘Well hey, if you’re owed this and present whatever receipts or whatever… You will be paid type of situation.’ But that was the only way I was able to go forward with working, so.”
Despite their issues, Buck has not ruled out a reconciliation with his former G-Unit comrade.
“Could I come back to G-Unit and tour and get money together? Yeah. I’m open to that,” he said during an appearance on The Ed Clay Show earlier this year. “In regards to me signing to the label and stuff like that, I think that’s a little bit far-fetched right now.”
