The long-standing feud between Young Buck and 50 Cent over a disputed $250,000 payment shows no signs of resolution, even after nearly a decade.
The financial dispute, tied to a 2014 G-Unit Records contract, has resurfaced in new court filings, with Young Buck insisting he never received the money, while 50 Cent maintains the payment was made.
Young Buck, whose real name is David Darnell Brown, argues in court documents that the $250,000 advance promised under the G-Unit deal was never delivered. This disagreement dates back to the rapper’s 2020 bankruptcy case, during which G-Unit filed a claim for the alleged advance. Young Buck objected, leading to ongoing legal wrangling over the validity of the debt.
Initially, the bankruptcy trustee proposed settling the $250,000 claim as part of the proceedings. However, Young Buck’s legal team now challenges its legitimacy, asserting that the contract fails to meet enforceability standards under New York law. The law requires clear evidence of agreement and proof that its terms were fulfilled—proof that, according to Young Buck’s lawyers, is entirely absent.
Adding complexity to the case, G-Unit has admitted it lacks documentation to support its claim. There are no bank statements, business records, or tax filings to corroborate the alleged payment. “G-Unit would have this court accept that no bank records, business records, or tax filings exist to substantiate these payments,” Young Buck’s attorney, Keith Slocum, stated in court.
In light of these discrepancies, Young Buck is urging the bankruptcy judge to dismiss G-Unit’s claim. He maintains that the absence of evidence undermines the credibility of 50 Cent’s allegations and makes the $250,000 demand baseless.
This latest chapter in their dispute highlights the lingering tensions between the former G-Unit collaborators. For now, the case remains unresolved, keeping the decade-long conflict over financial matters alive in the courts.
