: NEW YORK - Jail officials will not need to make maternity accommodations for Foxy Brown — her manager says the rapper isn't pregnant, despite her lawyer's courtroom contention that she was.
The revelation came Wednesday as her manager and Koch Records announced that Brown would release a new album while serving a one-year jail sentence.
Brown, who hasn't released an album since 2001's "Broken Silence," was sentenced Friday to one year in jail for violating probation that stemmed from a fight with two manicurists in a New York City nail salon three years ago.
In August, defense lawyers told the court that Brown was three months pregnant. But in a statement released Wednesday, her manager, Chaz Williams, said: "And to the pregnancy rumors, this is the official statement: She is not pregnant."
Brown herself didn't address the issue of pregnancy in her statement about her new album, "Brooklyn's Don Diva," which is set for release Nov. 20. Her new single, "Don't Surrender," will be released to radio stations Thursday, Giovanna Melchiorre, a representative for the independent Koch Records, said.
"This is just a temporary situation," Brown said in a statement. "I made my bed and have no problem lying in it. My will is steady. What doesn't kill me will only make me stronger."
Brown, whose real name is Inga Marchand, was arrested last month in the New York City borough of Brooklyn on charges of hitting a woman with a cell phone when the pair fought over the music volume from Brown's car stereo. Her other violations include leaving the state without permission and dropping court-ordered anger management sessions with a psychologist.
"I visited Foxy at (Riker's Island prison) the day after sentencing, and her spirits were high," Williams said. "I expected nothing less. I was in court at sentencing and she didn't blink an eye. She's a strong girl."
Before Friday's hearing began, Brown asked Criminal Court Judge Melissa Jackson for a second chance and promised to straighten out her life. But Jackson didn't budge.
"I'm not going to give you any more chances," she told Brown.
Williams downplayed the ruling.
"I'm sorry Miss Jackson, we're not impressed, and definitely not stopping musically," he said.
To lie about being pregnant to get out of jail is stupid. What was she planning to do? Tape pillows to her tommy and pretend to be pregnant; fake a miscarriage or actually try and get pregnant hoping nobody will notice that the baby would be born three months late. Grow some brains and dignity you silly cow!!! YOu did the crime so do the time.
This is just sad. Any chance of some type of liency on behalf of this chick just went out the door! Where in the hell are the people in her camp???? Who's advising her?? Or did she manage to burn bridges to the point of no return?? @butch31...just cuz it's black don't mean I'm going to support you "real talk"! I mean come on...the girls attitude is so nasty. I've been in her company and trust when I tell you...her energy is a pile of ***! She's nasty in and out and if she isn't she's not going to let a complete stranger such as myself or you for that matter in. Unlike Kim...she doesn't embrace her fans. I am a true believer of Karma. The energy you put out is the energy that you will receive. Maybe this time away will have her humbled. I hear you on the negativity but that *** was brought on by none but herself. I am not rallying for a chick that lies about her pregnancy, that's trying to make a name for herself by screaming on people and throwing tantruns. I'll rally for the Jena 6 studenst, the young lady in West Virginia that was held captive and sexually assaulted by the white family that used racial epithets and *** near killed her...but Foxy's hot ***...puhleez!
f*ck Foxy Brown and her nasty ghetto ***..she had so many opportunities and she sh*tted on them..how do you go from being Jay and Nas's protegee, to being a washed up hag who throws cell phones at people because she doesnt want to pay 15.99 for a pedicure..what a f*ckin waste..there are people out there who would have killed for the chance that she was given, instead, she plays the diva role, burned bridges and thew her career away..she needs jail time to think about what her life has become..and I knew from day one that this b*tch wasnt pregnant..shes a scheming, low life broad who needs Jesus or a good *** whopping..dont drop the soap Fox!!!!!!
all ya need to get off her *** let a *** breathe.. i mean yeah she probally lied and all of this but u noe what oh well i jst hop eshe learned her *** lesson... and so *** what if she gained weight... ughhh all ya *** on here act lyke ya wana see a skinny chick all the *** time ***.. she actually looks better with her weight if u ask me.. and if she so much of a crackhead and ugely why did she pull spragga and don and kurupt think about... and she does think about her fansa non fan wouldnt noe because i met her my *** self!!!!!!!
@butch31...how are u going to ask me a *** question and turn around and answer it as well??? you need to check yoself cuz the bottom line is this...you can't do *** for her from where you sitting so with that said..*** up!getting all riled up over a *** Foxy Brown! And yes... and I'm sorry when were you ever in her *** presence to make any type of evaluation??? huh??? what??? oh never!
