[edit] Family roots

"...mixed black and Trinidadian descent..." The interview says "Asian and Trinidadian" descent, which is too vague to be specific. Assuming that she is a Trinidad Marchand, then you're looking at (at the very least) 150-200 years of mulatto ancestry. The "Asian" could be either Indian or Chinese - likely both. "multiracial" is the only meaningful term. Guettarda 17:39, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)

The Asian descent is Filipino, and as she states in another interview: "My father is Trinidadian and my mother is of Trinidadian descent".

How does Trini parents = Filipino??

Mostly likely Foxy probably has African and Indian heritage from India. If that is they case, what kind of Indian? Cause there are hundreds of differnt indian groups like Bengali or Telugu or whatever. By the way, Filipino is way off. That's what Jay-Z said. How the hell is that possible, you don't see any filipino in Foxy!!!

[edit] singles table, cleanup tag

The accuracy of the singles table is in question. Brown has had at least five Hot 100 entries and many more R&B chart hits, both as headlining and featured artist. Why in the world is there a table for singles filled with dashes? Listing the singles in plain text is one thing, but if we dont have all of Brown's chart statistics, why create a table? It's incomplete and unencyclopaedic. -- eo 19:40, 15 October 2005 (UTC) she is actually of black african decent and it cant be traced to the exact country though -- —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 87.127.234.98 (talk • contribs).

[edit] more cleanup - 2006 court dates?

did a major rework of this article again - removed lots of POV and formatting issues, etc. etc. I noticed several refernces to court dates that were to happen in early 2006, as well as her hearing surgeries. I haven't done a full internet search on the status of these, but if anyone has news, please add it with citations. -- eo 13:49, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Foxy Browns Birthday

According to Foxy Browns MySpace Account, she is still 26 years old. So she was born on 1979. http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=63520254

A Different World

[edit] Hotwine8

Was Foxy born in 1976 (IMDB), 1978 (former date on Wiki) or 1979 (current date)? Hotwine8 03:43, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Foxy info

I am a big Foxy Brown fan and alot of this info you people are putting is inaccurate. Her album sales: Ill Na Na, 1 million Chyna Doll, 1 million, Broken Silence, 600,000. Please stop changing it. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Br732 (talk • contribs). 08:05, July 26, 2006

[edit] Foxy Browns Year of Birth

She was never born on 1976 or 1978. She was born on 1979. She was rapping at age 17 going on 18 in 1997. - A Different World, Sunday, September 10, 2006. -> 12:02 AM

Foxy was born in 1978. See her police booking report [1] "DOB 9/6/78".

[edit] Trivia

Does anyone have a source for the following. There's no mention in the Enough Cryin article:

"Foxy Brown was originally slated to appear on Mary J. Blige's single "Enough Cryin" from her album The Breakthrough, but was replaced at the last minute with Blige reciting her verse instead. This was because Jay-Z wrote the lyrics, but Foxy didn't do the track the way he wanted her to. Cam'ron, who is beefing with Jay-Z, is rumored to address that on a future track."

[edit] Mugshot

Is it really necessary to have a person's mugshot in their article? 84.150.118.197 20:28, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Copyvio

The arrest section seems like a copyvio from wire reports; for example, [2]. Is there a reason the section shouldn't be deleted? -- Mikeblas 05:16, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

I removed the section, it seems obvious that it's indeed been plagiarized. TobiasS 18:32, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
