Brooklyn rapper Foxy
Brown has officially been released from prison today, April 18, after
serving eight months of a 1 year sentence. As Foxy left, she greeted fans, the
media and others who were outside the prison. Foxy said “This is a big day
for me, to have everybody here that I love, my whole family, the whole
Brooklyn, the officers that took care of me at Rikers. Eight months to the day,
I remember going in in August and I said when I come out, I’m coming out even
better. And I’m back baby, it’s a wrap.”

Chazz Williams, Black
Hand Entertainment CEO and Foxy’s Manager added “It’s a beautiful day. I
was out here when she went in and I’m here when she’s coming out. You can
expect big things from her and we won’t be walking this path again any time
soon.”

Foxy was sentenced to a year in New York’s Riker’s Island
after violating her probation in connection with a 2004 assault charge. She was
on probation for assaulting two manicurists in a Manhattan salon in 2004. She
was warned by a judge in March 2007 that she would be sent to prison for a year
if she got into any trouble with the law. Five months after the warning, Foxy
was sentenced and incarcerated (Sept. 7) for assaulting her neighbor.

Early conflicts in prison such as abusing a corrections
officer, physical altercations with fellow inmates and refusing to provide a
urine sample landed Foxy in the hole in the hole for misconduct. While she was
initially supposed to serve 76 days in solitary confinement, she was released
in 40 days for good behavior.

Now that she was released, Foxy is preparing her 4th
studio album entitled ‘Brooklyn’s Don Diva’. She is also in talks to have her own reality show, just like every other rapper.
