She also has Chinese-Trinidadian roots.

She has two brothers: Pretty Boy and Anton Marchand. Foxy Brown grew up in the Park Slope section of Brooklyn and attended Brooklyn College Academy. Her parents got divorced when she was four years old. As a result, she and the rest of the family moved in with their maternal grandfather.

As a teenager, Foxy Brown began freestyling rap with her friends. She later adopted the stage name Foxy Brown and began performing at local hip-hop shows. 

Her professional career began when she was featured on a remix of LL Cool J‘s I Shot Ya in 1995. The following year, she released her debut album, Ill Na Na, which peaked at number 7 on the Billboard 200 chart. 

Personal Life

In 1997, Foxy Brown got engaged to Kurupt, a fellow rapper. However, in 1999 they got separated due to some unresolved circumstances. Later, in 2001, she got engaged to another rapper named Spragga Benz. She has a daughter named Baby C.

In 2000, she announced that she was suffering from depression. Foxy Brown subsequently entered drug rehabilitation at Cornell University Medical College to receive treatment for opioid addiction, stating that she could no longer record or perform without resorting to morphine.

In 2005, Foxy Brown reportedly suffered from hearing loss, which led her to wear a hearing aid, and while recording, she had some tap beats on her shoulder.

Foxy Brown was formerly married to Ricardo Brown (1999-2000). She once dated Rick Ross (2008), Spragga Benz (2001-2004), Maino, Akon, Jay-Z, DMX, Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, Nas, Benzino and Shyne.

She has also been rumored to date Tyson Beckford (2005), Allen Iverson and Ol’ Dirty Bastard.

Career

When she was a youngster, Foxy Brown won a talent contest in the Park Slope section of Brooklyn, New York. Members of the production team Trackmasters, who were working on LL Cool J‘s Mr. Smith album, were present and were sufficiently impressed to invite her to rap on I Shot Ya. 

She followed this debut with appearances on several RIAA platinum and gold singles from other artists, including song remixes. You’re Makin’ Me High by Toni Braxton.

Foxy Brown also appeared on the soundtrack for the 1996 film The Nutty Professor, performing on the songs Touch Me Tease Me by Case and Ain’t No Nigga by Jay-Z. She became an overnight sensation due to her extraordinary talent and provocative rapping at such a young age. 

Early in 1996, the rapper’s instant popularity sparked a label bidding war, and in March 1996, Def Jam Records triumphed and signed the then-17-year-old rapper to their catalog.

Foxy Brown launched her debut album Ill Na Na to strong sales in 1996. It debuted at No. 7 on the Billboard 200 album charts after selling over 128,000 copies in its first week of release. 

The album was produced mainly by Trackmasters and features Jay-Z, Backstreet Boys, Method Man, and Kid Capri as guest artists. Two successful singles were released from the platinum-certified album: Get Me Home (with Blackstreet) and I’ll Be (featuring Jay-Z).

Foxy Brown began recording in late 2004 after quitting Def Jam Recordings due to her disappointment about the shelved promotion of her studio album Ill Na Na 2: The Fever. She reconnected with Jay-Z months after participating in his Best of Both Worlds Tours.

After re-signing with Def Jam under his leadership, Foxy Brown and Jay-Z started working on Black Roses with production from The Neptunes, Kanye West, Timbaland, and Dave Kelly. 

Foxy Brown said that Barrington Levy, Dido, Luther Vandross, Mos Def, Baby Cham, Spragga Benz, Shyne, Big Daddy Kane, Rakim, KRS-One, Roxanne Shante, and Jay-Z would all make appearances on the album, but it wasn’t clear if all of them would be on the final version.

Foxy Brown left Def Jam for the second time after she lost her hearing and had to push back the release of her album. She started her record label, called Black Rose Entertainment, and Koch Records became its distributor. 

Foxy Brown says that between 2004 and 2007, she recorded enough songs for two albums and planned to put some of them on her street album, Brooklyn’s Don Diva.
