50
Cent sparked controversy when he appeared on the "Miss Jones in the Morning"
show on Hot 97 yesterday (Apr. 4) and spoke candidly about his relationship with
various artists on his G-Unit label, confirming that R&B singer Olivia had
been dropped and that other artists on the label may not have his full support.
"I
made sacrifices constantly for the entire G-Unit [roster]. At this point, they
gotta do they thing now. It’s their second album, everybody. If they don’t deliver,
then they don’t actually work," 50 Cent said.50
Cent also revealed that Young Buck, who released his critically acclaimed album
Buck The World on Mar. 27 and moved over 140,000 copies during its first
week, may be out of the G-Unit collective. 50
Cent said that he was considering booting the G-Unit member from the collective,
due to his attempt to make peace with two of 50 Cent’s rap enemies – Jadakiss
and The Game. "In
a prior interview on the Angie Martinez show he [Young Buck] made references to
being his own man and his decisions to try and make friends with people who I
have issues with and I hold him in the same space that I hold Game in," 50
Cent said. "If I got issues with somebody and we down with each other, you
got issues with them. Since then, The Game has released a record and dissed him
again. That just shows you."Prior
to being released from G-Unit, The Game attempted to mend beefs with a variety
of 50 Cent’s detractors, including Jadakiss, Fat Joe and Nas. Due to his
actions, 50 Cent booted The Game from the collective in Mar. of 2005 and sparked
one of the most infamous feuds in Hip-Hop history. Last
month, Young Buck revealed to AllHipHop.com that he and various rappers agreed
not to disrespect each other in their music, as a starting point to ease tensions
in the rap community. Any
agreement between Young Buck and The Game has been shattered since a Mar. 20 incident
involving G-Unit member Tony Yayo and the 14-year-old son of The Game’s manager,
Jimmy "Henchmen" Rosemond, owner of Czar Entertainment. On
the recently released track "Body Bags," The Game disses the entire
G-Unit collective and addresses the incident, in which Yayo allegedly backhanded
the 14-year-old for wearing a Czar Entertainment t-shirt. Yayo
was arrested and charged with misdemeanor assault and will appear in court on
Apr. 25. During
the interview, 50 Cent denied all involvement in the incident involving Rosemond’s
son and claimed the publicity surrounding the assault was an ongoing part of The
Game and Rosemond’s ‘G-Unot’ campaign. "He
didn’t hit the kid," 50 Cent said in defense of Yayo. "I don’t even
know if he was there. It’s the same group that put together the ‘G-Unot’ campaign.
Why would you ban 50 if I am not involved in the actual situation? It’s showing
that it’s from the same camp, with the same intentions. When it comes to civil,
you don’t have to worry about G-Unit. You have to worry about the J-J-J-J-J-Jew
Unit. When the lawyers come out, we gonna see what it is."50
Cent’s manager and Violator CEO Chris Lighty denied that Young Buck was out of
G-Unit and said "it was just a late April fools joke. 50 Cent has a twisted
sense of humor," Lighty said.
