Rapper/jailbird Foxy Brown is not exactly known for her understated style or demure nature. As the convicted criminal left Rikers Island prison yesterday, she was greeted by quite the orchestrated PR setup. After spending eight months in prison, Foxy was greeted by hordes of fans waiting outside the prison walls, along with a herd of reporters. Unlike the average inmate who has to leave in the prison’s bus, Foxy was chauffeured in a Rolls-Royce Phantom, thanks to the wrangling of , New York City councilman Charles Barron. Foxy was also greeted by her hair and makeup artist, who brought along a leather jacket and other attire to keep her looking her best. And through it all, she remained ever humble and contrite.
While relishing the welcome-home hugs and kisses, she sounded less than contrite about her stretch behind bars.
“I did almost a year in prison, a year in prison, just because my name is Foxy Brown,” she said.
[From the New York Daily News]
Actually I checked with the courts (and by that I mean Wikipedia) and Foxy actually did eight months in prison just because she assaulted several people on several occasions and violated her probation. Oh and her name isn’t really Foxy Brown. So pretty much no part of that statement is accurate.
Foxy’s Rolls-Royce took her straight to church, where she spent some quality time being expressing her gratitude to the man upstairs. Well after she did some shopping and ate some chicken.
Rapper Foxy Brown got out of the Big House Friday, and said she was heading straight for God’s house. “The first place I want to go is church. I’ve got to get on my knees,” the hip-hop honey said. First, though, she went shopping in Harlem and stopped for a little soul food. Then she made a beeline for her childhood home in Brooklyn.
“Feels good, feels good, feels good,” she said, climbing out of a white Rolls-Royce Phantom and running up the stoop of her family’s Prospect Heights home into her mother’s arms. “I love you, Mommy,” she told her mother, Judith Marchand, who presented the freed jailbird with smiley-face balloons and an arrangement of cut fruit shaped like flowers. “This is my house, my mother and whole family, my neighborhood, the room I wrote my first rap song in,” Brown gushed, as a VH1 film crew captured the moment for an upcoming reality show. “This is real emotional for me.”
[From the New York Daily News]
I live right next to Prospect Heights, and all I can say is I’ve spent the last 24 hours pretty damn scared. Where is Foxy Brown? Does she currently have a cell phone in her hand? What about a Blackberry or a Palm Pilot? It’s likely that there’s several nail salons within walking distance – does Foxy know where they are? Statistically speaking, what are the odds of me running into her? If I do, what are the odds that she’ll hurl whatever’s in her hand at me? I’m guessing the answer to the latter is about 70/30. Which is why I will now be walking around Brooklyn with protective headgear for the next three weeks, until I hear that Foxy’s gotten acclimated and settled down. Until then, expect that I won’t be leaving the house. The rest of New York City should probably consider following suit.
Here’s Foxy emerging from a white Silver Cloud Rolls Royce to greet her fans on 19th Ave as she is released from nearby Rikers Island Correctional Facility in East Elmhurst, Queens yesterday. Images thanks to Splash.
Eight months after she was incarcerated in a New York City prison, rapper Foxy Brown is a free woman. And she couldn’t be happier.
Brown (real name Inga Marchand) was sentenced to one year behind bars for assaulting two nail salon stylists over a $20 manicure back in October 2006.

Manicurists and beauty shop owners of Manhattan, beware!
Foxy Brown is finally being released from jail.
Inga (her real name) is coming out on April 18th…and she's going straight to work on a new TV show.
She's gotta pay off her legal bills somehow!
Rapper, criminal, and muse of the ages Foxy Brown has been denied the early release from prison she had requested. Brown had been hoping to go to California to seek treatment for a defective ear implant. Ms. Brown was sentenced to a year in prison this past September, after violating the probation she earned by assaulting some manicurists. Spinderella remains at large. [NYT]

Foxy Brown is staying in jail.
The rapper asked to be released so she could see an ear specialist in Los Angeles. She claimed only a Hollywood doc could make things better.
However, a judge said on Thursday that she needed more info to determine if Foxy would really go deaf if she stays in jail.
Bitch, she was making that shit up!
While at the hearing yesterday, Foxy pleaded to be released. "I have too much talent to throw it away," Brown said. "I know I will make you proud and my family proud."
The judge told the rapper: "I'm glad you're learning some very hard lessons that needed to be learned."

