FOXY BROWN DISCUSSES JIGGA & LOCKDOWN IN BLOG
According to sohh, rapper Foxy Brown just wrote a blog entry talking about her early days in hip-hop with Jigga and her experiences being locked up at Ricker’s Island prison last year. She has offered her fans a recollection of memories Foxy calls her “Bonnie & Clyde” relationship with Jigga.
“15 years old,” she wrote. “Brooklyn…So, young Inga, young Shawn, Brooklyn’s Bonnie and Clyde…I created a f*ckin’ hip-hop classic…”Ain’t No N*gga!” And I finally got my name. The one and only Foxy Brown. Bad girl of rap. Fast forward the tape a number of years…On Riker’s Island. Looking at an eight-month bid. Since Shyne got 9, hip-hop’s been on trial…It was during those 23 hours, EVERYDAY, that I looked long and hard at myself. Who I was…from young Inga to Foxy Brown to a number on a docket…I learned to be grateful…grateful to be given another chance. And now I just got to show and prove…not to the world, but to myself.” Foxy has orginally planned to release a new album last year but things happen considering she is still serving her prison sentence. Aside from an album, Foxy and Lil’ Kim were previously sued over advance money for books never released.
“The Brooklyn emcees were both paid advances by Simon & Schuster, Inc. for books expected to have already hit shelves. Foxy was allegedly given $75,000 in ’05 for an exclusive autobiography titled Broken Silence that was scheduled for completion by Feb 2006. Kim was handed $40,000 in ’03 for a novel due by June 2004. Although they were legally required to complete the books, both rap vixens served jail time shortly after signing their deals”.
