Is rapper 50 Cent a closeted homosexual?
According to his ex-girlfriend, Vivica A. Fox, the answer is… Yes! …Er, no? …Well, maybe. At least that’s what she implied on last night’s taping of Bravo’s Watch What Happens Live!

Andy Cohen asked Fox about 50 Cent’s recent comments about the show Empire, which has been struggling in the ratings department in its second season.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
“What were your thoughts when 50 Cent blamed the season ratings dip on ‘gay stuff’?” Cohen asked.
“First of all,” Fox, who dated the rapped back in 2003, replied, “you know, the pot called the kettle black is all I’m saying.”

Cohen followed that up by asking Fox if her ex-boyfriend is gay. She thought for a moment then said, “No, he’s not.” Then she added: “He just seems like he’s got something that’s not quite clear.”
Naturally, 50 Cent wasn’t too pleased with his ex spreading rumors about him. He quickly took to social media, posting a picture of Fox to his Instagram page along with the caption: “Oh no!!! Now she thinks I’m gay because I let her lick my ass. LMAO. Wait, I didn’t want her to, she forced me, my hands were tied. 50 Shades of Grey.”
Fox responded shortly thereafter by tweeting: “But I got some stories I stored in my vault too!! He can try it if he wants.”
Sounds like this could get ugly.

Uh….when someone asks if your BF is gay and you say “No, he’s not” (in so many words, no less), that’s “outing” someone how? I’m guessing “yes” would be the outing thing, but maybe the LGBTQALSMFTPDQ has changed the rules?

Vivica Fox is out of line

@OhHellNo: Don’t rule out the “possibility” that it may have been her body language that made the interviewer think some thing was amiss in her response. She may have not made eye contact when she answered, which is a dead giveaway there is more to the answer given.
Brian JC Kneeland
she was asked her opinion and she gave it!

Vivica, you started it.. 50 pennies is an a$$hole to the third degree and he will drag her. If she is going to play these games, she better have some good shi# on him.
Justin Weeks
He probably is! It’s always the haters that are the biggest closet cases

@Daniel Salmeron:
It’s only out of line if you think that being gay is something dirty and shameful that must be hidden.
50Cent is the one that attacked the show Empire for being too gay. IF he’s a hypocrite, then I don’t see the problem with Fox calling him on it.

Empire is struggling?? I don’t think so. It’s the number one non-football show eery week now!

See Vivica, we don’t play it that way any more. YOU DON’T OUT PEOPLE. Ok miss nothing, let’s start throwing rocks at your Glass House now.

@OhHellNo: What in the HELL does (LGBTQALSMFTPDQ) Mean? I am gay and i have never heard of this! only LGBTQ is the correct initials!
Gaymikey1960
Actually i could care less about Empire as i do not watch it and i have never been interested in watching it, If it is struggling in the ratings it must not be a good show to begin with! Shows come and go but if they want ratings maybe they should show it on BET or in our area Bounce TV.

@Gaymikey1960: For many of us, LG would do just fine.

Why does Andy ask those questions? it is no one’s business. Find another topic Andy.

@OhHellNo: LGBTQALSMFTPDQ. LOL!!!!
There’s been rumors spreading around Fiddy for awhile now. I wouldn’t be surprised if there was some truth to it. Let’s see if Fiddy backs off of Vivica now that she told him to ‘bring it on’. :-p
Markajv
Why does anyone really care if 50 cent, or anyone for that matter, is gay? I thought we have gotten past this as being kept hidden away. Why would Andy even ask that question on TV? What does that have to do with any of us personally? GOSSIP sucks!

Its about time that somebody give him taste of his own medicine. 50 is always coming for others. He has started so many press fights with among the following: Lee Daniels, Taraji P. Henson, Diddy, JayZ, Drake, Dr. Dre, Oprah. And it always the same variation on a theme. He seems always to be hinting at or finding some way to bring up gayness. He needs to talk to somebody.

