Foxy Brown to Deliver New Album, Not Baby

Just last month Foxy Brown declared she was pregnant right as she was facing a jail sentence. Convenient! Today it's being reported that maternity accommodations won't be needed after all, because (not surprisingly) she's not really preggers.

After violating probation in August, Foxy's defense lawyers told the court that she was pregnant. Yesterday her manager Chaz Williams said: "And to the pregnancy rumors, this is the official statement: She is not pregnant." Yes, "rumors" tend to spread when your lawyers announce you are 3 months pregnant to a judge, an entire courtroom, and the media. The rapper will, however, bring a new album into the world while serving time.

The announcement of her first album since 2001 came from a statement released by Foxy herself. It will be called Brooklyn's Don Diva and is set to hit stores on November 20th (a release date before her release date). She also let everyone know, "This is just a temporary situation. I made my bed and have no problem lying in it. My will is steady. What doesn't kill me will only make me stronger."

Will it? Well before her sentencing last Friday she pleaded for a second chance. Apparently two weeks in jail was enough to make her strong (or test her will), as the rapper told the judge: “I’m willing to do whatever I need to do to change. I realize that’s not where I want to be. It’s humbled me in ways I never imagined." When told it was "too little, too late" Team Foxy responded by telling Judge Jackson, "I'm sorry Miss Jackson, we're not impressed, and definitely not stopping musically."

But racism is so damn funny. I would miss it if it wasn't there.

I think theres a single racist lurker writing ALL the racist crap on this and all the comments on other posts. Sad. Poor guy. Must be awful to carry that shit around all the time. Racism appears as simply ignorant but also shows a lack of analytical thinking, not to mention deep seated self hatred.

EWWWWWWW. She be gross, yo.

Please now go away forever you dumb, ugly, lying, criminal. Nobody cares. Nobody ever cared. You are a mockery of a laughingstock. The only problem with your being in jail is that it lessens the chance of you being hit by a truck or having a piano fall on your head. Foxy? Not so much....

i wanna say something sassy about her but it's just masking the fact that I hate her cause she's a loud black person

Is she made of plastic..?

I guess part of "Stop Snitchin'" is to lie as much as you can.

Is it OK to comment on the fact that she looks like a chimpanzee...? hehe

Umm, there's nothing wrong with spewing hate, however one can always do it in a more subtle manner...

Dear Foxy Brown,

No one is trying to stop your music. We're just trying to get you to stop assaulting people, driving dangerously, and otherwise endangering people other than your damn fool self.

Love,

The New York State Government