While she’s getting ready to release her new album “Brooklyn’s Don Diva” on November 20th, Foxy Brown will have to enjoy that day in solitary confinement.
The female rapper got into a scuffle with fellow inmates at Rikers Island Jail back on October 16th. She was rude to the guard who broke up the fight, and refused a drug screen and now she’ll be spending 76 days in punitive segregation.
Rod Townsend (aka our commenter Momo), used to receive telephone calls from The Past, a mysterious entity that remembered where things used to be in New York before Starbucks and Whole Foods came to town.
"Hello?"
"Oh, kneadynips, it's The Past. Can I just tell you it's all so over?"
"Over the top? Over the limit? Overdone? Overcooked?"
"It's just, like, Over. Nightlife is just getting weird. I can't even have fun at Limelight."
"What do you mean?"
"Well, to be honest, it's never really been my venue of choice. Too much 'freaky for freaky sake' and not enough 'freaky.' That whole group of club kids. They really just try too hard. I've been thinking about it ever since Angel died."
"Wait. You told me about him. Was it an overdose?"
"An overdose of Michael Alig! Angel didn't even do drugs; he just sold them. Then Michael and Freeze up and killed Angel, chopped him up and threw him in the river. But the police finally figured it all out, and now Michael's in jail. Which is probably more fun than clubs these days anyway."
"You're obviously exaggerating."
"Not really, swirlysnooch. It used to be we'd just walk in the front door. Then we had to start going in through the Twentieth Street entrance. Now there's no VIP entrance at all and we have to go in with the cattle. They make us wait in line to be patted down in the most unflirtatious way. I even saw them shake down some poor tranny's wig. She should've hid razors in that 'fro."
"Oh! Like Foxy Brown?"
"Coffy, actually. Anyway, we did the usual survey of the main floor, checked out the side and then headed our way upstairs. It was surreal. What used to be too packed was just a big empty room. Even the backroom where guys used to stick their dicks into the holes of a box that allegedly housed some random homeless drag queen? Empty."
"Well, there's always shifts in venues. One place goes out of favor and a new one rises."
"No, there's a more than a shift happening. Giuliani has this whole crackdown on fun going on while he's supposedly sticking his dick into somebody other than his wife. You know how moralistic hypocrites can be, right? But it's more than just that. New places that are opening are filled with tables and chairs and smaller dance floors. I saw my friend JonEd working the VIP door at one of the new places and she said we couldn't go in unless we bought a bottle of Absolut. For, like, $300! All these changes—it's like I'm suddenly in Atlanta. It's making me go a little crazy I think."
"Change can bring out weird feelings. And you sound, well, a little emotional. Are you that upset?"
"It's not just nightlife. It's, well, everything. I'm... I'm just afraid."
"You? But you're fearless. What could you be afraid of?"
"I call you week after week. For months now and it seems like everything I ever tell you about. Every important thing in my life is either gone or forgotten. All just things of The Past."
"That still doesn't explain what could scare you."
"Too be honest, it's you. I'm afraid of becoming you."
"Hey, I'm not that bad a thing to become! I still can... Hold on, I have another call... Hello?"
"Es salaam aleikum, giga-glans! I've been wanting to call you for years! This is The Future."

Rapper Foxy Brown–currently serving a year in Rikers Island jail for a probation violation–was removed from the general population last week and thrown into solitary confinement. Why? Because she’s stupid. The New York Post reports:
The first incident occurred on Oct. 3 while Foxy and another female inmate were headed to the dining hall for a meal in the Rose M. Singer facility, the sources said. They started shoving each other for reasons that were not immediately clear, prompting correction officers to jump in and separate the two before things turned bloody, officials said. The next day, Foxy was verbally abusive toward correction officers and also refused to take a random drug test, the sources said.
After the three cases were reviewed by the Department of Correction, Foxy was sentenced to 76 days in “punitive segregation” and brought to her new digs, where she can spend up to 23 hours alone in her cell, sources said. For an hour each day, she is allowed to see visitors, meet with an attorney, go to the library or exercise in a recreation area away from the general-population inmates. (Source)
76 days in isolation? Wow, I’d never last that long. I’d start chaffing after day 2! Anyways, this is probably just a stunt by Foxy to increase her street cred. Getting sent to jail? Worked for Tupac. Fighting with other hooligans? Worked for 50 Cent. Getting put in isolation? Worked for Charles Manson. So you see, it’s all part of the branding process. When she gets out, she’ll probably change her name too . . . I like “Detoxy Brown” or “Inmate 45690378.”

