Rapper Foxy Brown was already in hot water with city probation officials early Saturday morning when she was mugged and beaten at an East New York housing project, a note left on her doorstep yesterday reveals.
According to the notice, dropped at the entrance to the hip-hop diva’s Fort Greene brownstone by probation officials at around 1 p.m. yesterday, Foxy – whose real name is Inga Marchand – was AWOL for a Friday sit-down with officials who are monitoring her.
“Dear Ms. Marchand,” read the note. “You failed to report to the probation department on 6/22/07 for a scheduled appointment. You are obliged to report . . . as directed as a condition of your probation.”
At around 5:30 a.m. Saturday near the Louis H. Pink Houses in East New York, Brown was yanked from her car, beaten and robbed of $500 cash, a hearing aid, credit cards and a Louis Vuitton bag, police said.
Brown denied that story when confronted by a Post reporter on Saturday.
A rep for Foxy yesterday told The Post yesterday that they weren’t cooperating with police simply because she got the bag back with all of her stuff.
“It wasn’t a robbery, as in she was robbed at gunpoint,” said Chaz Williams, CEO of Black Hand Entertainment. “Her bag was missing and she was concerned. She had a lot in her bag and a Black [American Express] Card, and the diamond ring, so she went to the cops. That’s what anyone would do.”
He said suspect Roshawn Anthony’s lawyer – who called Foxy a liar in court on Sunday – should seek a dismissal of the charges.
“[Brown] isn’t going to a grand jury. She’s not going to a courthouse. I don’t know what he’s talking about,” Williams said of attorney Clinton Hughes.
