The Past Comes Back Again
Rapper and TV mogul 50 Cent is back in the headlines not for his business moves or music but for once again revisiting his infamous early 2000s romance with actress Vivica A. Fox.
The back and forth began after Vivica appeared on a recent talk show and advised women, especially those in Hollywood, to “never date a rapper” adding a pointed reference to her brief but highly publicized relationship with 50 Cent.
When asked about her experience, Vivica laughed and said:
“I’ve learned my lesson. Don’t date him or any rapper for that matter.”
It didn’t take long for 50 Cent, known for his sharp tongue and viral comebacks, to respond in classic 50 fashion.
Taking to Instagram, the rapper posted a clip from her interview with the caption:
“You know I love me some you, girl, but damn, it’s been 22 years, Vivica.”
Within hours, the post went viral, igniting nostalgia, laughter, and endless memes across social media.
A Love Story That Burned Bright and Fast
For those who don’t remember, 50 Cent and Vivica A. Fox dated briefly in 2003, during the peak of both of their careers.
50 was riding high off the success of his debut album Get Rich or Die Tryin’, while Vivica was fresh off blockbuster films like Two Can Play That Game and Kill Bill: Volume 1.
Their relationship began after Vivica attended the BET Awards, where 50 publicly thanked her during his acceptance speech the moment that kicked off one of the most talked about flings in early 2000s pop culture.
“It was chemistry, instant attraction,” Vivica once told VladTV. “We were both stars in our own right, and maybe that was too much fire at once.”
But that fire burned out quickly. Within just four months, the couple had split amid rumors, interviews, and public shade that stretched over years.
The Drama That Never Fully Ended
Even though decades have passed, their names continue to appear together in interviews and headlines a testament to how public and memorable their relationship was.
Vivica, now 61, has spoken candidly about their time together on multiple platforms, calling 50 Cent “the love of her life” in one 2015 interview a statement that reignited public fascination.
50 Cent’s reaction back then? A mix of humor and disbelief. He responded on Instagram, saying:
“I’m never bothered by what Vivica says… but she needs to let it go.”
Now, 10 years later, fans are seeing a similar pattern Vivica speaks, and 50 jokes back, turning it into another viral internet moment.
50 Cent’s Response Classic Humor, No Hard Feelings
In his latest response, 50 Cent didn’t appear angry or defensive just amused.
Fans quickly noted that his tone was lighthearted, even flirtatious. His “You know I love me some you, girl” line sparked speculation that the two may have finally buried the hatchet.
“50 ain’t mad he’s laughing,” wrote one user on X.
“He’ll always have love for Vivica; he just can’t resist clowning a little.”
It’s worth noting that 50 Cent, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, has long mastered the art of turning public feuds into viral content whether it’s with Ja Rule, Diddy, or now, once again, Vivica Fox.
Social Media Reacts: “The Most Entertaining Exes Ever”
As expected, social media exploded with reactions. Fans joked that 50 and Vivica are the exes who just can’t quit each other even decades later.
“These two could have their own reality show at this point,” one fan wrote.
“It’s 2025 and they’re still in the same conversation iconic,” another posted.
Some users even began sharing throwback clips of the pair from the early 2000s, captioning them “the golden age of hip hop love stories.”
Others took Vivica’s side, agreeing with her advice about avoiding rappers altogether.
“She’s not lying. She lived it,” one user commented. “Let her warn the next generation.”
Where They Both Are Now
Both stars have moved on professionally and personally.
50 Cent, now 50 years old, has evolved from rap icon to full blown media mogul, producing hit TV shows like Power, BMF, and Raising Kanan under his G Unit Films banner. He’s also been in a long term relationship with model and entrepreneur Jamira “Cuban Link” Haines.
Vivica A. Fox, on the other hand, continues to thrive as an actress, director, and producer. She’s hosted talk shows, starred in countless films, and even launched her own line of hair products.
While both seem to have found peace and success, the lingering chemistry between them or at least the media’s obsession with it just won’t fade.
Vivica’s Final Word (For Now)
Shortly after 50’s response went viral, Vivica seemed unbothered.
She reposted a fan comment that said, “At least she’s still unforgettable,” with a laughing emoji a move that only added fuel to the internet’s curiosity.
“I’ll always have love for 50. He was my man and it was real. But that was 22 years ago. Let’s move on,” Vivica told a reporter outside a Hollywood event.
Final Thoughts: The Unbreakable Connection
Whether it’s nostalgia, unresolved chemistry, or just good old fashioned banter, 50 Cent and Vivica A. Fox’s connection refuses to fade from public memory.
For fans, their story is a mix of humor, heartbreak, and timeless celebrity drama the kind of love story that feels like it belongs in a 2000s time capsule.
“It’s rare that an old flame still trends after 20 years,” one entertainment blogger wrote.
“But then again, nothing about 50 and Vivica was ever ordinary.”
