Foxy Brown is set to reveal the fierce record label battle that defined her career in her upcoming documentary.
In 1995, Foxy Brown found herself at the center of what she calls the “biggest bidding war in rap history.” Four heavyweight CEOs were in a heated contest to sign her, making it an exciting time in the rap industry. According to Foxy, the ‘war’ was a wild affair involving Russell Simmons, Puff Daddy, Jimmy Iovine, and Sylvia Rhone.
Taking to Instagram, Foxy, affectionately known as Fox Boogie, shared her memories of the intense competition. Her team had mixed opinions: Don Pooh and her brother Gav leaned towards Bad Boy, while Eric Nicks and Ant were vying for Jimmy. However, it was Clark Kent’s vote for Russell Simmons that she listened to, drawn by the additional incentive of having JAY-Z signed as well.
Foxy’s documentary promises to delve into these electrifying moments, and she couldn’t hide her excitement about working with producer Tracey Edmonds. “Love you big sis! This documentary tho Trace! Sheesh!” she posted, signaling a thrilling project on the horizon.
While fans eagerly anticipate this insider look at her career moves, Foxy has also been clearing the air on longstanding rumors. These include allegations of an underage relationship with JAY-Z and a non-disclosure agreement purportedly enforced by Roc Nation. Foxy, however, has dismissed these as “fake news,” asserting that no one can silence her story.
She took to social media to express her unabashed stance, declaring, “NDA? Ain’t a MF alive that could stop my story. NDA on my shit gon run 100 mil.” It’s clear that Foxy is intent on preserving her narrative, free from the sway of rumors and allegations.
Criticism reached fever pitch when Nas’s track “Ether” implied a questionable past between Foxy and JAY-Z. Despite such claims, Foxy insists that their relationship was strictly professional and respectful. “Jay has only been wonderful to me and my family,” she affirmed, challenging anyone to prove otherwise.
Foxy Brown’s documentary is set to offer a gripping retelling of the most intense bid for an artist in rap history, while also candidly addressing the rumors and misconceptions about her past.
