Former female rap mainstay Foxy Brown largely flies under the radar these days but apparently she’s still jet setting wherever there is a check and audience who will have her.
Unfortunately for the 37-year-old veteran artist from Brooklyn, her recent luck at the airport allegedly has her out of six-figures worth of valuables.
According to a passionate, all caps lock Instagram testimonial, Brown (born Inga Marchand) says she had just landed in California for her appearance at a Greater Palm SpringsLGBT Festival, when she noticed that a thief had gotten away some of her most prized possessions.

She later bigged herself up for her ability to persevere over all adversity.
“Still, (filled with ineffable fury) I could NOT disappoint my LGBT FANS; mustered the strength to perform and lit the stage! Airport security was immediately alerted and we’ve spoken to Detectives, but the THIEF who’s on CAMERA FOOTAGE is still on these streets!!! Material things can very well be replaced, but some items are true FOX VINTAGE and we’re horrified that a week later we have NO answers.”
Brown hasn’t released a studio album since 2001 and a mixtape since 2008 but the foundation she laid dating back to her mainstream debut Ill Na Na (which awarded her with a platinum at the age of 18) amounted to a loyal fanbase. Even when the musical hiatuses left her to her own devices. Her run-ins with the law have dominated her career timeline, most notably, being sentenced to a year in jail in 2007. (She only did a little over a month, however.)