@highstrungloner……”Empire is struggling?? I don’t think so. It’s the number one non-football show eery week now!”
Sadly, it is struggling because of the quality of the writing. It is still high in the ratings but the number of viewers has definitely dropped off. I have every episode of season one on dvd but this season I have erased all of the new shows after I struggled to watch them. Every week (so far at least to me) it seems as though in every scene Cookie is struggling as to what to say and to say it in a way that sounds believable. She does a good job of making it “sound” believable but it simply doesn’t look believable. It’s almost the same scene only in different clothes in every episode. You, a woman, took a gun from your young, uncontrollably angered teenaged son, turned around and pointed the gun on a bunch of murderers and kidnappers whom just kidnapped and beat him (probably sexually molested him too based on his rage being portrayed) and didn’t pull the trigger? You fired no warning shot in the air or nothing? And again, these guys (kidnappers and murderers) just stood there? Three of them, mind you.
The expressions on that prison guard’s face that kept giving ol’ Luscious hell look more like “I am trying to act so quit thinking of me as a fading rapper” more than that of an actor doing his job. I don’t give a damn what anyone says considering the car she was getting in it seems hard to believe that the prosecutor didn’t notice that corpse sitting on her front seat before she got in the car. I aint buying it and there is where I began to have my doubts if would make it back in Spring of 2016. No if ands or buts about it, this season sucks.
I almost don’t care enough to the point of where I stop watching (just to see that beautifully sculptured butt Jamal is flashing this season) because of the poor writing. I hope that I am not hoping in vain that there is a scene coming up of him and sculpture in a pair of pearly white Fruit of the Loom bvd’s this season.
I don’t like Fiddy personally that is why I proudly say I have never watched Power. I THINK that is the name of his show. I honestly don’t know.
BriBri
How is that possible? No self respecting homo would use substandard English for a self description.
Blackceo
My goodness gracious. I watched this when it aired live on TV last night and damn near fell out my chair. I mean the streets have been talking for awhile about this regarding 50 Cent, and I’m not even saying he is but I was just shocked that Vivica went there with it. My whole Twitter timeline was LIT. She caused Watch What Happens Live to start trending and I was like ooooo this gonna get ugly. The whole thing was just messy. U can tell she tried to backtrack a little but was leaving no doubt about her insinuation.
Still pretty ridiculous to see these grown people going back and forth like this. 50 coming back talking about how she licked his ass and oh good grief. Just a hot mess sandwich.
@Gaymikey1960: As for Empire, their ratings were over 11 million in the latest episode. Yes it’s down from the highs they hit but those highs were astronomical so it’s like coming off a super high to now a regular high. The show is still a hit and has a large fan base are still the kinds of ratings that will keep the show solid and for a season 3. It’s not for everyone. Its for a particular fan base. So no it doesn’t need to go on BET or Bounce. It is Fox’s highest rated show in years and one that keeps me watching every week.
DeserTBoB
LMAO!!! Another thug ‘hood rat gets outted! Maybe “Fiddy” should wake up and realize he, like the others, is nothing but a joke.

@Blackceo: You actually WATCH anything on Faux? Shame on you, patronizing a network owned by a well-known homophobe.
Jane Freeman
So fekking what if he is??? get a life.
Blackceo
@DeserTBoB:
I do. If I based my viewing of network shows based on owners and CEOs who are r@cist and/or sexist and/or homophobic my viewing options would be greatly limited. But, if it wasn’t Empire, it would be the NFL on Fox I’d be watching. Huge football fan here.
Michael D Harris
All of those black rapper are gay and/or have and still have their “boy” on the side….no such thing as straight…..

and all of them still like looking and being like little boys with those caps and sneakers…..scurred to be a man…..

@DeserTBoB: that’s why she’s 50 cent and not a dollar, the other half is sucking richards. ?

It’s funny that some people are defending Thiffy Thent when he made homophobic comments about Empire having too much gay stuff and citing that as the reason for “declining ratings”.
Kieran
Them’s fighting words in black rapper world. She’s lucky Half Dollar he didn’t just shoot her.

