“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 at the time. In the caption of his post, he added: “I look back at some of the sh*t that I did I gotta learn to shut the fvck up. Look at that look at end that’s trouble.

After 50 said that Black women “get mad” and “get angry” during an appearance on Lil Wayne‘s Young Money Radio back in 2020, Fox slammed him on Cocktails With Queens. “He just has such f*ckboy tendencies,” she said at the time. “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?” 50 ended up accusing Fox of still being in love with him afterward.

January 9, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Gabrielle Union liked a post on Twitter throwing shade at Vivica A. Fox following her recent response to Taraji P. Henson’s comments on unfair pay in Hollywood. Speaking with TMZ, Fox had claimed she hasn’t experienced any of the problems that brought Henson to tears during an interview with Gayle King. Union liked a post remarking, “She hasn’t experienced Taraji’s successes either. Next.”

While talking to TMZ, Fox had explained: “To each [their] own. I am very happy, very blessed. To each [their] own. I didn’t have that experience, so…you know. But to get your piece out is important. I totally understand that. And I love my girls for looking out for each other. But… I’m good.”

Henson originally broke down while speaking about retiring from acting with King. “I’m just tired of working so hard, being gracious at what I do [and] getting paid a fraction of the cost,” Henson admitted. “I’m tired of hearing my sisters say the same thing over and over. You get tired. I hear people go, ‘You work a lot.’ Well, I have to. The math ain’t math-ing. When you start working a lot, you have a team. Big bills come with what we do. We don’t do this alone. It’s a whole team behind us. They have to get paid.” Check out the tweets Union liked in response below.

Vivica A. Fox Seemingly Likes Sexyy Red Shade Post

October 14, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Eagle-eyed Instagram users seemingly caught Vivica A. Fox liking some shade thrown at Sexyy Red. The post in question was a video of Sexyy Red dancing on stage with the caption “What is this [three laughing emojis]”. It’s unclear what exactly was being shaded about Red but it certainly wasn’t a respectful post.

People went after Fox hard online. “Crazy how all the unties & uncles be judging the younger folks making they money. Auntie V, you played a whole stripper to make your money . Shut up ,” one person argued. “First of all Sexxy Redd looks like a real person. There is nothing wrong with her body. Second of all, actually that is all,” argued another. “Y’all need to leave this girl alone damn. Every body don’t live their lives the same damn!” added a third. Some people did come to Fox’s defense, arguing that she potentially she watched the reel and didn’t read the caption. However, it’s a pretty hard position to defend.

More Sexyy Red Bedroom Pics Leak Online

Meanwhile, more pictures showcasing Red’s bedroom life have leaked online. The photos show a submissive Red licking a man’s toes and kissing his feet. The photos quickly circulated online, receiving both praise and disgust. Furthermore, the photos come just a few weeks after a full sex tape of Red was posted to her Instagram story. Red is yet to comment on the release of the feet pics.

During her meteoric rise, the sex life of the self-proclaimed “raw dog queen” has been something constantly reported on and hotly debated. Red has claimed that she insists that her partners don’t use condoms. She has also posted up intimately with various men wearing ankle monitors. However, while she has received some praise, there has also been a fair amount of backlash. Some believe that Red is setting a bad “example” for Black women. Meanwhile, others think that the rapper is just far too loose with her content. “Let them imagine something,” Sherri Shepard said on a recent Breakfast Club appearance.

SZA’s “Kill Bill” Video Almost Had Uma Thurman Cameo, Vivica A. Fox Claims

July 3, 2023 by newhiphopnews

SZA’s “Kill Bill” is one of the biggest hits of the decade so far, let alone of 2022 and 2023 due to its late-year release. In addition, its music video was also very well-received, especially due to tapping original Kill Bill star, Vivica A. Fox. However, apparently the TDE singer’s team wanted to get the film’s main character, Uma Thurman, according to Fox. What’s more is that, even though The Bride didn’t appear, Vivica is still waiting for a reunion at some point through another film in the franchise. During an interview with AV Club, the actress spoke on these allegations and how she responded to this news- and to them reaching out to her.

