In a brand new interview with Billboard.com, Foxy Brown talks about getting ready to release a double CD album (the first for a female rapper) and discusses the Nicki Minaj vs. Lil’ Kim feud happening as of late.
You also released the track “Massacre” last month, which addressed the Lil Kim-Nicki Minaj feud. What do you think about that situation?
Nicki has always been cool with me. She and I have something online I did for her — it was a video shoot with Lil Wayne and Rick Ross, [when] she wasn’t signed yet. And she was like, “Foxy is the first female artist who ever embraced me.” She was classy; she was articulate. I’m so proud of her.
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.
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 disrespectful to 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.

Sounds likes Foxy is keeping it classy..
i smell a record with Nicki & Foxy
I would love to put my pinga in Inga!
Foxy talk some of this sense to kim’s dumb ass.
This is why I love Foxy!!
Wow… not foxy being coherent and making sense! If only she could put her own career into perspective and put out some great music.
You know what I have always rode with Kim and Fox but Foxy you are talking stupid and obviously doesn’t know what she is talking about. Nicki talked about her in so many songs before she was signed making comments like her Jamaican accent is fake and blah blah blah. It kills me that Kim knows a fake whore when she sees it and Foxy is in denial. Maybe Foxy realizes that Nicki is better than her lyrically and thats why she not coming for her whereas KIm is Quen and she is defending her CROWN…..BLACK FRIDAY BITCHES
@Darren are you serious *BLANK STARE* i loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooove nicki to death!!!!!!! BUT a better rapper than FOXY!?!?!?!? dude go listen to the shit Foxy says, the ONLY female rapper that can hang wit foxy on some lyrical hardcore shit is Remy!!!!1 and that a fact!!!!!! you have lost ur mind Darren
This reminds me of when 50 hit the scene and all the rappers jumped on his dick. I fucks wit Kim for having the balls to go against the crowd and call people out on their bullshit and to respond to Nicki’s sneak shots at her. Everyone else is so intimidated by Nicki’s success that they scared to speak the truth. Kim is doin what any real hippo artist would do. And foxy knows she trying to get back on too and thats da only reason why she’s biggin up Minaj…”get off her tit & do u”
Foxy went to my high school in Coney Island. Teachers told me she was always in lunchroom spiting rhymes. But yeah, she keeps it real. Always liked her. Very humble.
Foxy humble? U must be on that shit Wayne on! The reason why her career went up in smoke is because of her super arrogant attitude. Foxy may be a lot of things but humble aint one of em.
She looks ok jumping out the mayback, where do she get money? The bitch stay in a fly toy
Maybe its just me, but i dont hear anybody comparing Nicki to Foxy.. i think she puttin her name in the mix to get in the news with something finally related to hip hop in stead of throwin phones and shit at assistants… ****sidebar**** job or no job, celebrity otr no celebrity, i wouldve fugged her ass up if she threw some damn phone and shit at me.. but anyway.. when she was out she was good, but i feel just like Kim, your time has come and gone and let the newer generation live.. im from Kim and Foxy generation and i know they were hot, but teenagers are ot fdeling no damn kim and foxy.. they want that barbie shit she be talkin…. Fox kim… let it go…
LMAO it aint jus you, I never heard nobody compare them either.
I herd it , jadakiss ! Plus that reggae track nikki sounds like foxy
You stupid if you can’t see nikki barrow from both these women’s .. big love to nikki tho ,, killing them on the charts
first time in years ive not heard foxxy sound like a crack-ish hood rat!!! good for her!!!! lol… someone on her pr team (if she still has one) must have told her she was getting nowhere like that!!! two pitty-pats on her back for some slight progress!!! (lol)
HER FENDI BAG IS ANCIENT
You know you’s a hot bitch when rap dudes go at you. Fox is a beast, hands down, Nicki is on top of her shit too. They both rockin!
