===2006β2009=== In 2006, G-Unit Records signed [[Young Hot Rod]].<ref name=DefSounds>Al Capone (October 17, 2007).

DefSounds. Accessed November 29, 2008.</ref> In the same year, in conjunction with [[Mobb Deep]]'s Infamous Records, the label signed both Nyce and [[40 Glocc]]. In 2007, Mazaradi Fox was also added to the label.<ref>Jon Michael (June 6, 2008) [http://www.sixshot.com/articles/11395/ Mazaradi Fox - Soldier's Story] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150924102221/http://www.sixshot.com/articles/11395/ |date=2015-09-24 }} SixShot. Accessed November 29, 2008.</ref> It was also highly anticipated that Detroit rapper, [[Trick Trick]] would sign to the label,<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://24hourhiphop.com/hip+hop+Rumors/Trick+Trick+To+Sign+With+G-Unit%3F/1254/|archive-url=https://archive.today/20070626112319/http://24hourhiphop.com/hip+hop+Rumors/Trick+Trick+To+Sign+With+G-Unit%3F/1254/|url-status=dead|title=Trick Trick to sign with G-Unit?|archive-date=26 June 2007|access-date=23 December 2021}}</ref> though this deal never came to be. In 2008, amidst rumors of a "beef" within G-Unit between 50 Cent and [[Young Buck]], 50 Cent officially expelled Young Buck from the group, though assuring that Buck was still signed with the label.<ref>Aliya Ewing (April 7, 2008) [http://www.hiphopdx.com/index/news/id.6705/title.50-cent-kicks-young-buck-out-of-g-unit-more 50 Cent Kicks Young Buck Out Of G-Unit & More!] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080410220839/http://www.hiphopdx.com/index/news/id.6705/title.50-cent-kicks-young-buck-out-of-g-unit-more |date=2008-04-10 }} HipHopDX. Accessed November 29, 2008.</ref> Numerous slander songs then arose on the internet from both camps, with Young Buck being included on a track with former rival and ex-G-Unit member, Game. 50 Cent then leaked a taped phone conversation between himself and Young Buck, which showed one of the true reasons for the falling out: 50 Cent was owed money by the Southern rapper. Young Buck later stated the conversation had taken place over a year before the leak.<ref>Black Widow (June 19, 2008) [http://www.sixshot.com/news/11534/ Young Buck Responds to Leaked Phone Convo With 50 Cent, 'I Don't Feel No Shame'] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150924102251/http://www.sixshot.com/news/11534/ |date=2015-09-24 }} SixShot. Accessed November 29, 2008.</ref> The two camps have since released a multitude of songs aimed at each other, though the feud seems to have settled down as of late 2008. In late 2009, 50 Cent's fourth album, ''[[Before I Self Destruct]]'', was released; which featured a track entitled "So Disrespectful", which insulted his various rivals including [[Jay-Z]] and former G-Unit Records artists, [[Game (rapper)|Game]] and Young Buck. Also in 2009, 50 Cent would collaborate with former [[Roc-A-Fella Records]] artist [[Beanie Sigel]], which would also lead to speculation that Beanie Sigel was signing to G-Unit Records.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.sohh.com/2009/11/50_cent_puts_beanie_sigelg-unit_signing.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100102194457/http://www.sohh.com/2009/11/50_cent_puts_beanie_sigelg-unit_signing.html|url-status=dead|title=50 Talks Possibly Signing Beanie Sigel|archive-date=2 January 2010|access-date=23 December 2021}}</ref> While promoting ''Before I Self Destruct'', 50 Cent also did a radio interview in which he spoke about the G-Unit Records roster. Within the interview, it was confirmed that Game, Young Buck, [[Spider Loc]] and [[Young Hot Rod]] were still signed to the label, while both [[M.O.P]] and Mobb Deep were no longer signed.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.sohh.com/2009/11/50_cent_released_mobb_deep_from_g-unit_r.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120222053109/http://www.sohh.com/2009/11/50_cent_released_mobb_deep_from_g-unit_r.html|url-status=dead|title=50 Says Game, Buck & More Still Signed To G-Unit|archive-date=22 February 2012|access-date=23 December 2021}}</ref> In the meantime, the label would go on to sign R&B singer, [[Governor (singer)|Governor]] and<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.thisis50.com/profile/GOVERNORMUSIC?xg_source=profiles_memberList|title=OFFICIAL GOVERNOR PAGE's Page|access-date=20 March 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150402104506/http://www.thisis50.com/profile/GOVERNORMUSIC?xg_source=profiles_memberList|archive-date=2 April 2015|url-status=dead|df=dmy-all}}</ref> [[Beanie Sigel]] on November 5, respectively.
