Foxy Brown: New Album, Jail Time and No Baby

Rapper Foxy Brown was sentenced to 12 months of jail last week and now her manager has denied she is pregnant, as previously claimed.

When Manhattan Criminal Court Judge Melissa Jackson sentenced rapper Foxy Brown to 1 year of jail after her repeated clashes with the law, the question that immediately arose was, how would jail affect her three-month pregnancy?

Foxy’s manager has set the record straight though. In announcing the release of a new album from the 28-year-old artist, he denied all rumors of her pregnancy, thus contradicting what his client’s lawyer said in court.

“To the pregnancy rumors, this is the official statement. She is not pregnant,” manager Chaz Williams said.

While she is not having a baby, she is releasing an album, titled “Brooklyn's Don Diva.” A new single, “Don't Surrender,” is being released to radio stations, her Koch Records label said.

While Foxy’s legal troubles began some three years ago, when she attacked two nail salon employees, allegedly over the fee, her more recent follies apparently tested the judge’s patience to the limit.

Earlier this year, Foxy attacked an employer in a beauty salon, throwing hair glue at him. She was charged with battery and obstruction of justice and told to continue the previously ordered anger management classes.

In early August, she was arrested after a female Brooklyn neighbor filed a complaint against Foxy, claiming she had been attacked with a BlackBerry. The woman allegedly required medical attention and the attack resulted in a black eye, swollen lip and loose teeth.

Not long after this incident, Foxy was arrested in New Jersey for driving on a suspended license and leaving New York without permission.

As she had not followed her court-ordered anger management classes, the judge decided enough had occurred to send her to jail.

“Probation is a gift that is given to the defendant and I feel very strongly that I gave her the chance to do what she wanted with her life,” Judge Jackson said Friday, when she sentenced the rapper to jail.

While Foxy pleaded to be given another chance Friday, this week she appeared stoic about her near future.

“This is just a temporary situation,” she said in a statement. “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.”

Her manager confirmed her determination to go through with it. “I expected nothing less. I was in court at sentencing and she didn't blink an eye, she's a strong girl,” he told the Associated Press.

Foxy had already spent a couple of weeks behind bars, as the judge ruled in mid-August that she be locked up until her status hearing on Sept. 7.
