The very public feud between G-Unit boss Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson and former Unit rapper Young Buck has died down over the passed few weeks. The last installment of the beef included an onstage "F*ck You" from Buck to his former group members, which was shortly followed by a leaked phone conversation in which the ostracized rapper begged 50 to stay in the group. Now Young Buck has reopened the issue and is making claims that the Unit's lack of success can be attibuted to his absence. "At this point, I'm just trying to do what I got to do as a man," Buck said in a recent interview with Buckie Naked Radio. "My departure away from the group ... I'm still signed to this label [and] I'm trying to get away from that situation because we just can't work out. At this point, it's just about me moving forward."
Buck went on to explain why he let his guard down and wept during the converstation that infamous conversation:
"I've always looked at 50 as a big brother, so I've always respected him as a big brother," Buck admits. "The conversation that people was able to get -- that he taped -- was me speaking to 50 from a big brother perspective. I dealt with 50 from the heart, and I looked at him like a big brother.
"At the end of the day, it was a heartfelt conversation from me. I meant everything I said. I was actually going through a situation at the time. He chose to put it out there to kinda discredit me. I think it backfired if you ask me," he continued.
The rapper says that the leaked tape backfired and affected sales of G-Unit's latest release Terminate On Site - which, having sold 102,000 copies in its first week, has been a flop by 50 Cent standards.
"I'm glad to see the fans are still here with me. You put me out the element (G-Unit) bruh, it's kinda rough man. I can't just say that it was me. But at the end of the day, the energy of what was going on between me and 50 Cent, I think definitely played a part," Buck said
While trying to remove himself from his contract with 50's label, Young Buck is working on launching his own independent label, Cashville Records.
