When 50 Cent blamed the second season’s ratings dip on “gay stuff,” it was quite the eyebrow-raiser. Let’s start with the obvious irony here—it’s like the pot calling the kettle black. So, are we saying 50 Cent is…? Absolutely! I can’t forget that Vibe cover with him and Soulja Boy that made everyone wonder, “What’s going on here?”
Vivica Fox is now stirring the pot, accusing 50 Cent of being secretly gay. It’s no secret that 50 and Vivica have despised each other since their breakup over 20 years ago, but this latest accusation has reignited their feud. Vivica claims 50 Cent is actually gay, which is pretty shocking given his reputation for exposing and mocking other rappers he thinks are secretly gay, calling them “zesty.” According to Vivica, the reason 50 Cent can’t stop talking about it is that he’s secretly one of them, and she says she has proof to back it up.
Naturally, 50 Cent isn’t taking this lying down and has fired back at Vivica for trying to out him. This drama is heating up, and you definitely want to stay tuned for the latest in this messy saga.
But he’s a swish, which is why he’s always calling out others for being one. Birds of a feather flock together, after all. Game recognizes game. There’s no way he knows so much about homosexual dealings in the industry and constantly calls people out without having seen it firsthand.
I don’t know what’s been going on between 50 Cent and his ex, Vivica Fox, but they’re at it again, dragging each other through the mud. It’s been 21 years since they broke up, but they still act like they split on terrible terms just last week. Maybe it has something to do with 50 Cent publicly dumping her on a radio show just 8 months into their relationship. They dated for 8 months, and she’s still upset 21 years later? But you know what they say: hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.
In 2003, an unexpected romance began between rapper 50 Cent and actress Vivica Fox, surprising everyone who knew them. They were complete opposites, but as the saying goes, opposites attract. The first hint of their budding relationship came at the BET Awards when 50 Cent made a comment about Vivica’s dress during his speech: “You know, I want to thank Vivica Fox for wearing that dress.” The crowd applauded, and it was clear Vivica was beaming, perhaps hinting at something more. Some say that was the moment she fell for him because she was visibly swooning.
Before long, they started dating, making their public debut at the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards, walking the red carpet hand in hand. Fans had been speculating, and this confirmed their suspicions. Their relationship became the hottest topic, much like their careers at the time. In the early 2000s, 50 Cent was one of the top rappers, having just released his album “Get Rich or Die Tryin’,” which sold a staggering 12 million copies worldwide. Vivica Fox was also at the peak of her career, starring in major movies like “Independence Day,” “Set It Off,” “Soul Food,” “Two Can Play That Game,” and “Kill Bill.”
For eight intense months, 50 Cent and Vivica Fox were one of the industry’s power couples, capturing the attention of fans and the media alike.
Vivica and 50 Cent were constantly in the spotlight, but she didn’t mind because she was completely in love with him. “He filled my entire house with my favorite flowers, Casablancas and gardenias,” she recalled. “He’s incredibly romantic and like a big teddy bear. I know that side of him – he’s very sweet, very kind, and gives the best hugs.”
50 Cent seemed to be just as smitten, even planning to propose. When asked if he loved her, Vivica said, “Very much. It haunted me for so long because I found out later that he wanted to propose to me.”
But what was supposed to be a 12-carat engagement ring turned into a pair of earrings after Vivica upset 50, causing him to change his mind about proposing. Their relationship fell apart as quickly as it started, with many issues contributing to the breakup. The lack of privacy and going public too soon were major problems. They were everywhere, and everyone was involved in their business.
The age gap also played a role; Vivica was 38, and 50 Cent was 27. Vivica said his immaturity showed. If you think 50 can be immature now at 48, imagine how he was at 27. He even talked to everyone about their love life, which really bothered Vivica. Who wants their intimate moments shared with the world? Certainly not Vivica.
Oh man, my love life is great. The first time Viv gives you the go-ahead and says she’s going to get naked in your bed, is it awesome? “Yeah, it’s exciting.” Are you able to hold out a long time? “No, no, no.” Is she loud in bed? Does she make a lot of noise? “She makes a lot of noise.”
