After years of legal back-and-forth, the long-standing financial dispute between 50 Cent and former G-Unit member Young Buck may finally be nearing its end. A court has ordered Young Buck to pay $200,006.90 to 50 Cent as part of a final settlement plan stemming from Buck’s ongoing bankruptcy case.
The payment represents approximately 80% of the $250,000 that 50 Cent, born Curtis Jackson, claims he loaned to Buck as a personal advance years ago. The dispute over that sum has played out both in courtrooms and on social media, turning into one of hip-hop’s most drawn-out money feuds.
According to court documents, Young Buck’s estate has generated roughly $1.05 million through the liquidation of assets, including his music catalog, jewelry, vehicles, and studio equipment. Nearly $445,000 has already been allocated to administrative and legal fees, with the remaining funds set to be divided among his creditors. Jackson is expected to receive his payout once the court gives final approval in the coming weeks.
The nature of the disputed $250,000 has been hotly contested. Young Buck, born David Darnell Brown, has previously claimed that the funds were music-related advances tied to his contract with G-Unit, not a personal loan. At other times, Buck questioned whether Jackson could prove the money was given at all.
The pair’s relationship began to unravel in the late 2000s, after Buck parted ways with G-Unit. Since then, they’ve exchanged lawsuits, diss records, and jabs on social media. Despite the occasional tease of reconciliation, the rift has remained largely unresolved—until now.
While Buck has continued to release music independently in recent years, including EPs like Renovation and Target Practice, his financial and legal woes have often overshadowed his creative output.
With this final ruling, one of rap’s longest-running legal disputes may finally be put to rest.
