Foxy Brown is one of the most popular and richest Rapper who was born on September 6, 1978 in Brooklyn, United States. Rapper and actress who was a part of the rap supergroup The Firm and is known as much for her extensive arrest record as she is for her music.
She has performed with Snoop Dogg.
In 1996, Brown released her debut album Ill Na Na to mixed reviews but strong sales. The album sold over 109,000 copies in the first week, and debuted at No. 7 on the Billboard 200 album charts. The album was heavily produced by Trackmasters, and featured guest appearances from Jay-Z, Blackstreet, Method Man, and Kid Capri. The album was platinum and launched two hit singles: “Get Me Home” (featuring Blackstreet) and “I’ll Be” (featuring Jay-Z).
While still a teenager, Brown won a talent contest in the Park Slope neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York. Members of the production team Trackmasters who were working on LL Cool J’s Mr. Smith album were in attendance that night and were impressed enough to invite Brown to rap over “I Shot Ya.” She followed this debut with appearances on several RIAA platinum and gold singles from other artists, including remixes of songs “You’re Makin’ Me High” by Toni Braxton. Brown was also featured on the soundtrack to the 1996 film The Nutty Professor, on the songs “Touch Me Tease Me” by Case and “Ain’t No Nigga” by Jay-Z. She became an instant sensation due to being very talented and rapping provocatively at such a young age. The immediate success led to a label bidding war at the beginning of 1996, and in March, Def Jam Records won and added the then 17-year-old rapper to their roster.
She was allegedly previously engaged to rapper Rick Ross. She was previously engaged to Spragga Benz.
