50 Cent has expressed regret over hooking up with Kill Bill actress Vivica A. Fox.
In a typically humorous Instagram post on Sunday (March 24), the G-Unit founder posted an old video of him accepting the award for Best New Artist at the 2003 BET Awards where he made a pass at Fox who was in the audience.

“I’m just happy to be present with all of these beautiful people in here… I want to thank Vivica Fox for wearing that dress too,” he said, prompting a flattered reaction from the actress.
Revisiting the flirtatious moment over 20 years later, 50 said he wishes he would’ve kept his mouth shut given his turbulent relationship with Fox since then.
“I look back at some of the shit that I did I gotta learn to shut the fvck up,” he wrote in the caption. “Look at that look at end that’s trouble. [grinning face emoji] WTF.”

50 Cent and Vivica A. Fox dated for a few months in 2003 before calling time on their brief relationship.
The pair have since exchanged words in public about each other, with Fox previously criticizing Fif for spreading the “angry Black woman” stereotype.
“He just has such fuckboy tendencies,” she said on FOX Soul’s Cocktails With Queens. “When I read that, I was like, ‘Really?’ You would say that because you don’t want anyone to challenge you or talk to you. You want somebody to sit over there and be a pretty little dog that you can just pay. You can’t handle a Black woman, can you?”
Fox was referencing comments that 50 made about Black women on Lil Wayne‘s Young Money Radio where he said: “They get mad. They get angry. You see a lot of sisters go, ‘You fuck with this kind of girl and that kind of girl?’
“That shit is exotic! That shit look a lot different than the shit you see in the neighborhood all of the time. That shit look like it came off a boat.”
50 later responded to Fox’s criticism on Instagram, writing: “Vivica still in love with me, i dated her for 4 months 17 years ago and she’s still angry with me. I’m starting to feel like my [eggplant emoji] is serious. LOL.”
He also mocked here when she starred in Empire: “Don’t miss EMPIRE tonight Vivica old bitter ass is gonna be there.”
Despite their back-and-forths, Vivica A. Fox appears to still hold a candle for the “Candy Shop” hitmaker.
During an interview on SHERRI last year, the 59-year-old was asked if she was open to rekindling their romance, to which she replied: “Why not?”
She also previously called 50 the “love of [her] life” — prompting a sarcastic response from the rapper’s then girlfriend Jamira “Cuban Link” Haines.