It seemed like 50 Cent felt he was losing his tough guy image, leading him to break up with Vivica. However, he didn’t do it face to face; instead, Vivica found out she had been dumped through a radio show. “I guess he went on his European tour, and at that point, the relationship started to devolve. The relationship broke up after the World Music Awards. I came back and he was on the radio saying he dumped me.” You found out on the radio? “Yeah, my friend called me. I was in Baltimore filming ‘The Salon,’ and my friend, stylist Daryl Brown, called me and said, ‘Yo, your boy’s on the radio blasting you.’ First I went, ‘Who?’ and he was like, ’50 Cent.’ I was like, ‘Curtis?’ He was like, ‘Yeah, telling everybody you guys broke up,’ and I was like, ‘We did, huh?'” So he never personally said it? “He said it on the radio, huh? Yeah, but when I look back at it now, you know, he went back to being that tough guy ’cause you know we really loved each other a lot at the time.”
He embarrassed Vivica in front of the whole world by telling everybody he didn’t even officially break up with her, he just stopped calling, ghosted her. But if that wasn’t bad enough, he went on and on about how she was only using him for publicity, which is wild because we saw him make the first move on her. Did she dump you or did you dump her? “Be honest. I ain’t calling no more.” Oh really, just stop calling? “Really, what happened? She told you to stop calling? Nah, I just stopped calling. I felt like her people were taking advantage of the situation as far as her publicity.” They were using you for publicity? “Good for you.” No, it couldn’t have been using me for publicity because then, you know, we wouldn’t have been together intimately. But why did you think her people were…what were her people doing? At the end of the day, they just couldn’t handle all the publicity and attention that their relationship was getting.
Vivica A. Fox Reflects on Public Relationship with 50 Cent: ‘We Went Public Too Fast’
“The main thing that killed the relationship was that we just went way too public way too fast. It was a huge learning lesson for me,” Vivica shared openly. “It was the first time I went public with a relationship when I should have taken the time to get to know him better.”
Vivica couldn’t stay silent about 50 Cent’s claims that she used him for publicity. She wanted to set the record straight. “The relationship didn’t work out, but the press coverage lasted a lot longer. Why do they always vilify the woman? When I read that stuff, it was so ridiculous,” she said. “It wasn’t the press, it was him. He claimed I was exploiting him for publicity, which was so not true. I was about to be in a film with award-winning actors and I’ve been acting for years. But I just considered that ‘ghetto love.’ That was his way of dealing with it.”
Even after their breakup, 50 Cent continued to be petty, dissing Vivica in his songs like “Get In My Car.” In the song, he rapped, “My game f with the diva until she thinks she wifey, spend her life savings in a day ’cause she likes me, commitment from me? H, nah, not likely. When out with Vivica, I thought I was on to something, but then the next week, nah man, it was nothing.”
Vivica found the song heartbreaking and humiliating. “Trust me, it was awful to hear that song or the game rapping about me on the radio. He was his artist at the time. It broke my heart, but I still loved him,” she admitted.
A couple of months later, he reached out to her, claiming he had turned over a new leaf and wanted to fix things. He even asked her to be in his music video, suggesting they let bygones be bygones and move forward. “How did you guys make up? Who called who?” “I called her,” he said. “You did? That’s so sweet. What did you say?” “I told her, ‘You have to stop fighting me and get in my video.'” She was surprised he reached out. “Yeah, and are you friends now?” “Yes.” “Would you ever date her again?” “Well, the song is about relationships that don’t work. When I explained it to her, it intensified the song’s meaning, given the public’s perception of us.” “Meaning you’re not going to date her anymore?” “No, not.”
When it comes to 50 Cent, everyone knows he can never stay out of trouble and is the King of Petty. He’s a professional troll, constantly mocking people on social media like it’s a full-time job. He and Vivica were on good terms for a brief moment after his apology, but 50 Cent, unsurprisingly, ruined it. The drama began when he made a controversial comment about the hit show “Empire,” which Vivica was starring in at the time. The show’s popularity had started to decline, and when asked why, 50 Cent attributed it to “too much gay stuff,” claiming it turned viewers off. He remarked, “There are 3 million fewer viewers who tuned in to last night’s ‘Empire’ episode. Did you watch it? We couldn’t take the extra gay stuff or celebrity stuff.” Despite being dragged for this, he defended himself, saying, “It must be a slow news week. They’re going to say, ’50 Cent, Empire lost 3 million viewers because of too much gay ish.’ He only said, ‘Cookie, call me,’ but the kid is going to mess up the show. Now everyone is waiting for ‘Power.’ I told him to lay low.”
