Chelsea Handler said the former couple received 'backlash' at the time.

Handler "casually dated" the G-Unit rapper, also 50, back in the early 2010s. Revealing how the fling began in another recent interview, she shared that he sent her flowers following a guest appearance on her E! talk show Chelsea Lately.
