Foxy Brown Is a Diva, Doesn’t Attend Her Own Gig

Foxy Brown, known both for her music and for her highly flammable temperament, has canceled a recent show after she decided she was not happy with the car that was sent to pick her up.

TMZ informs that Foxy was supposed to perform at a bar in Manhattan the other week and, despite the fact that organizers had paid her and promoted her appearance, she failed to show up.

Eventually, it emerged that she was not happy with her ride and was refusing to come – which could actually land her in legal trouble as organizers are now considering suing her.

“Foxy was scheduled to perform at Splash Bar New York in Manhattan on Wednesday night, but the promoters of the gig tell TMZ they got an angry call from Foxy’s people that night when the car they sent to pick her up arrived,” TMZ reports.

The ride, it would seem, did not fit Foxy’s requirements, as it was a one year old edition.

“Seems Foxy had requested a 2010 model SUV, but instead she got a 2009. It’s odd she would care about what year the car was... since she hasn’t had a hit since 1998,” TMZ notes with irony.

However, perhaps in a sign of good faith, the rapper eventually agreed to go in the car made available to her – but, by that time, it was already too late.

“We’re told Foxy eventually gave in... but showed up at the club only 30 minutes before closing. Foxy never took the stage – claiming the promoters refused to pay her the other half of her $1,000 appearance fee,” TMZ says.

A publicist for Foxy insists that was truly the case: the promoters had refused to fulfill contractual obligations by paying her.

“They promised they would give her the rest of the deposit and balance due when she arrived, but did not! Foxy was disappointed that the deposit and rider requirements were not met, that was all,” the rep says for the same media outlet.

At the same time, the club owners are “discussing their legal options” and could sue for damages for breach of contract, TMZ goes on to say.
