50 Cent announced that Young Buck was no longer part of G-Unit on Monday, April 7, 2008. This ends months of speculation, although Buck is still signed as a solo artist.

"You can take this as official notice," Fif told New York radio station Hot 97's morning-show hosts, DJ Envy, Miss Jones and Michael Shawn. Then he broke the news.

 

"You can look at that and see that's Game all the way," he said, comparing Buck's actions in recent months — which included speaking out about friction within the ranks — to those of another former G-Unit member. "I was giving him the benefit of the doubt then." Game began freewheeling with his comments and relationships with other rappers much to the dismay of Fif, and the Compton rapper was famously booted from G-Unit in 2005.

At this point in his career Buck has made a big name for himself and I can't say it's surprising that he's parting ways with G-Unit. [MTV]
