American actress and entrepreneur Vivica A. Fox has advised women across the world not to date 50 Cent or other rappers.
Speaking at the Ultimate Women’s Expo in Edison, New Jersey, over the weekend, Fox was asked a question from an audience member about chasing their dreams.
She did not hold back about her thoughts on how relationships can affect a person’s overall state and said, “Don’t date 50 Cent, don’t date no damn rappers,” Fox advised as the crowd began clamoring.

She then shrugged her shoulders and continued, “Facts! … Just so you know, it took me years to be able to laugh about it. I had to learn to laugh not to cry no more, but I did it.”

It didn’t take long for 50 Cent to respond to his former girlfriend on Instagram after her moment went viral on social media. “Either way I’m a have that ass in the matrix, you know I love me some you girl, but Damn it’s been 22 years Vivica. @50centaction,” he wrote.
Back in 2003, Vivica Fox dated 50 Cent for a few months after the BET Awards and they went on to attend the MTV Video Music Awards together that same year.
After only three months of dating, the two called it quits and have gotten into a number of public disputes since then.
Fox appeared in the 2009 music video for Fifty’s “Do You Think About Me,” but the two have had their issues in the media over the years.
Meanwhile, 50 Cent didn’t miss the chance to stir the pot, as he posted on Instagram early Monday to troll Jim Jones after Max B’s prison release.
