Young Buck Accuses 50 Cent of Discrediting His Name, Questions, 'Are You Trying to Ja Rule Me Too?'
In a recent interview on Steve-O's Wild Ride podcast, Young Buck delves into his ongoing feud with 50 Cent, questioning if 50 is trying to "Ja Rule" him. The 78-minute conversation sheds light on their complicated history.
At approximately 39 minutes, Young Buck contemplates the intertwining of his G-Unit contract with his initial bankruptcy, resulting in persisting challenges. Even after securing a discharge in his second bankruptcy, Buck grapples with a revived $250,000 debt claim associated with 50 Cent.
Expressing bewilderment, Buck wonders why 50 Cent seems determined to harm his ability to provide for his family. Despite acknowledging past misunderstandings, Buck emphasizes that 50 has gone to extremes to discredit him, urging him to recall their once-brotherly relationship.
While admitting to personal mistakes, Buck finds 50's aggression unwarranted, drawing parallels to 50 Cent's notorious disputes, particularly with Ja Rule. Given the intensity of their feud, the rapper questions if he's being "Ja Ruled" by 50.

Addressing financial support, Buck clarifies that 50 Cent never covered expenses without expecting repayment. Nevertheless, he acknowledges the assistance during a crucial phase of his career.
Beyond the feud, Buck reflects on significant life events, such as purchasing a house for his mother during his early music career success. He shares insights into 50 Cent's past conflicts with artists like Ja Rule and Fat Joe, emphasizing that these were authentic, not scripted for television.
Legal documents from 2022 reveal that the $250,000 debt Buck mentions is linked to a 2014 recording contract dispute, where 50 Cent alleges non-fulfillment.
Young Buck's mid-2000s solo albums under G-Unit, "Straight Outta Cashville" and "Buck the World," showcased their collaboration. However, by 2008, 50 Cent announced Buck's departure on Hot 97. A leaked recorded phone conversation further fueled tensions, leading to Buck's "Taped Conversation" diss.
