At last month’s Chicago Ultimate Women’s Expo, Fox was asked about advice she would offer her younger self. She candidly replied, "Don't date 50 Cent and don't date no d--- rappers!"
In response, 50 Cent posted an A.I.-generated picture of himself as Morpheus from The Matrix, holding both a red pill and a blue pill.
He captioned it, "Either way I'm a have that a-- in the matrix. You know I love me some you, girl. But d--- it's been 22 years Vivica."
Vivica Fox joked about avoiding rappers when asked for advice to her younger self.
Fox expressed her appreciation for his response, which Shepherd found amusing as well. "I'd like to get me a half a dollar!" she quipped, adding a touch of humor to the situation.
“What happened is they [the Ultimate Women’s panel host] said, ‘Vivica, if you could tell your 17-year-old self anything [what would it be]?’ So that was me [being] like, ‘I wish I knew, you know, not to go public [with a relationship] so fast. Not to have it out there. Not to have the breakup that’s lasted 22 years,’ you know?” the TV host asked during the episode.
“We’re no longer fighting, y’all … You know you got that one [person] that you always got a little special place for … We are in a good place,” Fox replied.
Fox later said she has no ill will toward her ex.
“Well, to be honest with you, it's kind of like the gift that keeps on giving,” she told People. “We're friends. There's no negativity.”
“And we'll always be connected … I call us like the black Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton,” she continued, referencing Taylor and Burton’s on-again, off-again romance.
