In a recent interview interview with MTV News, 50 Cent says "Buck (Young Buck) is a disappointment for me..."

MTV News caught up with 50 Cent Monday (June 30). 50 continued:

"I treated him like a younger brother. ... He's not a enemy now. He's like a relative that decides to do something to you that you're uncomfortable with, so you don't bring him around you. I don't view Buck as my enemy. If he feels that way about me, those are his personal feelings. I wouldn't be surprised if he felt that [I was his enemy]. He's like my younger brother — even if he sees me in this interview saying it to him — he won't understand. He'll just go on how it feels."

As has been well documented, 50 Cent recently released taped phone conversations where Young Buck can be heard crying to 50 Cent and asking to be kept in the G-Unit crew.

50 explains to MTV News why he released the calls:

"I couldn't tell you the things he told me in that conversation," 50 said, justifying why he taped the talk. "You'd think I'm just being angry. [But] I play you the tape and you get it for yourself so much more vividly."
