In 2005, 50 Cent also released a song titled ‘Get In My Car’ where he threw shade at his ex-girlfriend as he sang, “Commitment from me, uhh... nah, not likely/Went out with Vivica, I thought/I was onto something/But then the next week, nah/Man, it was nothing.”
The ‘Outta Control’ singer later appeared on the same show to reveal that they had resolved their issues. Fox even appeared in his music video for ‘Do You Think About Me'.

Fox shared with host Wendy Williams that after meeting during a New York Knicks game, they have resolved their differences.
She told Wendy, “Someone has to be the bigger person,” before adding, “I hated to have beef with him, but I let nobody mess with me. I ain’t no punk. I told him, ‘I will always love you. We’re not meant to be together, but I’ll always have love for you'.”

She added that she was “very much in love with him” and claimed 50 Cent reciprocated the feeling too.
Fox continued, “I think the reason that it’s haunted me for such a long time is I found out later he wanted to propose to me," per People.
As Wendy asked her whether she was the one to initiate s*x, the actress confirmed while adding, “I was very attracted to him, still am.” She continued, “See that’s what a grown woman does — she owns it.”
