50 Cent Claps Back Again — Young Buck’s Mugshot Becomes His Latest Punchline

The king of internet trolling strikes again — and this time, it’s personal (again). 50 Cent, never one to miss a moment for a viral jab, has reignited his long-standing feud with former G-Unit member Young Buck in classic fashion: by turning Buck’s recent mugshot into meme gold.

The mugshot in question began circulating late last week, reportedly connected to a minor legal issue involving Buck. While the internet was still trying to verify the details, 50 Cent swooped in like only he can, reposting the image with a caption that sent shockwaves through hip-hop timelines:

"Somebody tell Buck this ain’t the G-Unit reunion we meant. #MugshotMonday"

For those unfamiliar with their rocky history, Young Buck and 50 were once brothers-in-arms under the G-Unit banner in the early 2000s. Together, they helped define an era of street anthems and platinum hits. But behind the scenes, things weren’t so smooth. Contract disputes, emotional interviews, and a whole lot of back-and-forth led to a brutal fallout that’s spanned over a decade. And despite occasional attempts to mend fences, it seems like old habits — and old beefs — die hard.

What makes this latest jab sting a little more is the timing. Young Buck has been working to rebuild his career and image in recent years, stepping out with independent releases and reconnecting with fans. But this mugshot moment has now gone viral — and 50 Cent’s post just amplified it tenfold.

Fans are split. Some are laughing it off, saying it’s just “50 being 50.” Others are calling for the mogul to chill, especially since Buck’s facing real-life struggles that don’t need to be made into punchlines. But if history tells us anything, 50 doesn’t back down — and he doesn’t really do “off-limits.”

Still, there’s a deeper story here. Beneath the jokes and jabs lies a bigger question: when does trolling cross the line into kicking someone while they’re down? And does the hip-hop community still have room for healing when old wounds are used for clout?

Whether you’re laughing or cringing, one thing’s for sure — the drama between 50 and Buck is still very much alive. And in the world of hip-hop, sometimes the story off the mic is just as loud as the one on it.
