Nearly two decades after their whirlwind romance, 50 Cent and Vivica A. Fox are back in the headlines — this time for a playful social media exchange that sent fans into a frenzy.
During her appearance at the Ultimate Women’s Expo in New Jersey, Fox was asked what advice she’d give her 17-year-old self. Without missing a beat, she replied:
“Don’t date 50 Cent. Don’t date no damn rappers.”
The audience burst into laughter, and the Empire actress, now 60, smiled as she reflected on her past relationship with the Get Rich or Die Tryin’ rapper.
“It took me years to be able to laugh about it,” she admitted. “I had to learn to laugh not to cry no more. But I did it.”
Her candid confession quickly went viral, prompting her ex-boyfriend to respond in classic 50 Cent fashion.
On November 10, 2025, he shared an AI-generated image of himself as Morpheus from The Matrix — complete with the red and blue pills — and captioned it:
“Either way I’ma have that ass in the matrix. You know I love me some you girl, but damn it’s been 22 years, Vivica.”
The post instantly blew up online, earning thousands of likes and comments. Fans praised 50 for his trademark humor and ability to keep things lighthearted, even when revisiting one of his most famous relationships.
While Fox’s comments reflected growth and emotional closure, 50’s response leaned into nostalgia and his signature trolling wit. Together, their brief back-and-forth reminded fans of the fiery chemistry that once made them one of pop culture’s most talked-about couples.
The pair’s relationship began in 2003, after Fox presented 50 Cent with the Best New Artist Award at the BET Awards. Though their romance lasted less than a year, it’s remained a favorite topic of conversation in hip-hop and entertainment circles for over two decades.
Both have revisited their past several times in interviews and online — sometimes with tension, but this time, with laughter.
Their latest exchange shows that while time may have passed, the spark of their iconic dynamic still lingers — this time, without the drama.
