Just when the old flames seemed to have dialed down to a peaceful simmer, actress Vivica A. Fox decided to turn up the heat. On Sunday (November 9), Fox stopped by Bravo's Watch What Happens Live (WWHL) and dropped a gossip bomb for viewers, starting gay rumors involving her ex-boyfriend 50 Cent and fellow rapper Soulja Boy. Once news broke about her allegations, both rappers quickly responded to her on Instagram.

Andy Cohen hosted a special episode of WWHL featuring Fox and The Real Housewives of Atlanta (RHOA) star Kandi Burruss. Fox was scheduled to discuss her upcoming appearance on the hit Fox drama Empire, while Burruss planned to open up about the highly anticipated season premiere of her Housewives series featuring new cast member, Kim Fields.

The conversation turned left when Cohen asked Fox about the "In Da Club" rapper blaming the decline of Empire's second season ratings to all the "gay stuff" broadcast on the show. What came out of Fox's mouth next surprised everyone as she insinuated 50 Cent might not be as straight as people think.

"First of all, you know the pot called the kettle black is all I'm saying," Fox said on WWHL. Burruss replied, "That was some tea! That was shade. That was major shade."

Both Cohen and Burruss questioned whether the 51-year-old actresses was hinting at 50 Cent being gay to which she responded with a long dramatic pause and a couple of hair flips. When Fox finally answered the question, she still left people with unresolved questions about her allegations.

"He's not ---- We had a great time. He just seems like he's got something that's not quite clear," Fox said. She then went on to reference a XXL Magazine cover (which she mistakenly called a Vibe cover) that made her question his sexuality. The cover in question featured 50 Cent with his arm rather possessively around a nervous-looking Soulja Boy, who happened to be shirtless.

A representative for the rapper also stated the rapper has nothing against the gay community and has since deleted the social media post regarding Empire and their ratings, according to People.

Her comments made their way back to 50 Cent quickly and he counteracted with his favorite weapon: social media. The king of social media trolling posted several images in response to her allegations and Soulja Boy later followed.

50 Cent refused to take the subtle approach with his response, directly accusing the actress of engaging in lewd sexual acts as well as attacking her body image and her character. Soulja Boy didn't stray too far away from 50's approach. The 25-year-old rapper used one of the same images in 50 Cent's posts to fire back at her and try to dismiss the gay rumors.
