50 Cent went down memory lane and shared a video from 20 years ago that featured his very public come-on to future ex-girlfriend Vivica A. Fox.
The musician took to his official Instagram account to share a throwback clip of him winning the Best New Artist award at the 2003 BET Awards. During his acceptance speech, he decided to shoot his shot and flirt with the actress, who was in the audience at the time.
"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 before walking off the stage, as Fox looked shocked but laughed after hearing the compliment. (via People)
However, in the caption, 50 Cent expressed his regret, noting that he should've kept his opinions to himself.
"I look back at some of the s*** that I did I gotta learn to shut the f*** up. Look at that look at end that's trouble," he wrote with a laughing emoji.
