50 Cent Set To Receive $200K Payment From Young Buck After Prolonged Bankruptcy Battle

After years of legal back-and-forth, 50 Cent is finally poised to collect a long-disputed payment from former G-Unit signee Young Buck, bringing closure to one of Hip-Hop’s most drawn-out financial feuds. A court has ordered Buck to pay $200,006.90 to 50 Cent — roughly 80% of the $250,000 Fif claims he lent to the Tennessee rapper as a personal loan. The payment comes as part of a final distribution plan in Young Buck’s bankruptcy case, where his estate has raised approximately $1.05 million through the liquidation of his assets, including his music catalog, vehicles, jewelry, and studio equipment. $445,000 of that sum has already been allocated to legal and administrative costs, leaving just over $600,000 to be divided among remaining creditors. Fif is expected to receive his lump sum once the court formally approves the distribution plan in the coming weeks. The exact nature of the $250,000 in question has been a point of contention for years. Young Buck has at times insisted that the funds were advance payments for future music releases under G-Unit, not a personal loan. At other times, he’s cast doubt on whether 50 Cent can prove the money was ever given at all. This development marks a likely end to a bitter and very public dispute between the former collaborators. 50 Cent and Young Buck’s relationship began to deteriorate in the late 2000s, leading to repeated social media jabs, diss tracks, and lawsuits. Despite an occasional suggestion of reconciliation, tensions have remained high.