“When I got it, I was surprised, to be honest with you,” Fox said of SZA’s video. “‘Cause they called… [It] took them five days to finally decide that they were going to hire me, ’cause I think they wanted Uma Thurman. But when you think about it, it’s a little bit more fitting for SZA and Vivica to be together because we’re both African American women, and when it came out, people just ran with it.

SZA’s “Kill Bill” Video

“They were like, ‘They’re going to make Kill Bill 3, finally,’” the actress continued. “Because people have been waiting for Kill Bill 3 for such a long time and see my daughter get revenge on Uma.” However, she also made it clear that she doesn’t resent or feel frustration over being second fiddle to Thurman when it came to getting a Kill Bill star on the video. “Cool,” she said of SZA’s efforts. “I mean, it is her franchise, as well as mine.”

Meanwhile, the “Gone Girl” singer explained the inspiration behind the video to Entertainment Weekly. In fact, she probably always wanted Fox to appear in the visual. “I love Vivica A. Fox’s character,” she remarked. “I love Lucy Liu’s character, I even love Bill. Because he’s super complex, I feel like he doesn’t understand why he did what he did. He’s void of emotion, but he loved The Bride so much that he couldn’t stand her to be with anyone else.” For more news and updates on SZA and Vivica A. Fox, log back into HNHH.

SZA’s ‘Kill Bill’ Video Almost Featured A Special Cameo From Uma Thurman, According To Vivica A. Fox

July 3, 2023 by newhiphopnews

SZA might’ve punked out from submitting guest verses in the past. But she isn’t shy about securing memorable star-studded cameos on her projects. The “Low” singer’s past videos have featured guest appearances by Drew Barrymore and more. However, there was one actress that she couldn’t snag. According to Vivica A. Fox, her on-screen spotlight in SZA’s “Kill Bill” video might have been intended for Uma Thurman.

During an interview with AV Club, Fox recounted working with the songwriter. “When I got it, I was surprised, to be honest with you. Cause they called…[It] took them five days to finally decide that they were going to hire me, ’cause I think they wanted Uma Thurman,” said Fox.

The actress added, “But when you think about it, it’s a little bit more fitting for SZA and Vivica to be together because we’re both African American women, and when it came out, people just ran with it. They were like, ‘They’re going to make Kill Bill 3, finally.’ Because people have been waiting for Kill Bill 3 for such a long time and see my daughter get revenge on Uma.”

Fox holds no bad blood over the matter, saying that SZA’s delayed response due to her supposedly trying to secure Thurman was “Cool,” she remarked, saying, “I mean, it is her franchise, as well as mine.”

Contrarily, when outlining the inspiration behind the video, SZA made it clear that Fox’s appearance was always the goal. “I love Vivica A. Fox’s character. I love Lucy Liu’s character. I even love Bill because he’s super complex. I feel like he doesn’t understand why he did what he did. He’s void of emotion, but he loved The Bride so much that he couldn’t stand her to be with anyone else,” SZA told EW.

Jussie Smollett Is Directing A New Movie Starring Vivica A. Fox

June 23, 2023 by newhiphopnews

According to reports, Jussie Smollett is currently directing a new movie starring Vivica A. Fox. Smollett was spotted on set of the film, titled The Lost Holiday, yesterday. Photos from the set shared by TMZ show the two working alongside each other in Orange County. Smollett and Fox also previously worked together on the series Empire.

Smollett is also in the process of appealing his conviction for faking a hate crime in 2019. In March of this year, his attorneys filed an appellant brief claiming that the court “committed reversible error” and was “excessive” in its sentencing. They later shared a statement about the appeal. “If Mr. Smollett’s convictions are allowed to stand, this case will set a dangerous precedent,” it reads, “by giving prosecutors a second bite at the apple any time there is dissatisfaction with another prosecutor’s exercise of discretion.” Furthermore, the actor will have to serve five months if the appeal fails. Smollett’s court hearing is scheduled to take place in December.

Fox has continued to stick by Smollett amid the controversy surrounding the 2019 hoax. She previously told TMZ that she plans to “do something with him in the future.” Now, it appears that day has come.

