Young Buck May Have A New Deal

Young Buck has been slightly absent from the charts but not from the music scene all together. He has been doing a lot of work with Drumma Boy releasing mixtapes. He has been struggling financially with the IRS problems and spending problems. He has been in a very publicized beef with 50 Cent about unpaid monies. 50 says Buck isn't owed any money and he needs to manage his money properly. Buck has been trying to survive with his clothing line and Cashville Records but the money still isn't enough. He is currently in negotiation to sign a new deal with Cash Money. However, he is still under contract with G-Unit records. In addition, the IRS woes has also halted him from signing a new contract with Cash Money because of his bankruptcy. If he comes into more money, he'll have to repay the creditors owed. Best of luck Buck.
