YOUNG BUCK REPORTEDLY AUCTIONING OFF CATALOG TO PAY $250K DEBT TO 50 CENT
Young Buck is
reportedly auctioning off his catalog to help pay off a massive debt he owes to 50 Cent.
The pair have been at
serious odds with each other ever since Buck said the G-Unit leader forced him to declare bankruptcy in 2020.
50 had sued Young Buck over
music he claimed was still owed to G-Unit, and according to court documents
presented in Buck’s bankruptcy case, 50 planned to
claim two owed albums and a $250,000 debt from Buck, citing a two-year
agreement he signed back in 2014.
Now, it seems Young Buck — who has struggled with financial woes in recent years due to child support debts
and issues with the IRS — is going to serious lengths to pay back the Power mogul,
with AllHipHop reporting that the Tennessee rapper is
selling off the rights to his music in order to generate some revenue.
The outlet confirmed that Buck is auctioning off his performance
royalties, mechanical royalties, publishing royalties and song copyrights,
which have been valued at over $700,000 by brokerage firm SongVest, which
specializes in auctioning off music royalties.
Trustee Erica R. Johnson told the outlet the catalog’s auction will
likely be enough to pay off some of Buck’s creditors, including 50 Cent.
Buck has been very transparent about his situation with 50 Cent, saying
in an interview with the It’s Tricky with Raquel Harper podcast
that the Get Rich Or Die Tryin’ rapper was to blame for his
bankruptcy filing in 2020.
“Once he stopped me from being able to make money, I filed another
bankruptcy,” Buck said. “They stopped him from being able to cease-and-desist
in regards to me being able to, you know.”
He continued: “I included what he claimed that I owed him in the
bankruptcy to be able to say, ‘Well hey, if you’re owed this and present
whatever receipts or whatever… You will be paid type of situation.’ But that
was the only way I was able to go forward with working, so.”
However, Buck clarified that he would never pursue any legal action
against his former collaborator.
“We at a standstill, I’m definitely not looking to go down a whole long
drawn-out court situation, things like that, when it could all get handled and
be done on a business level if we had that conversation to get that clarity,”
he said.
“He could get whatever he’s looking for from me, I can get what I’m
needing from him. I can move on with my life, and continue feeding my kids.
“He could do the same. Like I said, my biggest situation was the fact that he sent cease-and-desists out to try to stop all of my music, and get everything pulled down based on saying I’m still an artist on G-Unit.”
