He also points out that his artist has been requesting donations from fans through Cash App. The rapper fears Buck may be hiding money he received from the bankruptcy. Buck claimed 50’s legal threats were preventing him from earning money and “led to his current financial situation.” However, the music mogul says Buck should be blaming himself for his situation.
