In an interview with MTV, 50 Cent announced that he is looking for new artists, "You'll see new faces, because I'm looking for new artists now. I'll sign new artists and take them with me and kinda groom them. Some of the stuff you can't teach a person; they gotta have it".

In the years to follow, 50 Cent would continue to struggle to maintain a palatable working relationship with Interscope. In a 2012 interview, he explained the reason for the discord: "The deal I gave them was so well-put-together for them that they were to receive $750,000 in advance on the next albums - each one of the artists. They gotta remove that in this climate of record sales".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.hiphopdx.com/index/news/id.19645/title.50-cent-talks-new-album-explains-why-g-unit-was-dropped-possibility-of-working-with-game|title=50 Cent Talks New Album, Explains Why G-Unit Was Dropped & Possibility Of Working With Game|date=5 May 2012|website=HipHopDX.com|access-date=20 March 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140222025816/http://www.hiphopdx.com/index/news/id.19645/title.50-cent-talks-new-album-explains-why-g-unit-was-dropped-possibility-of-working-with-game|archive-date=22 February 2014|url-status=dead}}</ref>

In April 2012, (after being ousted from the crew in 2008), [[Young Buck]] entered talks to work with the label.

Young Buck's last album was the 2010 independent release, ''[[The Rehab]]''. The negotiations may not lead to a new deal between Young Buck and G-Unit, but the rapper remains optimistic.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://thisbeatgoes.com/hip-hop-news/former-g-unit-records-rapper-young-buck-says-he%E2%80%99s-in-negotiations-with-50-cents-label-once-again/|title=The Beat Goes On|access-date=20 March 2015|url-status=usurped|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120513181051/http://thisbeatgoes.com/hip-hop-news/former-g-unit-records-rapper-young-buck-says-he%E2%80%99s-in-negotiations-with-50-cents-label-once-again/|archive-date=13 May 2012}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.hiphopdx.com/index/news/id.19270/title.young-buck-reveals-renegotiation-with-g-unit|title=Young Buck Reveals Renegotiation With G-Unit|date=4 April 2012|website=HipHopDX.com|access-date=20 March 2015}}</ref>