Vivica wasn’t about to let that slide. She clapped back at 50 Cent, revealing his own secret and hinting that he had something going on with Soulja Boy behind the scenes. “What were your thoughts when 50 Cent blamed the second season ratings dip on gay stuff?” she asked. “First of all, you know, uh, the pot calling the kettle black is all I’m saying.” The pot calling the kettle black, huh? She revealed that 50’s strong reaction was because he was protecting her friends who worked on “Empire” and were being disrespected by him.
In an interview with People magazine, she said, “I voiced my opinion, but I’m the kind of person who believes if you don’t stand for something, you’ll fall for anything. I was just really, really sick and tired of hearing the BS about ‘Empire,’ especially about the gay storyline. And I’m not going to take it back because Lee Daniels, Taraji, and Terrence Howard are very good friends of mine, and they are my co-stars. And I’m a stand-up kind of babe, so I stood up for them, and I don’t regret it whatsoever.”
Her words put 50 and Soulja Boy on the defensive. They accused her of chasing clout. Soulja Boy wrote, “Everyone hit up this cougar. She’s single and ready to mingle. 1800 Granny desperate for attention. #I’mWashedUp.” 50 Cent also reposted Soulja’s comment, claiming the reason Vivica thinks he’s gay is that he let her lick his behind when they were dating. He wrote, “Oh no, now she thinks I’m gay ’cause I let her lick my ass. Wait, I didn’t want her to, she forced me, and my hands were tied. 50 Shades of Gray.”
Vivica continued the fight, posting a never-before-seen photo of 50 wearing makeup with the caption, “Tell you what, 50 Cent, since you keep on telling that lie, I challenge you to go on Bravo’s ‘Watch What Happens Live’ with me, and we can put this to rest. That never happened, and you know it, queen.”
Talk about some messy tea! Apparently, Soulja Boy ended up catching strays from Vivica, but it wasn’t the first time people had speculated that Soulja was involved with 50 Cent. Allegedly, Soulja was getting dragged, and Vivica defended him despite his insults. She tweeted, “Let me say this, I wasn’t speaking about Soulja Boy, only my ex and his antics. I apologize for that to Soulja Boy.”
Rumors of 50 Cent and Soulja Boy: The Buzz That Never Dies
Rumors about 50 Cent and Soulja Boy have been floating around for years. These whispers started back in 2010 when they appeared on the cover of XXL magazine. People couldn’t stop talking about how vibrant and fun they looked. The photo shoot had a certain vibe that got everyone speculating.
Around the same time, 50 Cent was embroiled in a heated feud with Vivica A. Fox that lasted nearly two years. They eventually patched things up and even worked together again, but it didn’t last. The drama flared up once more when Vivica published her book “Every Day I’m Hustling,” where she talked about their intimate moments. This didn’t sit well with 50 Cent, who was annoyed that she was still discussing their relationship years later.
Vivica’s claim that she often had to initiate intimacy sparked more rumors about 50 Cent’s private life. Some speculated that he might be on the down-low (DL), especially since he was a young rapper at the time, known for a lifestyle full of drama and multiple relationships. This idea was fueled by 50 Cent’s own outspoken stance against gay people in the industry, frequently targeting figures like Diddy.
50 Cent has a history of throwing shade at Diddy, accusing him of being on the DL. He even made comments from his hospital bed, showing how dedicated he was to their feud. In interviews, he’s suggested that Diddy’s behavior was “fruity” and recounted an uncomfortable moment when Diddy offered to take him shopping at a wedding, which 50 found suspicious.
All these incidents kept the rumor mill churning, as people wondered why Diddy would make such an offer if he thought 50 was straight. Some believe Diddy might have heard the same rumors about 50 Cent, which could explain his behavior.
