50 Cent has made it clear about the status of Young Buck, one of his artists who has had a shaky relationship with the company for several months.


50 Cent revealed today [April 7] that the Tennessee rapper was no longer in G-Unit the group, but would still record for the label.


"You can look at it and see that's Game [former G-Unit rapper] all the way. I was giving him a chance, giving him the benefit of the doubt [to remain with the group]. You can take this as an official notice right here - pretty much you can say: Young Buck is no longer in the group G-Unit, but signed to G-Unit [Records] as a solo artist," 50 Cent told DJ Envy, a co-host on the Hot 97 Morning Show with Miss Jones.


Most recently, Young Buck revealed that he had not collected any royalty income as an artist on G-Unit Records, a subsidiary of Interscope. Those reports were quickly dispelled by Sha Money XL, manager of Young Buck, who said the rapper was "waving the G-Unit flag strong."


"There has been a new rumor going around that 50 Cent has not paid Young Buck any royalties," Sha Money XL told AllHipHop.com. "I, as Buck's manager and as former President of G-Unit Records, want to make it clear: that is false. Young Buck has cleared over $10 million dollars working under 50 Cent's and my guidance."


Young Buck, born David Darnell Brown, was expected to appear on Shoot to Kill, the follow up to G-Unit's 2003 debut album titled Beg For Mercy.


Young Buck once was to lead the charge for 50 Cent's G-Unit Sout imprint. Instead, the rapper started Cashville Records and signed rap vet C-Bo and The Outlawz, who were a part of Tupac's inner circle of emcees.


But has also started David Brown clothing to supplement his rap offerings.


50 Cent and The Game initially parted ways, because the Compton upstart wouldn't assume beefs with Nas and Fat Joe that the rest of G-Unit had declared.

..well let see how this all works out!
Buck can now concentrate on his label.
I wonder if 50 will still be on his album???

[wc-reppin]

Buck and Game cd coming soon lol. Nah on the real I honestly like Buck the best out of G-Unit. This is a loss for that group. They are already falling on hard times and this was not a good step to help that out.

That Buck and Outlawz song that dropped last year Drivin down the Freeway was sick as hell.

[SmokinDro520]

Good News,Now buck can do his own thing and hopefully he'll hook up with game to do a track.

Well, if Buck is no longer in the group, i'm no longer waiting for "Shoot To Kill". G-Unit is nothing without Buck.

[Meho]

We'll see, the whole thing sounds fishy to me, Buck is on the 1st single, 50 was on the radio like 2,3 weeks ago saying everything is cool. Buck is by far the best on G-Unit right now but as far as his behaviour, he has been saying some wierd shit for the past 6 months, like he's trying to get off G-Unit on purpose.

Anyways, I hope he does something with Chasville records, all the Outlawz & C-Bo collabos were great so far.

NOW THAT BANKS IS THE ONLY TALENTED CLOWN LEFT IN THE CIRCUS, WHEN WILL HE LEAVE?

[K.Dub]

Hmm, I knew something was up.

Ok wait, I wasn't reading carefully before, he's still signed to GUnit records but not a part of the group. What the fuck does that mean lol ?
