50 Cent fires back at Vivica A. Fox after she implied he was gay

SAY WHAT?!: Vivica A. Fox Implies That 50 Cent Is Gay On ‘WWHL’

Vivica A. Fox may not be over her breakup with ex-boyfriend 50 Cent. The veteran actress and singer alongside reality star, Kandi Burruss appeared on Sunday, November 8, 2015’s episode of Watch What Happens Live with host Andy Cohen.

During the interview, Andy brought up 50’s comments about Fox’s hit TV show Empire‘s dwindling ratings, which 50 said was due to “too much gay stuff.”Vivica, who dated 50 Cent from 2003 to late 2004, stated that it was like calling the kettle black saying:

“He just seems like he’s just got something that’s not so clear.”

She went on to reference 50‘s XXLmagazine, where he was a little too close to then new rapper Soulja Boy, saying that 50 Cent looked like a booty snatcher:

In an earlier interview with Madam Noire, Fox had opened up about her romantic relationship with 50 Cent, explaining:

"Even though he is absolutely the love of my life, dating 50 Cent was difficult. I really, really cared for him. I loved him very much and I always will, but he just wasn’t right for me. And that’s hard when you really, really love a person in your heart and you want to be with them, but you finally have to say, ‘He’s just not right for me.’ I wish him the best. He is amazing, and baby, he fine, but to just know that if you love someone, to just know that they’re not right for you. Sometimes love ain’t always right. The heart wants what it wants, but sometimes it’s just not right."
