Foxy Brown has been in the news lately after her arrest and her recent concert at New York's B.B. Kings Bar & Grill. Foxy recently spoke to MTV about her concert and some comments she made that were mad towards Nicki Minaj. Read below to find out exactly what she had to say!
Foxy Brown insists there were no shots fired at Nicki Minaj. The Brooklyn veteran disputes claims she was dissing the Young Money MC during a recent show at Manhattan's B.B. King Blues Club & Grill. Brown says that, in fact, she thinks Minaj has been doing an exemplary job at navigating the music industry.
"What's funny, I actually applaud Nicki for it," said Foxy, who was accompanied by her manager earlier this week during a visit to the MTV News studio. "I think she's doing an incredible job of branding herself. When you're a boss bitch, you give it up. Send her a Chanel bag or something," she laughed. "If you're winning, you're wining. That's just how I see it."
When Foxy was asked whether she shared the same line of thinking as Lil' Kim, who believes that a rising female MC like Minaj should pay homage, Brown insisted, "I'm not caught up in that at all ... I'm not even in that category. I'm still one of the youngest female rappers in the game. [Other female rappers] may feel like that because they're older, but I myself am still young. I don't feel that. I applaud what she's doing.
As for Foxy's comments at her B.B. King's show over the weekend, Brown addressed her female rap counterparts mixing hip-hop and dancehall saying, "I'm the only rap bitch in the game that f--- with all hip-hop, all dancehall, and I'm the only bitch that can do that for real"
Brown told us that yes, she was referring to Nicki's Caribbean accent on the remix of Gyptian's "Hold You," but no, she wasn't throwing jabs.
" 'Cause everyone thought it was me on that dancehall record," Foxy explained. "It's something I created. That's something that had never been done before — hip-hop and dancehall together — until I did it. I didn't do it just to sell records. I didn't do it as a ploy or gimmick. My parents are from Trinidad. I'm Trinidadian. I'm West Indian. That is the music I grew up on. To incorporate that with hip-hop was the biggest thing ever.
"My ex-fiancé is Spragga Benz; [he] had the most amazing dancehall hook and we went crazy on it. I think anybody that does that after, [people will be like, 'Is that Fox?'] Then the little ad-libs [Nicki does on the song], 'whoa, whoa,' that's my trademark. People will start to question that and say, 'Was that Foxy?' But what I said onstage is what is said. I back up and stand behind everything I say two million percent: I am the only Trinny chick that can kick yard sh--."
Pamela Anderson Mad At Janet Jackson!Pamela Anderson has branded Janet Jackson "greedy" for signing up as the new face of a fur firm, calling the singer's backtrack on animal-rights issues "disappointing."
The superstar has teamed up with BlackGlama to model the brand's mink collection, and the move has infuriated activists at People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) who called Jackson "desperate" for accepting the contract.
Rihanna To Star In New Movie!After winning three Grammys, scoring seven #1 "Billboard" Hot 100 singles, and selling over 5.5 million albums in the U.S. -- all in only five years -- what is left for Rihanna to accomplish?
What about saving the world?
Variety announced on Monday that the 22-year-old singer will be making her movie debut in "Battleship," a big-screen adaptation of the Milton Bradley game. She will be joining Taylor Kitsch (TV's "Friday Night Lights") and Alexander Skarsgard ("True Blood") in the sci-fi action flick coming in May, 2012.
According to director Peter Berg ("Hancock"), the movie will pit the U.S. Navy against an invading alien force. He told LatinoReview.com the hero (played by Kitsch) is the captain of a destroyer, a 500-foot-long warship, with Skarsgard playing his brother. They are confronted by the alien armada and must engage in a battle for control of the Earth's seas.
There's no word yet as to the character Rihanna will be playing (or if she'll have to change her latest cherry-red hairstyle for one more in line with Naval regulations). She's not giving up on music, of course. At her concert in Los Angeles last week, she surprised fans by welcoming Eminem on stage to perform their song from his latest album. She'll be appearing in a new video with him (and reportedly also featuring Megan Fox) for the song "Love the Way You Lie" soon.
