50 Cent has said he’s done “carrying” G-Unit and that it’s unlikely the Queens group will ever make another record together.
During an interview with The Breakfast Club on Friday (August 12), Fif was asked whether he would ever reunite with Lloyd Banks and Tony Yayo for another project or work on a G-Unit documentary.
“I probably won’t do a project with them,” 50 answered. “I’m done with carrying them around. My back hurt.”
Breakfast Club co-host Charlamagne Tha God then pointed out that 50 still tours with Yayo. The G-Unit mogul explained he doesn’t hold the same gripes with the Talk of New York as he does the rest of his former artists.
“[Yayo] is a different animal,” 50 Cent said. “If he does something wrong, I don’t care what magnitude of it is, he’ll go, ‘My bad.’ And he’ll go, ‘Aight.’ And we just keep going ’til the next time he does something wrong.”
He continued: “That is our relationship. Now, when you look at Banks, all these other guys, they came in by way of him and they have a different temperament. It’s not like, it’s not the same relationship. So, I don’t necessarily go back to carrying him. Yay is different.”
See 50’s comments about G-Unit around the 7:57 mark below:
G-Unit was a dominating force in rap in the early 2000s. After a string of mixtapes, the members of the group — 50 Cent, Young Buck, Lloyd Banks and a then-incarcerated Tony Yayo — unleashed their debut album Beg For Mercy in November 2003, which went on to sell over four million copies.
After the release of 50’s game-changing debut album, Get Rich or Die Tryin’, the group’s individual members released their own solo projects.
Banks put out the double platinum-selling The Hunger For More in 2004; Buck released his platinum debut Straight Outta Cashville the same year; and Yayo dropped his gold-selling album Thoughts of a Predicate Felon in 2005 after being released from prison.
But over the next several years, tensions within the group grew and would ultimately lead to their breakup.

50’s latest comments about The Unit come after recently claiming many of his former artists blame him all the time for their career failures.
Speaking to Houston’s 97.9 The Box, the Hip Hop mogul was asked whether there’s ever been anyone who spoke out against him but later did a u-turn and apologized for their actions.
“Yeah, I get that all the time,” 50 answered. “What’s ill is, when you’re in the seat, the driver’s seat, a lot of times, no, every time something goes wrong it’s your fault. If you ask artists why their career didn’t go the way they want, it’s the [fault of the] record label. See what I’m saying?
“I happened to become the record label; so all of those artists that were around and didn’t do exactly what they thought they were supposed to do, it’s my fault that it didn’t. They give it to me individually now, like it’s not the company, it’s him.”
50, hate to break it to you but they’d be carrying you lyrically. Even Tony Yayo could body him at this point, and Lloyd Banks is far superior.
50 had the most success out of everyone in the group (including Game), so yeah, he was carrying everybody and they all let him down.
That’s cuz only cuz Dr Dre/Eminem/Jimmy Iovine/Interscope records were behind him. Without them he would’ve flopped like a fish and did if you look at his Animal Ambition album. He got hungry, got sponsored, got rich and stopped trying, and then filed bankruptcy and started doing Hollywood crime drama shows and bounced back financially but musically he’s not really cared since he’s felt there’s more steady money in his show.
You just don’t know when 2 shut up!
Speak for yourself, Boo Boo.
He ain’t nothing but a troll now just like you
Neither do you.
At least Ice Cube is doing Big 3 better than his rap career even Akon is building a city too, so we all know who also either took hiatuses or retired from doing music.
Idk about that. If 50 never signed with Shady Aftermath, he would’ve easily still been a huge hit in NY. Power Of The Dollar was HUGE at the time. He was already getting big before his official debut, kinda like J Cole with his come up music, and Kendrick with OD. They were destined to make it somewhat big no matter what as long as they stayed on their paths. With that said, I think 50 would still been big, not as big without Dre though. And Game, likely wouldn’t have been very big at all without dre. Those contributions and productions pm both GRODT and Documentary were stellar, more so on GRODT. But again, to me, POTD was super dope, with amazing production, even better than GRODT, where is Game to me never sounded all too amazing without being on special dre productions (and dres ghost producers obviously)
I think Banks and Game are fine with that!
Man Banks is back. Game Over!
Facts
I think 50 no longer cares for that space. The rest of them kinda gotta rap bc That’s their thing. 50 has made something else his thing. It’s 2023 not 02-03. His endeavors outside of rhyme is going well for him. Lol 50 gonna trigger someone. Him carrying G-Unit in 2023 is hilarious 50 dgaf about a hit record so he def dgaf about rapping
all you people know is opening your legs. you don’t know honor you don’t know prestige you don’t know what standards are. what a pathetic loser comment this is. 50 cent is supposed to be a rapper you on here cheerleading his bank account like I’m supposed to give a fuck. Every white dude 50 works for has more money than him so why should i be impressed by anything other than a record?
