Young Buck is back in the rap spotlight, and this time, it’s personal. The Tennessee rapper has released a diss track targeting Fat Joe after the veteran MC claimed that his crew beat up Buck years ago. The situation has fans in hip hop buzzing, especially after Buck’s clever and humorous responses on social media.
The story began when Fat Joe shared his account of an old confrontation during a Joe and Jada podcast. He claimed that at the height of a past beef with G-Unit, Buck was allegedly attacked after a festival performance in Chicago. Joe even described tossing a water bottle in Buck’s direction and daring him to step up, sparking a viral reaction in the rap community.
Rather than letting the claim go unanswered, Young Buck teased his response on Instagram before releasing a full diss track. He used G Herbo’s “Went Legit” as the instrumental, turning the track into a pointed and entertaining rebuttal that mixes humor with classic rap bravado.

On the two-minute diss, Young Buck goes after both Fat Joe and Jadakiss for their podcast antics. “These rappers need to stop teaming up on these podcasts and making these lil skits,” he raps, critiquing their modern media approach while asserting his place in hip hop culture.
The rapper also denied any real-life attack, addressing Joe’s story directly: “No hands was put on anybody, even though I attempted/I don’t know if this is you, Fat Joe, or the Ozempic.” Buck’s clever wordplay and confident delivery make it clear that he isn’t intimidated and is using rap to settle the narrative his way.
Social media reactions and humor
Before dropping the track, Buck had fun with fans on Instagram, using an AI-generated video to parody the alleged beatdown. “BREAKING NEWS JUST DROPPED,” he wrote. “20 YEARS later and [Young Buck] finally out the ER from that [Fat Joe] 2-piece. STAY TUNED...As This Story Develops. This man a survivor.”
He continued to mock Joe, adding that he is expected to “make a full recovery in 4-6 more decades.” Buck’s approach shows both humor and confidence, blending rap culture’s competitive edge with entertainment that fans of hip hop and rap can enjoy.