@Bob LaBlah: I’m not going to get into a re-review of wether or not EMPIRE is good this year or not. It’s all just a matter of taste and is totally subjective anyway. I enjoyed it the first season and I am enjoying it in it’s second season as well. I will say though that even though you have a problem with 50Cent you are missing a very good program by not watching POWER. In some ways I can see why he might be dissing EMPIRE because his show did come first and a lot of comparisons can be drawn. I know that he has commented on that a few times.
@DeserTBoB the program might be on a network owned by a well-known homophobe, who by the way no longer runs it, his sons do, but the creator and producer of the show Lee Daniels is gay. And the show runner and now another producer Ilene Chaiken is a lesbian and she was the creator, writer and producer of THE L WORD. So that alone is a good reason to support a program, IF YOU LIKE IT, regardless if it is on FOX. And I agree with Blackceo, you can’t base your viewing of network shows on the owners or CEOs or you would never watch anything!
John R Mayhew
doesn’t matter… gay or straight… all men enjoy that.
Bob LaBlah
@brooklynbobby: You do have a point, since I have never watched Power. If I can sit thru two commercial breaks of that insufferably smothering, black-but-brought-up-in-the-suburbs-Brady-Bunch-style-complete-with-accents-and-all “The Jacksons……(?)” something or other (I honestly forgot the name of the damn show) over on Lifetime (or was it Bravo….again, I don’t remember) I guess I can give Power the benefit of the doubt and put an episode on DVR. Thanks for the tip. I might even like it.
Have you seen the couple over on Love and Hip Hop?
TimberWolf
Controversial regardless if it is true or not just another publicity stunt for half a dollar need for attention as his 5 min of fame dims who cares who licked his rear or who he shags male or female it does not matter. Just publicity is enough for 5 cents

She sounds a bit bitter, still. Move on

outing is wrong… period… shes ghetto..bad actress anyway..shes fat now too

So a guy is automatically gay if he likes to get his ass played with? Please. The g spot is up a man’s ass.
Kieran
If Chivalry was on life support in ICU, Half-Dollar just smothered it with a My Pillow. Damn boy, check yoself.
Brian
If 50 Cent can alternate between men and women, that’s fine. In such a scenario, he would be no more gay than straight.
Regardless of what he does with his private life, nobody has the right to impose an identity on another person. When women call a man “gay”, they are imposing an identity onto him which is unfair.
Brian
Andy Cohen is gross, by the way.
stranded
50 admits he likes rim jobs, while that’s a bit TMI it could be confusing for Vivica. I think more straight guys should admit they like anal stimulation.

You can always count on Queerty to misrepresent the facts for sensationalism.

Vivica sounds just like the typical bitter bitch who got rejected from her admitted “great love of her life” (her words, not mine), so now she needs an internal excuse for why he no longer wanted to be with her. Of course, it couldn’t possibly be because she’s old, ratchet, played-out and tired over-Botoxed cougar. It HAS to be because he’s gay! Yeah, that’s the ticket. That’ll work!
LadyL
@Cynthia Gilletti: Excuse me? It’s Andy’s show and he can ask whatever the hell he likes. If his guest dislikes the question they know they can decline to answer and Andy will accept that and move on. Are you seriously criticizing him because Vivica chose to go there?
LadyL
@Markajv: Oh, please. This site is all about gossip–we don’t discuss nuclear physics here.
To me the larger issue is why so many posters here are hyperventilating over a momentary public discussion about 50 Cent’s sexuality. Is the world going to come to a flaming end because his ex seemed to be calling him out on his “too gay” comment? It never surprises me when the entertainment industry rewards closet cases and criticizes truth tellers, but it is disheartening when so many of us engage in the same hysterical hypocrisy.
aidanbh
Once again, the “gay accusation” is being used by straights to attack other straights. That is still homophobia. Won’t they ever grow up?!
