50 Cent: Young Buck Is Out of G-Unit

"You can take this as official notice," 50 Cent told New York radio station Hot 97's morning-show hosts, Miss Jones and DJ Envy before announcing that Young Buck is no longer a member of G-Unit crew, but still on the record label as a solo artist.

"I think you have to give them something to blow it out of proportion," 50 said when asked how he felt about Buck's recent comments regarding his status with the crew. "Buck did that. I think that what he was saying, in order to validate himself as a man, he feels he has to go against what I'm doing, similar to some of the things we've seen from Game."

Buck, who'd been M.I.A. on G-Unit mixtapes, spoke out about his diminishing role in the group in a recent interview with XXL magazine. "It's an understanding that we have as a crew," the Nashville rapper told the magazine. "Not just with 50, but as a family. Everybody has had they situations, but everybody handles that s--- a little different. 'Cause we all individual men. For me, it's just about gettin' s--- off my chest and airing the s--- out. But as far as being disloyal to my n-----, it's far from that."