Fox also made headlines earlier this month for claiming that she’s not opposed to rekindling her romance with 50 Cent. She appeared on Sherri Shepherd’s talk show where the two discussed the possibility. “Well, [Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez] did it again. Why not?” Fox asked the host. The two then continued to joke, and Fox explained that her ex is unfortunately already taken. “He has a beautiful girlfriend by the name of Cuban Link,” she said. “Recently, he gave her something, but I don’t know if it was an engagement ring. But it was a beautiful ring.”

50 Cent Issues Ominous Warning After Nick Cannon Calls Him “Fat”

June 13, 2023 by newhiphopnews

50 Cent and Nick Cannon have traded words before but the television host decided to reignite their feud, again. It all began when Vivica A. Fox sat down with Sherri Shepherd on her eponymous talk show. The Set It Off actress revealed that she wouldn’t be opposed to rekindling her romance with 50 Cent, nearly two decades after they briefly dated in the 2000s. Although 50 hasn’t necessarily acknowledged her comments, it became a point of conversation on the Daily Cannon podcast.

The Drumline star seemed baffled at Fox’s recent comments about 50 Cent and unloaded a slew of fat jokes on the G-Unit leader. “You can fantasize about Fif from 15 years ago. That’s a different Fif than this fat n***a that’s walking around now,” Cannon said on the podcast. His co-host Mason Moussette admitted that she would still date the rapper if she had the chance. “He is fat! He look like he got a pack of hot dogs in the back of his neck. You lookin’ at them pictures from Get Rich or Die Tryin’, now it’s get thick or die fryin’!” Cannon responded.

As we’ve seen in the past two-plus, 50 Cent thrives when tensions are running high. However, it doesn’t seem like he’s too keen on engaging in an ongoing battle with Nick Cannon. Fif appeared to let off a warning shot. Without mentioning names, he shared a post that read, “It’s never luck. It’s always God.” He captioned the post, “if your marketing campaign is say something about 50. Your not going to make it, have a nice day. The Final Lap tour.”

Although that didn’t necessarily speak directly to Cannon’s comments, Fif doesn’t seem willing to bite the bait. The two have previously engaged in a heated back-and-forth online when Cannon began releasing a series of diss tracks towards Eminem. Naturally, 50 Cent leaped to the Shady Records boss’ defense, describing Cannon as “legendary corny,” among other things. We’ll keep you posted on any further updates surrounding the apparent beef between the two. Check out 50 Cent’s post above.

Vivica A. Fox & 50 Cent: Actress Expresses Interest In Reconciling Romantically With Rapper

June 10, 2023 by newhiphopnews

58-year-old Vivica A. Fox is looking for love, and she’s apparently not afraid to spin the block to find it. Over the years the actress and various Hollywood heartthrobs have had rumours flying, including Ne-Yo, Dennois Rodman, Jamie Foxx, and Shemar Moore. Perhaps her most-talked-about relationship also happens to be one of her oldest, when she briefly dated 50 Cent in 2003. The pair looked undeniably good together, but couldn’t make things work. While he’s currently happily in love with Cuban Link, Fox revealed during a recent appearance on Sherri Shepherd’s talk show that she’s looking for love at the moment.

“Well, [Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez] did it again. Why not?” the black-haired beauty joked when the host asked if she would be interested in reconciling with the New Yorker. Elsewhere, she and Shepherd discussed Fif’s reaction to Fox’s upcoming First Lady of BMF project, which he seemed less than enthused about. “I took it as a compliment. I did. I was like, ‘That was his way of showing support.’ Thanks, boo,” the Indiana native laughed.

Vivica A. Fox Appears on Sherri

Of course, Fox is well aware of her ex’s new relationship, and she made sure to send them love during her Sherri interview. “[50 Cent] has a beautiful girlfriend by the name of Cuban Link… Recently, he gave her something, but I don’t know if it was an engagement ring. But it was a beautiful ring,” she noted, clearly having seen the young socialite’s IG post at the time.

Despite gossip rapidly circulating at the time, the Power producer quickly shot down engagement talk online. He and his partner may not be ready to take their love to the next level quite yet, but friends and fans alike have often commented on how she seems to have shaped her beau into a better man. See photos of Cuban Link’s massive ring from 50 Cent at the link below. Make sure to tap back in with HNHH later this weekend for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.
