Young Buck

At 43 years old, Young Buck has this physical status:

David Darnell Brown (born March 15, 1981), better known as Young Buck on stage, is an American rapper.

As a music executive, he produces Cashville Records and was formerly a member of the hip hop group G-Unit and UTP Playas.

Early life

Brown was born in Nashville, Tennessee. He began rapping at the age of 12. He appeared on Brian "Baby" Williams, co-founder of Cash Money a few years ago.

Personal life

Young Buck was fired several times during a home invasion at his Nashville home in 2000. The assailants were looking for narcotics. As a result of Buck's life-threatening injury, he required a blood transfusion at Vanderbilt Hospital.

Brown applied for Chapter 13 bankruptcy protection in August, 2010, right after an IRS raid on his house. Curtis Jackson (50 Cent) and other groups were set to sue him over the continuing wage dispute, according to his bankruptcy lawyer, who later told The City Paper.

On October 28, 2010, the IRS attempted to auction Young Buck's confiscated home, but his legal counsel filed a motion to stop the selling, while simultaneously re-filing a revised bankruptcy petition against 50 Cent and other parties associated with the G Unit.

Young Buck argued that the raid's studio equipment was "directly related" to his "ability to earn money in order to reorganize the estate." He said that the seizure of property that belonged to his children had "created significant anxiety in the household" and "within the debtor's common law marriage." He told the court that he needed to get back the home of the family's family.

Young Buck's lawyer was able to persuade the court that he would start paying the back taxes due to the fact that he will be selling real estate worth $638,000. Plans for the IRS auction were at least partially suspended at a hearing on October 26, 2010. Young Buck revealed the results by tweeting.

Young Buck's funds were supposed to be sold and distributed among his creditors under Chapter 7.

On July 25 and 26, a public auction was held at the estate that Young Buck owns. Watches, a 50 cent plaque, paintings, a soda machine, his studio equipment, and other things will be auctioned.

Young Buck was shot in a drive-by shooting early Sunday morning on March 4, 2012. According to Nashville police, a white Chevrolet Tahoe crept past the rapper's SUV and opened fire, killing the car 11 times, including a female passenger. Buck, who was back in his hometown to work on new music, was uninjured.

Buck took to Twitter to address the situation after a few days of silence. He tweeted, "We all go through life." "The things I'm hearing are making me a better and Stronger man." "GodisGood" is the product of a GodisGood."

Authorities discovered a.40 caliber Glock 22 as well as ammunition after an IRS raid on Buck's Nashville home in 2010. Following revelations that the rapper had an outstanding $300,000 tax owed, Buck was barred from owning any firearms, as he is a felon. At the 2004 Vibe Awards, he pleaded no contest to assault with a potential to cause bodily harm after stabbed a man.

Buck was sentenced to 18 months in jail on weapons charges on July 13, 2012, a prison term that began on August 6, 2012. Buck had been house arrest with a monitoring bracelet tied around his ankle until then. He served his 18 months in Yazoo City Low Security Federal Prison in Southern Mississippi, and was released on October 1, 2013.

He sent a threatening text to his ex-girlfriend and turned up and kicked her door on July 20, 2016. Buck was arrested on July 21, 2016, for threatening to burn down the ex-girlfriend's apartment. He was released on a $5,000 bond.

Music career

Young Buck joined Cash Money in 1997 but left for Juvenile's UTP in 2000. He released two albums with UTP, Born to Be a Thug and The Compilation, before leaving the label in 2003 to join 50 Cent's record label G-Unit.

His first recording with G-Unit Records was on 50 cents debut studio album get rich or die trying on the song “blood hound”. He also appeared heavily on rap group G-Unit's 2003 album Beg for Mercy. He replaced G-Unit member Tony Yayo who had been jailed on gun possession charges after recording only two songs for the album.

His G-Unit Records debut album Straight Outta Cashville was released on August 24, 2004. The album's title alludes to the N.W.A album Straight Outta Compton and is a neologism for Nashville (his hometown). The album produced three singles: "Let Me In", "Shorty Wanna Ride", and "Look at Me Now". The album received little promotion after November. Young Buck was arrested for assault after the VIBE award incident and wasn't able to promote the album for four months until the case was dropped. The album debuted at number three on the Billboard 200 and has since been certified Platinum by the RIAA. His second solo album Buck The World followed in 2007.

He joined the rest of the label's roster on the 2005 collaboration album Get Rich or Die Tryin'.

In April 2008 he was expelled from the rap group G Unit, remaining with G Unit Records as a solo artist. 50 Cent faulted him for making provocative public statements he would later retract in private, for missing recording sessions, and for drug abuse. Young Buck released a "dis" track insulting 50 Cent and G Unit, 50 Cent responded by releasing a taped phone call in which an emotional Buck was heard crying and asking 50 Cent for help and advice, Buck replied with another "dis" track.

In October he wished to leave G Unit Records but still owed the label two albums and his third album The Rehab was still unreleased. In 2009 he said he still owed one album, The Rehab was released independently in 2010.

In December 2011 he was still under contract to G-Unit Records and about to lose his assets including his stage name in bankruptcy court, having been unable to record since 2008. He claimed he was close to signing with Cash Money; The Tennessean confirmed a proposed deal that would release him from his G-Unit contract and leave him signed to Cash Money. Cash Money Records CEO Birdman though denied that any deal was in the works.

In August 2012, Buck stated in an interview with XXL he was no longer signed to G-Unit Records and he would be a free agent when he is released from prison.

On June 1, 2014, Young Buck was seen at the Summer Jam Concert with 50 Cent, Lloyd Banks, and Tony Yayo. It was confirmed later that the group had reformed, adding Kidd Kidd as a new member. The group released their debut EP The Beauty of Independence on August 25, 2014. Young Buck is again making new music with G-Unit and released his mixtape Before The Beast which contains seven songs featuring Kidd Kidd, Lil Boosie, Tony Yayo, Lloyd Banks and additional artists. After releasing the mixtape, he released G-unit's second EP The Beast Is G-Unit, which sold approximately 20,000 copies in its first week.
