Young Bucks talks IRS Raid

Mikey: While current members of the G-Unit crew are off signing new major label deals, the group’s former Southern cohort has been busy going to war with Uncle Sam. Last Tuesday, news broke that IRS agents raided Buck’s Nashville home and seized a majority of his assets and possessions including jewelry, recording equipment, plaques, even his kids’ playstation (that’s cold blooded). Earlier this week, I talked to Buck on recent his tax problems, still being contractually tied to 50 Cent, not speaking to Em or Dr. Dre in years and more. (via VIBE)

The media has been reporting that you still owe $300,000 in back taxes…

I don’t owe no $300,000, they was telling me I only owe them $164,000. And they saying they were trying to create some communication with me for three years. But my accountant was 50 Cent’s accountant, my lawyer was hired through his lawyer, my manager was 50 cent’s best friend.

When’s the last time you actually spoke to Fif?

I’m still stuck contractually. I haven’t spoken to anyone from G-Unit in three years including 50 and I still have albums left over there.

Speaking of Em and Dr. Dre, have you had any kind of communication with them lately?

Dr. Dre is an individual who I wish I heard from at some point in time because his voice in my situation would means a lot. He don’t have to on my side or [50’s] side, but just say something, bro. I even told Game to say “what’s up” to Dre for me, but I haven’t heard anything.
