As we previously reported, 50 Cent said last week that he expected Young Buck to release some kind of diss track [read here]. We reported & posted Young Buck's "My Interview" [listen here] which was exactly that. On the set of G-Unit's new videos for "Rider Pt 2" and "I Like The Way She Do It," 50 told MTV "I knew he was gonna do that."
50 said "well, Buck, he doesn't think very clear," he added. "He has things to help him not think clear — not using a sober mind when you're doing things. I knew he would do that first, because he felt if he mentioned the things that people said he did in a song, it would defuse [perceptions of him]. He said, 'Yeah, I sip syrup. Yeah, I did this. I did things wrong.' If you say it in the music, [the fans] can accept it, because they had stars prior to this use drugs. They don't have a problem with Amy Winehouse. There is a lot of other rock stars who use drugs and sh-- like that. I don't see how they would feel that that's unacceptable. Some of their favorite rappers are sipping syrup. Me, personally, I don't do it. I'm getting high off the situation of accomplishing my goals."
One fan called ladyrock5 who said "50 Cent is real wack right
now. If your boy had a drug problem, why [are] you in the news using
that against him? If he was really your man, then you would be trying
to help him" 50 Replied by saying "If you got a person — you got a
grown man — that person has to hit rock bottom before he decides that
he actually wants to get help in some way," 50 said. "I'm not gonna
allow myself to hit rock bottom with him while he says that. The same
fan just looks for a reason for something to be wrong with the decision
[to remove Buck from G-Unit]. You got all these people [saying,]
'Where's Buck? Where's Buck?' Why you didn't buy his last album? You
would know where he's at if you bought his last album. You would put
him in a different space and situation."
