In a recent development within the hip-hop community, rapper Young Buck has been sentenced to 30 days in prison for violating the terms of his bond. This sentence comes amid ongoing legal troubles, including drug and domestic violence charges. The news of Buck’s arrest has prompted a wave of commentary on social media, particularly from fellow rapper 50 Cent, who has a well-documented history of trolling his former G-Unit associate.
On April 9, 50 Cent took to Instagram to share a report concerning Young Buck’s arrest, humorously questioning the shape of Buck’s head in a caption that read, “Damn how that ninja head get like that. Police must have hit him in a very head. Lol.” To further emphasize his mockery, 50 Cent posted an animated image of the character Megamind, accompanied by the song “What the Heli” by Rob49, delivering his usual brand of irreverent humor.
According to court documents, Young Buck faced legal repercussions for failing to meet the required check-ins with his bond supervisor while awaiting trial. He was mandated to attend these check-ins twice a month but reportedly missed multiple appointments. Following the completion of his prison sentence, Buck is expected to return to court for a hearing that will determine whether a new bond will be set.
The relationship between 50 Cent and Young Buck has been characterized by public disputes and escalating tensions since their time together in G-Unit. Their rivalry reportedly stems from management disagreements, particularly surrounding the firing of Sha Money XL, the group’s manager at the time. While 50 Cent advocated for finding new management, Young Buck’s reluctance to part ways with Sha Money XL created significant friction between the two artists.
As their professional relationship deteriorated, additional disputes regarding finances and contractual obligations intensified their conflict. Young Buck’s filing for bankruptcy in 2020 was a significant point in their feud, which he claimed was an attempt to escape his contract with G-Unit Records. In response, 50 Cent asserted that Buck owed him money, further complicating their already strained relationship.
Despite Young Buck’s expressed confusion over the origins of their fallout, stating in interviews that he does not fully understand the extent of 50 Cent’s criticism, the latter has continued to leverage social media to highlight Buck’s financial struggles and legal issues. This ongoing feud serves as a prominent example of how professional disagreements can evolve into long-standing personal conflicts within the music industry, reflecting the complexities and challenges that artists can face in their careers.
As the situation continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how Young Buck will navigate his legal challenges and whether the longstanding feud with 50 Cent will see any resolution.
