Young Buck fans gathered to protest at a Tennessee courthouse this week after the rapper was sentenced to serve jail time for violating his bond supervision.
According to News Nation, a small crowd stood outside the Sumner County Courthouse on Wednesday (April 23) following Buck’s 30-day sentence that was handed down earlier this month.
Buck was arrested in his home state of Tennessee on April 7 after he missed a number of meetings with his bond supervisor. Eric Mauldin, Assistant District Attorney for Sumner County, claims that Buck was under order to meet with his bond supervisor twice a month while he is under GPS monitoring for convictions in domestic abuse and drug cases and failed to do so.
But protestors feel the matter is “political and police corruption,” with one woman telling the news outlet: “I hope they start weeding out these corrupt police, judges, DA’s — all of it.”

While the protest appeared to have little bearing on Buck’s bid, Sumner County Sheriff Eric Craddock did thank the demonstrators for expressing their views in a “lawful and respectful manner” in a statement.
Ever the troll, 50 Cent wasted little time in mocking his former signee over his renewed legal woes upon his arrest a few weeks back.
Alongside a picture of his mugshot, Fif mocked Young Buck’s bald-headed appearance by writing: “Damn how dat [ninja emoji] head get like that, police must’ve hit him in the head. LOL.”

The Power mogul then posted a gif of the main character from the animated film Mastermind, who has a very large forehead.
“I gotta get back to work, LOL,” he joked alongside a grinning face emoji.
50 previously took a shot at Buck earlier this year after he waded into his ongoing feud with Big Meech.
In a video shared online, Buck sent a message to the former drug kingpin’s detractors — chief of which is 50 — while celebrating his recent release from prison.

“Shout out to Big Meech. Welcome home. Quit playing with dude. I’ma say that much,” the “Shawty Wanna Ride” hitmaker said.
50 interpreted Buck’s comments as being aimed at him and hit back by mocking his former collaborator’s alleged sexuality.
“[Flushed face emoji] This fool fell out with me because he like boys,” he wrote on Instagram while resharing the aforementioned clip. “I didn’t tell him to go loving on a Tranny he couldn’t resist [shrug emoji] like that Bussy.”
Fif was referencing years-old rumors that Buck once had a relationship with a transgender woman.

As of last December, the two former friends were still locked in a legal battle over money that 50 claims Buck owes him.
