Young Buck has seemingly copped to falling on hard financial times. Shortly after getting out of Tennessee’s Cheatham County Jail, where he’d been since December 2019, reports started to circulate claiming not only did he file for bankruptcy, he also only had $100 in cash to his name and was relying on his girlfriend for his every day needs.
So, the former G-Unit rapper decided to take matters into his own hands and start fundraising on social media. Last week, he recorded a video of himself explaining his new plan for the “Buck 4 Buck” initiative.
“Breaking news, man,” he says with a smirk. “Listen up world, I just seen in the headlines what they were saying, I only got $100 in my pocket, I only got $100 worth of clothes, $100 worth of jewelry — shit like that. I figure now is the perfect time to go there and start a GoFundMe. Send me $1, that’s all need. Just $1, man.
“I guess everybody checking out the headlines about me only have $100 in my pocket…so I put my Cash App up y’all. One buck for Buck, man. That’s all it takes, man. Let’s fix this. I almost got a million followers so one buck for Buck, let’s see what it do.”
Last month, AllHipHop reported Buck had filed for bankruptcy a second time and possibly to avoid a debt with longtime rival and former boss 50 Cent. Court documents allegedly state Buck asked to “reject any and all executory contracts with G-Unit and/or Curtis Jackson.” Buck cites G-Unit as his only employer for the last seven years.
Young Buck Reportedly Files For Bankruptcy To Dodge 50 Cent Debt
HipHopDX ran a story about Buck’s reported financial status on Thursday (June 11), which was promptly shared to Instagram. In the comment section, the veteran rapper replied with a series of laughing emojis, a clear indication he got a kick out of the alleged news.
Music wise, Buck has jumped back in the saddle since his release from jail. Earlier this month, he dropped a new EP called Outbreak featuring seven tracks and guest spots from Caleb Neal and Cherae Leri.
Check out his “Buck 4 Buck” post below.
Buck is dope! For some reason, even tiny blog websites want to keep this man down. Buck is still the best out tha unit. Buck’s mixtapes are 10 times harder than any track 50 has put out in the past 10 years. Buck ain’t broke. Buck ain’t messing with trannies. Buck is back on his BS and that makes y’all nonrappers mad.
He should be asking the transsexual community for support as we’ve been very supportive of him!!
Bucks 4 Trannies Campaign is ironically going strong this month lol
Grow up and act responsible and don’t ask me for shit!
I was framed last year and lost 20k-don’t ask nobody for nothing and went through tough times
But he can just get a regular job
He spent all his money on Tranny Escorts
Buck
I’ve been a fan of your music since I was 17
I’m 33 now.
Always been watching you and listening to your music.
But lately, I went back, and watched old interviews, relisting to your tracks.
And your always bravado about your money sitch.
One video, you’re at 50s mansion
Talking about gambling big chips. And boasting about it and rubbing it in to poorer rappers..
I feel like you put yourself in this position, with arrogance and bafoonary. So you can get yourself out. And bare in mind, there is a pandemic going on. Not alot of people are stable in their finances, so why should they fork out money for you so you can rechase your dreams again? just to blow it all on big ego crap? You’ve already had your shot at the limelight mate and if you lost out. That’s on you.
ALL OF Y’ALL SEEM TO KNOW ALOT ABOUT TRANNYS Y’ALL SOUND DUMB AZZ FUCK
What’s up Buck, give me my money!
Buck is da best in tha UNIT. There’s no question. HIs latest EP is better than most music that have come out in the last 5 years.
Unreal. His hunger and his hustle was so motivational to me. I remember Yayo talking about how big he balled, and Taylor Swift talking about driving by his mansion before she made it big. I can’t believe he wasn’t more careful about his expenses after his first bankruptcy… I guess the DayDate on his wrist is fake too. Wonder what happened to that YB piece. Guess it’s hard to hustle during COVID. Glad he isn’t slinging drugs, he’s too talented of a rapper…
Buck was never that great of a rapper. If he was he would be in 50’s spot. Dude gets no respect anymore after he got caught on the phone with that he she
anyone who gives this guy a dollar is fucking pathetic.
Buck’s “Clean Up Man” shows how he’s level above all these wack rappers. He’s proved time and time again his talent supercedes anyone in the Unit, including 50. Buck’s pen and beat selection (his non trap records) are incredible. Behind Krit, he’s the best in the south and one of the realest.
No buck for buck, be a man n get ya own buck, buck!
Sorry, only got 50 cents.
Young Buck has a great talent for looking like a complete fool. Falling of bikes. Crying over the phone. Trannies. This. Great first album, raw emotion. Loved it. Thought he was going to really get big. It just went downhill from there. After was on his own all the music he’s put out is mediocre. If he looks at his views and streams he should realise it’s time to do something else or get a 9 to 5. But guess begging is a thing to do in 2020.