BlackBerry-chucking rap queen Foxy Brown, who missed repeated arraignments last week, finally made it off Rikers Island to court! [TMZ]
It is almost the weekend, praise be! And no matter what your weekend threatens to bring, remember that it's surely gonna be better than that of imprisoned BlackBerry-hurling former rap star Foxy Brown, who is so stewed that she won't even get on the bus from Rikers Island (New York's real sixth borough!) for her arraignment. She's had it up to here! So wherever you go, remember this lone woman's spirit of resistance. Yes. Whether you rot in your own personal jail of an apartment, or venture out in the big bad City to be judged by officers of the law and those that impersonate them, you are all Foxy Brown.

Foxy Brown was sentenced to a year in prison for probation violation. Good!
Her list of offenses is longer than Pete Doherty’s!
The rapper has already begun serving her sentence, at Rikers Island in New York.
If she doesn’t get into any prison bitchfights, she will be eligible for parole in eight months.
For some celebrities, it’s drugs. For others, it’s sex. But for Foxy Brown, her ultimate downfall is her temper. And now she’s in jail because of it.
The 27-year-old rapper was placed in custody after she smacked her neighbor with her cell phone. She also failed to show up at her anger management classes and left the city without permission.

Can we ship some of these NYC judges out to La-La Land? Seriously, you don't mess around with these judges. Lohan, Paris and Richie would be on a chaingang right now and shot if they even looked towards escaping if we had these proper judicial offices operating out in Cali. I say this because this hot judge bitch sent Foxy Brown's crazy ass to jail! Do not pass "Go", you maniac!
We're told that just minutes ago, Judge Melissa Jackson remanded Brown to the custody of the state, and threw her in the clink until her next hearing Sept. 7. Brown had been on probation on assault charges, but two incidents in recent weeks violated her probation, thus leading Judge Jackson to send Foxy to jail.She's in the women's center on Ryker's Island. HAH! And she's claiming she's three months pregnant. And engaged. I hope they had some capable bailiffs or whatever escorting her ass to the prisoner van. Because she will lash out at you. Nails, weave comb, cellie, shoe. She is not a well woman, and full of fiery anger. Seriously, though, her defense should be "why are all these other bitches not in the clink, too?"

Today we find out whether Foxy Brown will spend two more years in jail for violating her probation in various ways. "Her attorney, New York State Sen. John Sampson, said he believes she will be acquitted in the Florida and Brooklyn attacks, and that she should not be jailed today." Hold up, time out. Foxy Brown's lawyer is a New York State Senator?? [NYP]
I don't care if she's deaf, she's obviously an asshole. What is wrong with you if your first response to conflict is to attack someone? This isn't prison! Foxy Brown reportedly beat the crap out of some chick with her Blackberry on July 30th. Damn. She needs a Rocawear straight jacket. Stat.
The 27-year-old, whose real name is Inga Marchand, turned herself in to NYPD yesterday afternoon to be booked on felony assault, menacing, harassment and criminal possession of a weapon. She was arraigned and released on $5,000 bail. Cops say the "Ill Na Na" rapper, who is currently on probation, smacked her 25-year-old neighbor on July 30 with her Blackberry during an argument. According to police, the victim nearly lost some teeth, and her lip and eye swelled up. Nasty! A police report was filed and Foxy agreed to turn herself in.What a waste of electronics, too. She must have gotten her a good one in the chiclets. Maybe she should try and get herself a hit single before embarking on anymore mayhem so she can afford to pay all these legal fees. Granted, I have "Hot Spot" on my iTunes, but it's been awhile since we had anything fresh from this mental patient.

Explaining her arrest at a Beauty Shop in Florida earlier this month, Foxy Brown said at a press conference yesterday:
"The only crime I am guilty of committing is being a young black female celebrity in Broward County. I am the victim of an overzealous police department who engaged in police brutality and a money hungry store owner whose motives are for me to pay his mortgage on his house and his children's tuition."
