50 Cent and Vivica Fox dated over 13 years ago, but the fallout flames from their brief relationship continue to burn.

Indeed, they heated all the way up earlier this year when the pair’s respective shows ‘Power’ and ‘Empire’ went head-to-head in the court of public opinion.

During the peak of the pettiness, Fox insinuated the former G-Unit general may be gay – due to his willingness to let her play with his ass-ets. That and his interestingly themed VIBE cover with Soulja Boy.

Now, 50 is responding. Ironically on the same show Aunt Viv made her claims – Bravo’s Watch What Happens Live.

The latest is titled ‘Before I Do.’

Playing at a slower tempo than predecessors ‘Prolly’ and ‘D4L,’ the cut awaits your listening after the jump…

Said cause brought the Black Eyed Peas belle to the TODAY Show this morning, where she performed ‘Life.’
