We’re diving deep into the controversy surrounding Diddy and word is that Foxy Brown might soon break her silence. Foxy has stayed pretty quiet over the years, living a mostly reclusive life outside of the music industry. She was a pivotal figure in elevating women in rap, helping to put them at the top of the cultural food chain. Now it seems she’s ready to speak about what she knows. But the big question is—what could that be?
Let’s lay some groundwork. First, Foxy used to roll heavy with JAY-Z and Nas. Later, she had serious beef with Diddy and Lil Kim. This was during a time when violence, especially in New York Hip-Hop, was rampant and beefs were intense. Now, after all this time, she might be ready to talk.
I’m paraphrasing here, but in a private message, Foxy reportedly said, “My story will shock you to your core. I do not play the victim. But I had to step away for my sanity, or I would’ve been dead.”
The words “victim,” “sanity” and “dead” carry a lot of weight here. Who could possibly have victimized Foxy Brown? I’ll let you all chime in on that—drop your thoughts in the comments section. There’s one obvious name that comes to mind, but it’s also possible there are others. (We will get to that other name in a few…but keep reading.)
If we look back at her song “The Letter,” Foxy Brown reflects on her struggles and apologizes to her family for what she went through. Basically she talks about emerging victorious against all odds.
Here is what she says to her mother:
“And when the media said Foxy’s ill /You were there when this fame almost got me killed /When I was in the hospital, couldn’t stay still /Only you knew the reasons why I popped these pills.”
So, what do you all think?
The general consensus is that Foxy Brown has witnessed a lot but has never truly spoken out about it. In the age of disclosure, I think we’re on the verge of hearing a fresh narrative from people who were actually there. I’m not talking about the ones chasing clicks and likes, but the people who were in the rooms and know firsthand what went down.
SO, JAY-Z! I know you are wondering if she is going to expose Jigga Man! Y’all been calling for Jay’s head and it’s sad! Foxy said she’s not doing it.