You sound like the worst type of cracker
2002-2006 was an insane time for Shady. I’ll never forget getting head at a Moms Spaghetti while 8 mile was playing on mute and lose yourself was playing over the PA system. To be 11 again, the good ol’ days
LOL STFU
If anything 50 cent needs Lloyd banks to carry him in order to make an album. Feature banks on every song is the only way he could make a good album. It’s like jay electronica having jay z on every song to make his album good.
I like 50 cause G Unit kinda reminded of NWA. I don’t like how he tries to front his boys out. That’s why I don’t watch Power or anything 50 does. He front his own son out. Boy look just like him. Cause he don’t like his baby mama. That’s being fake to me. Why people don’t bring it up I dunno. I can see why he don’t want Game in the group. He was never really part of the group. But Banks been down since Day 1. And they grew up together. Fiddy need his Culture cancelled.
The difference between Banks and Yayo. Yayo bends over. And sobbing 50 nob. He dont hide it. He will tell the world. They was all down at one point. 50 a Narcissist. He played his son, Dre with the headphones and Floyd. And he really didn’t care about his fans. All he does is talk reckless. He need to get cancelled and PowerBS anyway.
I disagree power is lit. But every thing else said is true. Besides I only Rick with banks and fif more. Wasn’t really big on everybody else records. I still played their albums though. Except yayo he’s trash. That’s why he riding fif so much.
Yayo dont have any songs out people listen to.
True but they def fuck with his interviews heavy. So the music don’t matter. Young Buck still putting out fire as well as Banks. They good.
the music don’t matter? are you his accountant? Who gives a fuck about his situation. He’s not homeless- you people sold us out! all you know is hoe biz – all you people know is opening your legs. you don’t know honor you don’t know prestige you don’t know what standards are. what a pathetic loser comment this is. 50 cent is supposed to be a rapper you on here cheerleading his bank account like I’m supposed to give a fuck. Every white dude 50 works for has more money than him so why should i be impressed by anything other than a record?
Banks and Game wayyyyyyyy better than 50. 50 acting like its 2002.
He also explains how they skipped business calls to party. Or how he was paying them a salary to promote G-Unit Reeboks and they weren’t wearing them. Don’t be fooled by headlines them dudes are bums.
Banks, Yayo, Game, Olivia and Buck could do a tour together and it doesn’t have a fraction of the impact without 50. He is to G-Unit what Eminem is to D12 or Nelly to the St. Lunatics. Say whatever you want about how Banks and Game are lyrically above him. Doesn’t matter, he is the MAIN star of that brand by no small measure. As individuals they’re all doing fine but as a brand it’s safe to say G-Unit needs 50, 50 does not need G-Unit.
All I know is I dont want a gunit reunion. Banks is the only member who actually still produces great music. Games new album sounds like a Jay Z karaoke night.
Weird since the only one dropping music is banks.. Coti 1 is a classic
Thank God.
I know 50 does his own TV shows/business moves but I don’t understand why he must continually throw shade to his former G Unit members. NO ONE is checking for any 50 cent music and hasn’t for years. Meanwhile he still talk like he’s this big draw in music, he’s musically irrelevant. Besides Banks was always more talented
His last single… has 150+ million views.
His last Tour was sold out in all the venues he performed at…That’s pretty big
I don’t really life the Power fairy tales they put on TV. I don’t know anybody that lives like that. These people trying to normalize a gangsta lifestyle among middle class blacks and educated people. All these rappers lined up to play killers, dopers and con men, just make things harder for normal folks trying to live their lives 5 days a week. Just seems like they want to justify today’s artless trap rap lifestyle with these fake historical mob dramas. Fake as fuck. All your heroes dead or in jail and none of them name Pablo. More like Pernell
Out of all these comments, This FUCK shit bothered me the most. Either you live under a rock or were born with a silver spoon in your mouth, Where I’m from every show 50 Drop is definitely real-life shit that that’s going on every day. But yeah, Maybe you were born with everything and never had to get it the best way you can.
Banks and buck are better rappers started outshining 50, that’s all I see. 50 cent can’t rap worth a shit. It’s go 50 ain’t nobody gonna respect your pen as much as the respect banks
“If he does something wrong, I don’t care what magnitude of it is, he’ll go, ‘My bad.’ And he’ll go, ‘Aight.’ And we just keep going ’til the next time he does something wrong.” – what a way to degrade and talk down on your most loyal friend. This clown only wants to surround himself with submissive yes men that worship him. Pretty fucking strange.
The soul was sold for that fame and attention, cannot expect any decency out of these types of people that wouldn’t hesitate to toss you under the moving buss to save they’re own ass
But 50 took Yayo to his tour around the world, he didn’t have to do that.
The Unit >>> Wu Tang
Yayo is the least talented one of the group consisting of 50, Banks, Buck, The Game, Yayo. Banks been heating up and staying true to his craft.
50 is very talented and outgoing and he has to realize that it’s very rare and other people aren’t going to necessarily be like that, but it wouldn’t kill him to do one track with the fellas for old times sake, even if it’s just the original trio.
At least Banks is still dropping music. His last 2 albums are classics!!!!!!
G-Unit has been dead for years. Game killed all of them and is now killing Eminem.
50 doesn’t even want to do his own personal album
