BBL Vivy vs. Petty 50: The Messiest Hollywood Beef That Just Won’t Die

It has been over 20 years since Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson and Vivica A. Fox called it quits, but you wouldn’t know it judging by their antics. If history has taught us anything, it’s that when these two collide, shade flies, secrets leak, and the internet eats it all up like popcorn at a Tyler Perry premiere. The latest installment of their never-ending drama? 50 Cent trolling Vivica over her rumored BBL at almost 60—and Vivica clapping back with claims that would send most men straight into hiding.

This isn’t just a celebrity squabble; it’s a saga. A soap opera without an off button. A tale of love gone wrong, pride gone toxic, and two people who clearly just cannot quit each other—even if their entire reputations get dragged in the process.

The Spark: Vivica’s “New Body” Goes Public

Vivica A. Fox is 60, successful, and unbothered—or at least she was until she popped out at a Houston meet-and-greet for her hair brand with what appeared to be a freshly sculpted body. Social media nearly collapsed under the weight of the chatter.

A 60-year-old with a BBL? That’s not exactly the everyday Hollywood headline. Sure, people get facelifts, a nip here, a tuck there, but a full-on Brazilian butt lift at retirement age? That had the streets talking. Comments poured in ranging from praise (“Sis still looks good at 61!”) to judgment (“Our elders don’t know how to elder anymore”).

Naturally, when Vivica trends, 50 Cent is never far behind. He couldn’t resist.

At first, he played coy, dropping comments that made fans think he was flirting again: “Wait, let me see… who said I was spinning the block, man. I ain’t gonna lie, that booty was good though.”

For a brief second, the world thought 50 might still have a soft spot for Vivy. Maybe old flames really do burn eternal. But then, in classic 50 fashion, the trolling began.

Petty Curtis Emerges

50 Cent pulled out the receipts—or at least the kind of messy, selective receipts that trolls thrive on. He posted a side-by-side of Vivica: one clip where her body looked “different” under harsh lighting, followed by a photoshopped Instagram glam shot. The implication? Vivica’s new body was botched, and she was faking perfection online.

It was calculated cruelty, the type of “joke” that leaves its target bleeding. Everyone knows celebrities edit their photos, but 50 knew how to twist the knife just enough to make Vivica the butt of the internet’s joke.

But here’s the thing: Vivica Fox is not, and has never been, the type to sit back quietly when a man tries her. Especially not when that man is her infamous ex.

Vivica’s Clapback: “DL Energy”

Vivica wasted no time. Instead of shrinking from the mockery, she snapped back with claims that were as bold as they were messy. She insinuated that 50 Cent, Mr. “I’m the ultimate tough guy,” might just be on the down-low.

“The pot calling the kettle black,” she teased during a live interview, hinting that his constant homophobic jabs and obsession with “too much gay stuff” on TV shows said more about him than anyone else. She even referenced that infamous Vibe magazine cover with 50 and Soulja Boy, saying it made her “go hmm.”

That wasn’t shade—that was a full eclipse.

50, of course, didn’t take it lying down. He shot back in the most 50 Cent way possible, claiming Vivica only thought he was gay because he once let her experiment in the bedroom: “Oh no, now she thinks I’m gay ‘cause I let her lick my ass. Wait, I didn’t want her to. She forced me and my hands were tied 50 Shades of Grey.”

Mess. Pure mess.

A Love Story Turned Petty War

To understand why this beef refuses to die, you have to go back to the beginning.

In 2003, 50 Cent was at the height of his fame, fresh off Get Rich or Die Tryin’ selling 12 million copies worldwide. Vivica was a Hollywood darling, beloved for Set It Off, Kill Bill, and Two Can Play That Game. They met, sparks flew, and suddenly one of hip-hop’s biggest stars was on the red carpet holding hands with one of Hollywood’s most glamorous actresses.

For a brief time, they were relationship goals. 50 was romantic, showering Vivica with flowers and gifts. Vivica was glowing, energized by her younger man. He even allegedly planned to propose. But what could’ve been a fairy tale quickly devolved into a circus.

The age gap didn’t help—Vivica in her late 30s, 50 barely 27 and still obsessed with protecting his gangster image. Privacy? Forget it. He ran his mouth in interviews, spilling intimate details about their sex life. Instead of quietly breaking things off, he ghosted her—then announced their breakup on the radio before Vivica even knew it was over.

Humiliation was baked into the relationship, and Vivica never forgot it.

The Decades of Shots Fired

Since then, their story has been one long chain of jabs.

Music Disses: 50 rapped about Vivica in “Get In My Car,” painting her as desperate and clingy.

TV Shade: He claimed Empire lost ratings due to “too much gay stuff,” prompting Vivica to clap back with DL accusations.

Social Media Trolls: Anytime Vivica trends—whether for her career, her looks, or now her BBL—50 is in the comments ready to stir the pot.

But what’s fascinating is Vivica never shies away. She claps back every time, sometimes with her own receipts, sometimes with thinly veiled threats that she’s holding dirt on him that hasn’t been aired yet.

If 50 is Hollywood’s king of trolling, Vivica is the queen who refuses to be dethroned.

The BBL Fallout

This latest round, centered on Vivica’s body, feels like déjà vu. 50 starts flirty, realizes people are speculating he still has feelings, then flips into bully mode to reassert his “manly” image. Vivica, unbothered, hits him where it hurts—his masculinity.

According to insiders, Vivica is fed up with 50’s antics. She’s reportedly threatening to expose “dirt” she’s sat on for years if he doesn’t keep her name out of his mouth. And given how unfiltered Vivica has been in the past, no one doubts she’d actually do it.

Social media has already split into camps. Some fans criticize Vivica for the surgery and say she’s “too old for this.” Others defend her right to do whatever she wants with her body and call out 50’s obsession with an ex he dumped two decades ago.

One viral comment summed it up: “50’s still pressed 20 years later, Vivica still fine at 61, and we’re all still here watching like it’s Netflix.”

Why They Can’t Quit Each Other

At this point, it’s clear: 50 and Vivica aren’t just exes. They’re each other’s favorite nemesis.

For 50, Vivica represents a chapter he can’t fully bury—an older woman who once had him whipped, who saw a softer side he doesn’t want the world to believe exists.

For Vivica, 50 is the one that got away, not because she still wants him, but because of how public and humiliating the breakup was. Her clapbacks are less about revenge and more about reclaiming dignity.

Together, they’ve created a spectacle that keeps them both relevant. When Vivica trends, 50 trends. When 50 trolls, Vivica claps back. And the cycle continues.

The Bottom Line

So here we are again, 20 years after a short-lived romance, watching two grown adults drag each other over BBLs, sexuality rumors, and old betrayals.

50 Cent, now 48, still can’t resist trolling the woman he once called his queen. Vivica A. Fox, nearly 61, still refuses to let him have the last word. And fans? We can’t look away.

Messy? Absolutely. Petty? Beyond belief. But boring? Never.

Because in the soap opera of celebrity beefs, “BBL Vivy vs. Petty 50” is the saga that just won’t end.
