Vivica A. Fox is putting it all out there in her new book, Every Day I'm Hustling, and that means nothing is off limits, not even her ex 50 Cent. Throughout her relationship with the rapper [1], which took place in 2003, and for many years after, Vivica has had a somewhat complicated relationship with 50 Cent. Now, she's talking about him in her book . . . and he's not happy about it.
In case you didn't know, Vivica once insinuated that her ex was gay [2] (while talking to Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live!), to which 50 Cent replied by posting unflattering photos of her. Despite telling Wendy Williams in early 2017 that the feud was squashed [3], the past drama between these two could be why many fans have been so interested to read the actress's upcoming book [4]. In fact, before its release, the Independence Day actress chatted with Entertainment Weekly about what you can expect in the pages of this book, and yes, 50 Cent is a topic [5].
"Yes. As a matter of fact, I'm going to be on 50 Cent's new show on BET, 50 Central. I'm making an appearance in this hilarious skit about us going to couple's therapy," Vivica told EW back in 2017 when asked if her beef was done with her former flame and if he'd make an appearance in the book. "I know everyone's freaking out about it. They're like, 'what, you're in the same room?' It just goes to show how . . . in the end, you can be friends! I will always have a tremendous amount of respect for him."
"He'll always have a special place in my heart [but] I don't want you to get that twisted: He's not my entire book," she explained. "It's about going through relationships, and one of my relationships is with him. I'm not [writing] the 50 Cent/Vivica Fox Love Story."
Although Vivica said the book wouldn't be all about their love story, it does include a few tidbits about her former lover [6], and according to the New York Daily News, the details are very juicy [7]. Here's what we know:
- Sex was her thing, not his. In the book, Vivica describes the couple's sex life as "cherished and special," although she notes their sessions were PG-13 rated, and when they did have sex, it was mostly because she wanted to and took control to make it happen. "Most of the time, I would be the one initiating sex, because I really enjoyed making love with him," she wrote.
- They were almost engaged. Vivica also talks about the fact that she discovered that 50 Cent was once ready to propose to her, but he called it off before getting down on one knee. Why, you ask? Because according to the Kill Bill: Vol. 1 star, she "hogged the spotlight" because she sang at the event the two were at in Monaco, and therefore he didn't pop the question.
On Monday, 50 Cent screenshotted an article about the book, captioning: "I'm waking up to this sh*t, that was 14 years ago . . smh who does this? What the f*ck!"
👀I'm waking up to this shit, that was14 years ago. 🤦♂️smh who does this? What the fuck!🤨 [8]
Though Vivica may think everything is on the up and up, 50 Cent may not be on the same page.
