The tension between 50 Cent and Young Buck has erupted once again, and this time, it’s more intense than ever. In the midst of swirling rumors and rising speculation, 50 finally spoke up—clearing the air about why Buck was really dropped from G-Unit, and it’s not just one reason. It’s a combination of betrayal, bad business, and broken loyalty.

It all started back when 50 said, *“I’m the cleanup man for all the ones that had speculations about whatever went down with the Unit. I’m here to clear it up.”* According to him, Buck was out there acting like everything was fine, still trying to show love in the streets, while allegedly trying to sabotage 50’s brand behind the scenes. Pulling music down, issuing cease-and-desist orders, and spreading petty fliers and passive-aggressive stunts—yet still clinging to the G-Unit contract.

*”If you’re really solid like you say, then let me go,”* Buck challenged 50. But things only got messier from there.

**Fast forward to March 20th.** Buck, real name David Darnell Brown, was hit with another major setback—this time legal. After repeatedly violating the terms of his bond—specifically by missing scheduled check-ins—a Tennessee judge ordered Buck to serve 30 days in jail. His charges? Domestic assault and possession of a firearm as a convicted felon. He’s now awaiting a jury trial.

And of course, 50 Cent wasted no time. Just hours after the news broke, 50 posted Buck’s mugshot on Instagram, hinting he got roughed up during his arrest—complete with a caption that twisted the knife. Typical 50—weaponizing social media like only he can.

What’s wild is that behind bars, rumors started swirling that Buck issued serious threats toward 50. Nothing has been confirmed, but insiders say Buck was *furious* about 50 mocking him online, and he may have snapped.

But here’s the thing—this beef goes *way* back. To really understand why it keeps exploding, you’ve gotta rewind.

Remember the 2019 saga? When 50 was relentlessly trolling Buck online, accusing him of being romantically involved with a transgender woman? Buck completely lost it, publicly threatening 50 and even hinting at linking up with *Ja Rule*—which, given 50’s history with Ja, was a *huge* shot.

Then came more allegations from Buck: that 50 intentionally tried to destroy his music career. Sending legal threats. Blocking releases. Keeping him locked into a dead-end contract. From Buck’s side, it looked like his former mentor turned into his biggest obstacle.

But 50’s version of events paints a whole different picture.

According to him—and backed up by longtime G-Unit member Tony Yayo—Buck was reckless with money. Yayo once said Buck blew through *$250,000* on cars, gaudy furniture (including a white living room set and a TV bed), and bling. Plus, Buck allegedly got mixed up with BMF and was constantly buying large amounts of weed. 50 even brought that up on *Piers Morgan*, contrasting Buck’s lifestyle with his own clean, business-minded image.

Then there was the issue of **loyalty**. A big one for 50. Even after being dropped from G-Unit, Buck was reportedly seen hanging out with 50’s rivals, especially The Game. Buck claimed it was coincidence—that he just ran into them in the same industry circles. But 50 didn’t buy it. In his world, proximity to enemies is betrayal, plain and simple.

And don’t forget the IRS drama. When Buck was drowning in tax debt, 50 allegedly lent him money to help out. But Buck never paid it back. Then the infamous **leaked phone call** surfaced—Buck crying, pleading with 50 for help. It was public humiliation on a whole new level.

So when Buck recently gave an interview claiming he *still doesn’t understand* why 50 cut him off—it raised eyebrows. He said, *“I don’t know why he doesn’t want me to feed my family. I’d never wish that on him—even with our misunderstandings.”*

That statement felt completely disconnected from the mountain of drama we’ve seen unfold.

Which begs the question: Is Buck *really* confused about why the relationship fell apart? Or is this selective memory—a calculated move to win public sympathy?

50 actually addressed that mentality back in 2016 in a Hot 97 interview. He said people only ever see *his* reaction—they never look at what the other person did to provoke it. He even admitted that when he sees someone’s character fall short, he starts to *devalue* them. That’s how he operates. Cold. Ruthless. Business-first.

So what we’re left with now are two wildly conflicting narratives. Buck sees himself as a victim—confused, locked up, and betrayed. Meanwhile, 50 sees Buck as the architect of his own downfall—irresponsible, disloyal, and self-destructive.

And with Buck behind bars, and 50 clowning him online yet again, it feels like this beef is far from over.
