‘Don’t Get Nervous!’: Vivica A. Fox Claps Back at Cuban Link’s Comment After the Actress Called 50 Cent the Love of Her Life

Vivica A. Fox responded directly to a remark from 50 Cent‘s current girlfriend Jamira ‘Cuban Link’ Haines on Wednesday, May 26, after the aspiring lawyer seemingly shaded the actress following her revelation of 50 being the love of her life. Fox, who dated the rapper in 2003, opened up during a recent Vlad TV interview about their brief love affair and why it ended the following year. The interview was initially reposted on The Shade Room the same day when Haines commented “.. aww” with a single playing violin emoji and heart eyes. 

Although it is unclear what Haines meant by her comment, it seems that the model was making fun of Fox’s statements. The violin emoji could be symbolic of the term “the world’s smallest violin,” which is a hypothetical instrument one plays when mocking being sympathetic for someone who is unnecessarily complaining or whining.

Fox took to her Instagram Story to address Haines and her comment while mentioning how the interview clip didn’t show the “Queens with Cocktails” co-host complimenting the model. She said as 50 Cent’s “P.I.M.P” played in the background, “Well! This is getting good cause I tried to post three times on @theshaderoom. Now @_cuban_link, what that clip didn’t show was that I said he now has a hawt gurlfiend & Im happy 4 him! So stay in ya bag boo Don’t get nervous! I’m good!” Fox wrapped up her story by tagging her friend and her “Dead End” co-star Ciarra Carter with: “Am I Lying” followed by a laughing emoji.

As Fox’s story made its rounds on social media, including The Shade Room, fans warned Haines that the actress is not one to mess with. One Instagram user even mentioned Fox’s hit movie “Two Can Play That Game,” a film about a career woman who plays a series of mind games to keep her man in line, as a prime example. 

“πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ don’t forget miss Vivica Fox is the one who taught us TWO CAN PLAY THAT GAME.”

“One thing about Auntie Vivica she gon set ya right πŸ˜‰.”

“I’m ctfuuu she said don’t get nervous πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ that sound like ‘I can take him if I want pipe down”

“If don’t play with me was a person πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ auntie said not today.”

One social media user went as far as to ask what is Haines’ problem because that person felt the interview was just Fox talking about a past relationship and nothing else. “Cuban’s comment was Unnecessary because Vivica spoke on her relationship with 50 and why it ended. What’s her problem.”

Despite what fans deemed were unnecessary remarks toward Fox’s interview, the actress said nothing but nice things about her ex and claimed that she and 50 broke up because they went public too fast.

She said, β€œHe will always have a special place in my heart. But the reason why the relationship ended was because we went public way too fast, had way too many people in our business. If I was to have a chance to do it over it would be that we’d stay private a lot longer. But we got too many people in our business and you know that’s what killed the relationship. Unfortunately, because I really loved him.”

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual β€” and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
