The actress also talked about her very public feud with ex 50 Cent. She talked about where her relationship stands now with the superstar after the couple had an open feud last year. “He’s in the book, he’s part of my life…In my opinion there is not any feud anymore. We got peace,” says Fox. “I’m not feuding with him. I wish him continued success.”
