After serving eight months of a one year sentence in a New York prison, Foxy Brown was officially released on April 18 at approximately 12:45 p.m.
Before jumping into a white Rolls Royce Phantom and leading a caravan of cars away, Foxy (born Inga Marchand) greeted the fans, media and well-wishers who waited outside the jail. She embraced many of the bystanders and offered thanks.
"This is a big day for me," Brown told SOHH. "To have everybody here that I love, my whole family, the whole Brooklyn, the officers that took care of me at Rikers. Eight months to the day, I remember going in in August and I said when I come out, I'm coming out even better. And I'm back baby, it's a wrap."
Foxy's manager and Black Hand Entertainment CEO, Chazz Williams, who was on the scene today told SOHH, "It's a beautiful day. I was out here when she went in and I'm here when she's coming out. You can expect big things from her and we won't be walking this path again any time soon."
In a prior interview Williams explained the rapper's release to SOHH, "She is not getting out early. Foxy served her entire sentence [under] good time, that is, days deducted by the law that every prisoner gets unless it's procedurally taken [away] for breaking prison rules."
As SOHH previously reported, the Brooklyn-bred rapper was sentenced to a year in New York's Riker's Island after violating her probation in connection with a 2004 assault charge.
Foxy was on probation for assaulting two manicurists in a Manhattan salon in 2004. She was warned by a judge in March 2007 that she would be sent to prison for a year if she got into any trouble with the law.
Five months after the warning, Foxy was sentenced and incarcerated (Sept. 7) for assaulting her neighbor, Arleen Raymond.
Early conflicts while in prison such as physical altercations with fellow inmates, verbally abusing a corrections officer and refusing to provide a urine sample, landed Foxy in the hole for misconduct. While she was initially supposed to serve 76 days in solitary confinement, she was released in 40 days for good behavior.
With her release, Foxy's focus is now on her fourth studio album Brooklyn's Don Diva. The album, her first with Black Rose Entertainment/Koch Records, was supposed to drop on February 5th, but was pushed back to await the rapper's release.
As for her rumored VH1 reality series, Willaims said, "We are in talks with a number of networks and film studios regarding new opportunities."
Brooklyn's Don Diva is scheduled to be released on May 13.
