Young Buck Finally Repays $250K Debt to 50 Cent

Former G-Unit rapper Young Buck has finally settled his $250,000 debt to 50 Cent, according to reports from AllHipHop. The debt originated from a loan 50 Cent provided to help Buck, real name David Darnell Brown, during a period of financial difficulty.

To clear the debt, Buck sold off most of his assets, including luxury cars, jewelry, and even the rights to his music catalog as part of his bankruptcy filing.

In total, Buck managed to raise over $1 million by liquidating his assets, which he used not only to repay 50 Cent but also to settle a $190,000 debt with the IRS. With these debts cleared, Buck is now free to resume his music career without any financial obligations hanging over his head.

50 Cent, never one to shy away from social media, took the opportunity to taunt Buck after the repayment, writing, “I don’t know why they make me go through this part, but I’m a need that money by Monday.” Buck, however, responded with a celebratory post on Instagram, declaring, “#Unbothered FrFr Ayeeeeee….. Im A FREE AGENT!! I WON‼️ Stay Tuned…”

In past interviews, Buck discussed the financial struggles that led to his debt with 50 Cent and the potential consequences of repaying it.

During a 2022 appearance on the It’s Tricky with Raquel Harper podcast, Buck explained how filing for bankruptcy allowed him to continue working despite the financial constraints imposed by his debt to 50 Cent.

He recounted how the bankruptcy process prevented 50 Cent from issuing cease-and-desist orders that would have further hindered his ability to earn money.

Earlier this year, Buck appeared on The Ed Clay Show, where he expressed openness to the idea of reuniting with G-Unit for tours and collaborations, although he seemed less enthusiastic about re-signing with the label.

With his financial obligations now behind him, Young Buck can focus on his future as an independent artist, free to release new music and move forward in his career.
