FOXY BROWN HATES HER OWN ALBUM?: Rapper reportedly fires manager days after release of 'Brooklyn Don Diva.'
*Allhiphop.com is reporting that Foxy Brown has fired her manager Chaz Williams over his handling of her newly-released album "Brooklyn's Don Diva."
Brown said the project was "compiled without her approval" while she was on lockdown in Rikers Island for violating her probation.
"I heard this CD in its entirety for the first time just days ago and was devastated," Brown told AllHipHop.com in a statement. "Riddled with grief over an album that was seemingly so carelessly orchestrated, I sat down with the president of Koch to come to a decision on how to make the best of this situation.
"In another phase of my life and career, I would have dealt with this situation with litigation, but for the benefit of my fans and in the wake of the profound spiritual cleansing I recently underwent in prison, I made the decision to settle our creative differences amicably. My fans have waited seven years for an in-store release and deserve my very best."
Williams, meanwhile, has confirmed that he is no longer Foxy's manager. During an interview on RockMeTV.com’s The Roundtable, the Black Hand Entertainment CEO said: "I no longer represent Foxy Brown. …I stayed with her throughout the prison situation. I was there through her whole incarceration. It was time for both of us to split and move on."
Brown says she intends to re-release "Brooklyn’s Don Diva" next month on Koch with "five new records, videos, publicity, mass marketing and promotion." She says it will serve as a "mixtape street album" that will precede her long-awaited fourth studio album "Black Roses."
"I am of a certain pedigree, and, I have an obligation to my fans to deliver the level of product my brand is accustomed to," continued Foxy. "In order to preserve my artistic integrity, the new release will have my stamp of approval and fingerprints all over it. Going independent was a great business decision and I believe Koch and I will deliver the biggest street album in female rap history."
