Few have stories that rival Foxy Brown‘s.
And by the year’s end, her dedicated fans will get a front-row seat to that tale via her newly announced memoir.
One of the most revered female rappers of all-time, the GRAMMY-nominated performer (born Inga DeCarlo Fung Marchand) burst onto the scene in the mid-90’s (while still a teenager) and turned heads with her fiery delivery, lyrics, and equally sizzling sex appeal. Said appeal was one of many factors that led her to become the second and youngest female rapper to debut at #1 on the Billboard 200 with her 1999 hit album, ‘Chyna Doll.’
Those dizzying highs were followed by a series of highly publicized lows including legal woes and arrests, beefs with other artists, being booed on stage, and a battle with hearing loss.
These incidents and more have reportedly been documented via a Brown biography due this winter.

As seen above, the 42-year-old took to social media recently to announce “Book coming soon,” and even tagged former Editor-In-Chief of ‘The Source Magazine,’ Kim Osorio (who will partner with her for the release).
The book will hit shelves just a month after Brown’s longtime frienemy, Lil Kim, will drop her ‘Queen Bee’ memoir. Click here to read more about that.

I hope she knowledges the drug use that made her lose her hearing!
Oh really? Coming like that album that still hasn’t dropped?
Anyway, I would actually buy the book. She was a major part of 90’s hiphop. She helped set the bar for dope s*** femcees and deserves more credit. I know her story would be an interesting read.
Foxy Brown is the original Nicki Minaj. She is the original Lil’ Kim copycat. Foxy is only releasing her memoir in December because she knows Kim is releasing her’s a month earlier. Foxy is nothing without closely copying Kim, but it is a shame that Foxy remained local and Grammyless, and she couldn’t copy the international appeal and Grammy Award status of the Queen Bee. Nobody cares about Foxy Brown. Kim’s memoir is the one that everybody is going to read.
Why does everything have to be a competition? They both have different stories to tell. And Kim is not the first person to pen a memoir, nor is she the originator of everything in female hiphop. Truth be told, she was created by Biggie. Stop the bs and let em both do their thing.
Foxy and Kim are two of the best to do it. Too bad they allowed beef and b******* to cloud their friend/ kin ship.
