Young Buck to Finally Repay $250,000 Loan to 50 Cent

Young Buck is finally set to repay 50 Cent the $250,000 loan that was given to help cover his financial problems.

On Tuesday, August 12, documents obtained confirmed that Young Buck, the rapper known for “Shorty Wanna Ride”, declared bankruptcy and sold many of his notable assets to raise over $1 million. This financial effort ensures that Buck can now repay the $250,000 loan he received from 50 Cent back in 2020. Additionally, Buck will also settle a $190,000 IRS lien and his child support debts.

Reacting to Buck’s recent financial update, 50 Cent took to Instagram to remind his former G-Unit member to settle the debt as soon as possible. “I don’t know why they make me go through this part, but I’m a need that money by Monday,” 50 wrote alongside a screenshot from an AllHipHop report.

The tension between 50 Cent and Young Buck has been longstanding, stemming from Buck’s forced departure from G-Unit in 2008. Buck has often attributed his financial difficulties to 50 Cent’s influence, alleging that 50 Cent played a significant role in forcing him into bankruptcy.

Back in September 2021, it was reported that 50 Cent intended to sue Young Buck for music that was still owed to G-Unit. At the time, 50 Cent purportedly aimed to collect the $250,000 debt and two albums that Buck had not completed for the label. According to reports, Buck had signed a two-year agreement with G-Unit in 2014, which initiated after the release of his debut album.

In a 2022 interview on the “It’s Tricky With Raquel Harper” podcast, Buck placed the blame on 50 Cent for hindering his ability to release music. “Once he stopped me from being able to make money, I filed another bankruptcy,” Buck explained on the podcast. He elaborated further, saying that 50 Cent’s actions prevented him from making a living, compelling him to take drastic financial measures.

During the same conversation, Buck expressed that he wasn’t interested in a prolonged legal battle with 50 Cent. His primary focus was to find a way to move forward financially and professionally without further conflict.

50 Cent’s response to Buck’s new financial situation has been clear and direct, emphasizing his eagerness to recover the loaned money. The mutual public exchanges between the two artists have often highlighted their strained relationship, but this recent development might mark a step towards financial resolution for Buck.

Fans and observers of the hip-hop community have closely followed the dynamic between 50 Cent and Young Buck, which has seen its share of ups and downs over the years. As Buck begins to settle his debts, the industry watches to see how this financial reprieve might impact his future projects and potential reconciliation with former allies.
