50 Cent has gone on to downplay rumors Young Buck and G Unit beefing, more specifically over money. He said that in order for buck to validate himself as a man, he has to go against what 50's doing.
50 and the G Unit crew have been working like crazy on making mixtape tracks and building buzz back up like they used to have when 50 first got signed to Shady/Aftermath. The reason for this is that Interscope did little to help their poorly selling albums, so they are flooding the streets.
The first G Unit mixtape in several years called Return of the Body Snatchers only featured 50 Cent, Lloyd Banks, and Tony Yayo. Apparently the mixtape was recorded entirely in a weekend when Buck was on a separate tour, and wasn't even aware that the new material was being put together.
Recently things appeared to be different, when only the Queens native G Unit members were present during interviews, while their southern counterpart Young Buck was missing from interviews and went on in other interviews to talk about the distancing him and 50 have been doing. In one interview, Young Buck went on to say that he didn't receive a royalty check from G Unit his entire time with them.
50 Cent counters this statement by saying that each G Unit member has earned $10 million during their careers with him (only talking about the artists who actually had album releases). 50 Cent goes on to say that they have seen $10 million through their career, but what they've done with it is not his business.
Also he commented on the speculation of beef between the crew and more specifically between himself and Buck. He says that it isn't as big of a deal as everyone's making it out to be and that their photoshoot for XXL was ordinary and there was no tension.

50 CENT PREVIEWS G UNIT ALBUM AT HIS MANSION...CALLS 'CURTIS' A DUD
According to MTV, 50 Cent was previewing his G Unit album coming out soon for them and he went online recently to say that it was a 'dud' and isn't afraid to admit that. He admits that there were hit records on the album, but the timing was not good for their releases. He suggested that if "I Get Money" came out as the first single, that sales would have increased heavily.
Another place where 50 blames himself is the fact that he didn't build up to the release of Curtis with mixtape tracks to get the streets buzzing. He hadn't released mixtape material like this until after Curtis was released. He says that he took bad advice from Interscope.
50 revealed a track "The Party Ain't Over" featuring all the members of G Unit, which is supposed to "appeal to the inner hooligan" in us. Another track he showed was called "Down" produced by Swizz beats. Another record is called "Liar, Liar" where 50 is telling a girl everything she wants to hear when hes not completely sincere.
50 is excited about his mixtape releases coming up and is resuming taking over the streets from which he took a brief get-away. The news of 50 Cent and DJ Drama's G Unit Gangsta Grillz is coming out on the mixtape circuit to help G Unit get back on the top once more. He goes on to say that creating music hasn't been a problem because everyone was hard working in the studio.
On this album, they have to only come hard on one verse so they ended up writing 3 different verses and using the best ones. Interesting technique, definitely be looking forward to the new G Unit projects dropping soon!

50 CENT AND DJ DRAMA WORKING ON G UNIT GANGSTA GRILLZ
It has been confirmed that 50 Cent and DJ Drama are working together to compile a G Unit Gangsta Grillz mixtape. Drama claims that both him and 50 are monsters in the game and that this mixtape is going to turn out hot. Drama says that 50 said it's about time for G Unit to get hot in the south. A couple weeks after Elephant In The Sand dropped on ThisIs50.com, 50 Cent called up Drama and inquired about starting this new mixtape.
DJ Whoo Kid is also going to be heavily involved on the project, and Drama says we should expect some comedic skits on the mixtape as well.
50 Cent has been busy at work showing his hunger as an artist again with several mixtape releases. This upcoming mixtape just adds to the list and shows 50 Cent isn't done in the rap game yet.

PAPOOSE CLEARS THE RUMORS ON REMA MA ENGAGEMENT, G UNIT AFFILIATION
Papoose has denied rumors of his engagement to Remy Ma. However, he does not deny taht the two "share a friendship". He went on to strictly say they are just friends.
There has been other news coming around, purely speculative however, that 50 Cent is interested in signing Papoose to G Unit. Neither party is denying or confirming the claim as of now. Papoose went on to show his respect and admiration for the whole G Unit camp and what they've built up in the hip hop industry.
He also states that he is currently exploring his options, but has not mentioned who exactly, which leads to the G Unit rumors.
