After recently kicking Young Buck out of the G Unit group, 50 Cent has stated that he hasn't talked to Buck. This problem stemmed from an earlier incident when Young Buck stated that he had not received royalties from G Unit or 50 Cent for the work he did with them. 50 Cent refuted the statements along with other members of G Unit, saying that each active member of G Unit with solo releases has made about $10 million with the group since they started.
Fif said that he was shocked when he heard the news, since he felt that none of the G Unit members were underpaid when in fact he felt they were overpaid. He said "My concept for being able to continuously win championship games is to keep the players fed."
Furthermore, 50 Cent blames Young Buck's money problems on the fact that he spends too much money. He says that Buck lives like a "drug dealer" and that his lifestyle consists of excessive spending to the point where out of desperation, he makes out of line statements about being underpaid.
There were also rumors that 50 Cent withheld a royalty check because he loaned Young Buck money to get out of tax trouble. Fif denies the rumors, saying that he never withheld any check and that he helped out Buck like he would for anyone else.
There was a point where 50 Cent loaned Young Buck up to $330,000 and Young Buck apparently still spent money like normal, which shows Buck's inability to manage money.
In addition to being in debt to 50 Cent, Young Buck was increasingly distancing himself from the G Unit group and forming his own Cashville Records.
Rumors about 50 Cent using this to jump start the buzz for the upcoming G Unit album was also refuted by Fif. He was also supporting Buck in the idea of starting Cashville records, even going as far as to say he was supporting The Game back when he was part of G Unit. 50 Cent told both Young Buck and Game that he was fine with them starting Cashville Records and Black Wallstreet respectively while they were still cool with G Unit.
