Young Buck has apparently regained his freedom as an artist.  Rapbasement.com is citing a source who says the emcee has been released from 50 Cent’s G-Unit label.  While not confirming the speculation, Buck did release a tweet that reads, quote, “The official announcement coming soon!”  Young Buck released two albums while he was with G-Unit.  But G-Unit General 50 Cent dismissed Buck from the group in 2008 for allegedly being disloyal.  Young Buck has since accused 50 Cent of trying to harm his career by preventing him from working with other artists.  He previously told the “Nashville Scene,” quote, “The problem is, I go to be a feature on their hit record, and then they have to go to 50 Cent to clear me on the record, and he says, ‘No.’  And they’re looking like, ‘Well, damn’ — cause if it wasn’t for that I would probably be on every record that’s out right now, cause everybody and their mama reaches out and gives me support.”

Young Buck’s last release was 2007’s “Buck The World.”  The record opened at number three on the Billboard 200 with first week sales of more than 141-thousand.
