Word is Island Def Jam will not release Foxy Brown‘s Black Roses
on its December due date and in fact may drop the Brooklyn, NY femcee from the
label altogther.

“Jay-Z is furious at Foxy’s lack of productivity on her
album Black Roses,” a source told theNew York Post. “He is also mad
because Foxy was talking out of school about him and Rihanna
and saying things that weren’t true. Def Jam planned to release her album around
the release of her book, Broken Silence, but Foxy has since lost her publishing
deal with Simon & Schuster and has been vigorously shopping her book to
others.”

Fox has had quite a bad streak as of late. She was recently sentenced to three
years probation after being convicted of assaulting a manicurist and she lost
a false arrest and defamation judgment against a woman she claimed robbed her
two years ago. The Post also reported that an appearance on “The Oprah
Winfrey Show” recently fell through and that Def Jam is looking to drop
her.

“Foxy has absolutely no idea that she is about to get the ax from Jay,”
the source told The Post. “She’s been trying to get meetings with him,
and he isn’t even returning her phone calls.”

A Def Jam spokesperson wouldn’t comment. On the other hand, a friend of Foxy’s
claims everything is in order. “Foxy left Simon & Schuster, not the
other way around, and she’s about to announce a deal with another book publisher.
Her album is fine,” the friend told The Post.
