50 Cent is set to receive over $200,000 from former G-Unit member Young Buck, bringing an end to their years-long bankruptcy battle.
Court documents show that Young Buck has agreed to pay $200,006.90 to 50 Cent to settle a debt dispute dating back several years. The issue stems from a $250,000 payment that 50 claims was a personal loan, while Buck has long argued it was an advance for future music releases under the G-Unit label. At one point, Buck even denied ever receiving the money, saying, “[50 Cent] never proved that he gave me the money.”
Despite his objections, the bankruptcy court ruled in 50’s favor. Because Buck has no secured creditors, his estate must prioritize paying unsecured creditors like 50 Cent. Trustee Erica R. Johnson revealed that Buck’s estate has amassed about $1.05 million through the liquidation of his assets, including his music catalog, vehicles, jewelry, and studio equipment.
Nearly $445,000 of that total has already gone toward legal and administrative costs, leaving just over $600,000 to be divided among remaining creditors. 50 Cent’s claim represents one of the largest and will be paid out once the court finalizes the distribution plan in the coming weeks.
The feud between 50 and Buck has been ongoing for years, with 50 regularly trolling his former bandmate online. After Buck’s arrest earlier this year, 50 even posted his mugshot with a jab at his head shape, writing: “Damn how dat head get like that police must’ve hit him in the head. LOL.”
