Just yesterday (August 31) XXLMag.com reported that David “Young Buck” Brown had filed for bankruptcy, and now it looks as if the Nashville rapper is looking for a payday from his former boss, label and business associates.

Buck’s lawyer Lynda Jones revealed to the Nashville City Paper that they are planning a lawsuit against Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, G-Unit Records and ex-business manager Bruce Seckendorf.

"Mr. Brown intends to reorganize his debts and pay off the IRS in a timely manner through Chapter 13,” she said. “We hope to secure the return of his personal property quickly. He will also be filing a lawsuit in the next 30-60 days against his former manager, G-Unit label and Mr. Curtis Jackson.”

While it is uncertain for what exact amount Buck is planning to sue for, when filing for bankruptcy, the Tenn-A-Key MC cited as a $5 million contingent, his claim against Fif, G-Unit and Seckendorf.

In an interview with XXLMag.com yesterday Jones said that she believes Fif's business practices against Buck were unlawful. “Mr. Brown’s attorneys believe Mr. Jackson breached contract [with Young Buck] and the duty of good faith and fair duty,” she said.

To further explain her point, Jones used an analogy: “[If] you are contractually obligated to teach someone how to swim...then you are giving a swimming lesson [and] you hold the person’s head underwater, you’ve breached that contract.”

When contacted by XXL to speak on the case, reps for G-Unit declined to comment.

Buck is expected to appear in court on September 21, pertaining to his bankruptcy proceedings.
