BROWN TO RELEASE NEW ALBUM DESPITE LEGAL WOES
Troubled rapper FOXY BROWN is making the most of her bad publicity following her recent jail spell and ongoing legal woes by releasing a new album.
Her Brooklyn’s Don Diva is to hit stores next week (13May08) less than a month after Brown, real name Inga Marchand, was released from New York’s Riker’s Island prison, where she served eight months for probation violations.
But she might not be a free woman when the new release hits stores - a New York judge has issued a warrant for her arrest, after she failed to turn up to court to face allegations of assault, in relation to an incident last year (07).
Brown is accused of hitting 25-year-old Arlene Raymond with her Blackberry cell phone in Brooklyn on 30 July (07), when a heated argument between the two got out of hand.
Raymond was taken to Brooklyn Hospital following the incident, and was treated for loose teeth and swelling around her lip and right eye.
Brown was subsequently charged with felony assault, menacing, harassment and criminal possession of a weapon when she turned herself into police. She was released on bail and pleaded not guilty to the counts in October (07).
But Brown failed to show for her latest court date at Brooklyn Criminal Court on Monday (05May08), and, as a result, a judge has called for the star’s arrest.
