Foxy Speaks On Lil Kim

Last week rumors began circulating that rapper Foxy Brown had found herself in a bit of trouble during an after-party for Fashion week. According to reports, she showed up intoxicated, locked herself in the bathroom and had to be escorted out by security.
Although Foxy claims the story is untrue, it gave her enough buzz to begin promoting her new double album “Black Roses”.

She recently sat down with Billboard and not only gave up the goods on what really happened at that after-party, but weighed in, heavily, on Black Friday and Lil Kim’s hostility towards Nicki Minaj.

On Lil Kim’s Animosity Towards Nicki
Had she let the people say, “Oh [Nicki], you’re trying to be Kim, you’re a fake Kim,” then it doesn’t come directly from her. But when you’re using that as a platform to bring your new album out, that’s like, “Oh my God, wait a minute.” I don’t condone it at all; I don’t think it’s cute.

Nicki clearly drew from both Kim and me. And she hasn’t been disrespectfulto me in any way — I haven’t heard her be disrespectful toward anybody else but Kim. And at some point, it’s like, O.K., Kim, you’ve had a problem with Foxy, you’ve had a problem with Nicki, you’ve had a problem with Faith [Evans], with Charli [Baltimore], with everybody. It’s like, enough already. I choose to stay out of it. Put out great music, and that’s that.

Of course, people everywhere clearly are saying, “She wants to be Foxy, she wants to be Kim.” Everybody’s going to say that. But do I think she’s doing an incredible job at branding herself? Yes, I do. When you’re an icon in the music business…like Mary J. Blige. Keyshia Cole came out after her, [but] you didn’t hear Mary J. Blige starting a beef with her just because they compared [Keyshia to] her. Mary J. Blige stayed clean. She does what she does, and I do what I do.

On the Fashion After-Party Rumors

I don’t know how any rumors got started. Indashio is a personal friend of mine — I’m his biggest supporter, he’s my biggest supporter…It was all about me coming to support one of my closest friends in fashion. They’re saying I was physically escorted out of the building by security, that I had this huge fight, I was intoxicated, falling all over. And there’s not one picture, one photo from any of the club-goers, nothing. Not only that — it took six days for this quote-unquote “breaking story” to surface? Does that make sense?

On Her New Album
The new album! “Black Roses.” I’m in the studio every night, slaving. It’s going to be the first double CD from any female rapper in history, so it’s going to be really big. One side is going to be straight hip-hop and hardcore records, and a couple big radio joints, and then the other side is dancehall rock… I personally want it to drop around August or September.

In my humble opinion, Foxy going at Lil Kim on the “Massacre” was just as foolish as the whole Lil Kim/ Nicki Minaj beef. I hope these girls straighten up and start putting out some good music.
