Thiiiiiiis negro! Just read this....
While current members of the G-Unit crew are off signing new major label deals, the group’s former Southern cohort has been busy going to war with Uncle Sam. Last Tuesday, news broke that IRS agents raided Buck’s Nashville home and seized a majority of his assets and possessions including jewelry, recording equipment, plaques, even his kids’ playstation (that’s cold blooded). Earlier this week, I talked to Buck on recent his tax problems, still being contractually tied to 50 Cent, not speaking to Em or Dr. Dre in years and more.
The media has been reporting that you still owe $300,000 in back taxes…
I don’t owe no $300,000, they was telling me I only owe them $164,000. And they saying they were trying to create some communication with me for three years. But my accountant was 50 Cent’s accountant, my lawyer was hired through his lawyer, my manager was 50 cent’s best friend.
When’s the last time you actually spoke to Fif?
I’m still stuck contractually. I haven’t spoken to anyone from G-Unit in three years including 50 and I still have albums left over there.
Speaking of Em and Dr. Dre, have you had any kind of communication with them lately?
Dr. Dre is an individual who I wish I heard from at some point in time because his voice in my situation would means a lot. He don’t have to on my side or [50’s] side, but just say something, bro. I even told Game to say “what’s up” to Dre for me, but I haven’t heard anything.
How long exactly?
I haven’t received an email or spoken to Dre in three years.
That’s crazy; you put your life and freedom on the line for Dre at one point…
As far as the whole VIBE awards situation, I’m never looking for sympathy. But I haven’t heard from Dr. Dre or Eminem… not to say my situation is any part of their business but at a point in time I was sitting in front of these dudes. And I’m not looking for them to take sides or anything, but it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out what is being done to me from their artist.
[Publicist: “If you write that Buck is dissing Dre, I’ll come find you in New York]
I’m not looking to stir up nothing, I’m just speaking the truth of that situation. But I wish Em and Dre the best of luck in everything. I’m going to be alright regardless, you can’t stop this even if you put the devil in front of me. The people are just now starting to understand my situation. One of the worst things is an individual to know that a person is doing wrong and still stand behind that person. That’s who I fear—the ones that know but are getting theirs anyway with evil. Karma is real.
So have you made any progress in being released from your contract with G-Unit?
Listen, in those three years since I’ve been away from G-Unit, have you once heard 50 Cent say “I want this much for Buck to get out of his contract or anything like that?” No! So that right there should be enough to understand the kind of situation that I’m in. All I need is the support of the people right now. 50’s been on a mission to starve me out.
[Publicist: “Buck can’t discuss any legal details.”]

But my accountant was 50 Cent’s accountant, my lawyer was hired through his lawyer, my manager was 50 cent’s best friend. So once I was actually pushed away from that crew—I had to reconstruct my circle of people that was handling my business, and I ended up catching the backlash of that with this whole tax situation. I’m not trying to blame anyone though, I accept full responsibility, but one plus one equals two.
