Young Buck Ousted from G-Unit



50 Cent talked to Hot 97's Miss Jones on Monday (April 7) and revealed that Young Buck is no longer a member of G-Unit. Buck was one of his artists who has had a tumultuous relationship with G-Unit for several months.

"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´s Morning Show with Miss Jones.

Most recently, in an exclusive interview with Yo! Raps, Young Buck revealed that he had not collected any royalty income as an artist on G-Unit Records. During the interview with radio personality Miss Info, 50 was asked about this controversy surrounding Young Buck. The G-Unit founder explained that he's tried several times to discuss finances with his roster, but when they don't listen, they turn on him.

To many people it was obvious that the split between Young Buck and 50 Cent was just a matter of time. Young Buck, born David Darnell Brown, once was to lead the charge for 50 Cent’s G-Unit South 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. Young Buck was expected to appear on "Lock & Load", the follow up to G-Unit’s 2003 debut album "Beg For Mercy."

But given the constant game of musical chairs with 50 and G-Unit, who's surprised? Not I.
