Foxy Brown Denies Making Jay-Z Claims
May 23rd
|
”Everyone Involved Will Be Contacted By My Attorney”
It was reported earlier this month that former Jay-Z protege Foxy Brown was planning to reveal secrets about the hip-hop superstar’s former life. Accusations included Jay spending lavishly on young Foxy early in her career, her contracting an STD from Jay and his supposed love of transexuals. But Foxy is now claiming that the entire report was false. She issued a statement to TMZ saying that someone fabricated everything. “The atrociousness of this story sickened me to my stomach. Any and everyone involved will be contacted by my attorney.” Foxy says, “In all my years in the music industry, these are the most disgusting and disrespectful allegations I’ve ever experienced. This fictitious story … with NO audio, visual or written interview, clearly was concocted with malicious intent.” “Jay has only been wonderful to me and my family, a great friend throughout all the years I’ve known him and we had nothing but great success as a team,” she added. “Beyonce, his wife, has always been gracious and sweet to me … I will NOT let any undercover hater create discord and disrespect my name and reputation.” |
Jay-Z’s Roc Nation Sports SIGNS New York Jets BALLER Geno Smith + Foxy Brown DENIES Bashing Jay-Z & Beyonce
May 23rd

New York Jets rookie Geno Smith is the latest high-profile athlete to join Jay-Z’s Roc Nation Sports. Get the deets inside and read what Foxy Brown said about rumors she bashed Jay-Z and Beyonce in an alleged industry tell-all.
After signing Tulsa Shock star Skylar Diggins and NY Yankees baller Robinson Cano, Jay-Z’s Roc Nation Sports has added New York Jets rookie Geno Smith to its rooster of talent. Roc Nation proudly tweeted the announcement earlier, "We would like to welcome @genosmith_12 to the #RocNationSports family!"
During an interview with the NY Daily News, Eugene revealed that Jay-Z only played a minor role in why he chose to sign with Roc Nation. He added that his primary focus is on playing football, not creating a certain "image".
“The only thing that’s important to be is the image that is perceived around this lockerroom, the guy that I am to my teammates, to my coaches and the work that I put in on the football field.. I’m all about football. I’m all about getting better and that’s the one thing that I’m focused on: Better myself daily and prepare myself to be there when the time comes.”
“I don’t worry about the outside world’s perception. I’m comfortable with who I am, strong in my faith. I know that this isn’t because of an image thing or trying to market myself. It’s just being comfortable with the guys who’s going to represent me. That’s ultimately why I made that decision.”
Congrats to Geno.
In other Jay-Z news….

Foxy Brown has denied rumors that she penned a tell-all biography bashing her mentor Jay-Z and his wife Beyonce.
In an interview with TMZ, Foxy shot down the false report (which claimed Jay gave her gonorrhea and took her virginity) saying,
"The atrociousness of this story sickened me to my stomach. Any and everyone involved will be contacted by my attorney. In all my years in the music industry, these are the most disgusting and disrespectful allegations I’ve ever experienced. This fictitious story … with NO audio, visual or written interview, clearly was concocted with malicious intent."
She continued,
"Jay has only been wonderful to me and my family, a great friend throughout all the years I’ve known him and we had nothing but great success as a team."
Foxy also disputed reports that she made distasteful comments about Jay’s wife Beyonce.
"Beyonce, his wife, has always been gracious and sweet to me … I will NOT let any undercover hater create discord and disrespect my name and reputation. This disrespect will NOT be tolerated."
Mind you….we never reported on any of the speculation surrounding the alleged Foxy Brown biography as there was never any credible proof presented. And now we know why….
Foxy Brown Says She Never Slandered Jay-Z Or Said He Took Her Virginity
May 23rd
Foxy Brown‘s career has come to the point where refuting salacious rumors about what she allegedly said about her Jay-Z is her latest news. A prior gossip site’s report said that the “Ill Na Na” rapper dished that Hova had partaken in gay sex and had even taken her virginity, while she was a minor.
However, the rapper born Inga Marchand is saying the gossip site in question, Mediatakeout, made it all up.
Says TMZ:
Foxy Brown is FURIOUS over reports she trashed Jay-Z … telling TMZ she NEVER referred to Hova as a gonorrhea-infected “tranny chaser” … and now she’s threatening to sue.
Brown is referencing a report that first appeared on MediaTakeOut — which says Foxy recently went to a baby shower and started dishing about Jay-Z’s sex life to one of the guests — saying he secretly engages in gay sex … and that she lost her virginity to him when she was 15 and he was 27.
There’s more … including allegations of a robbery, s-x tape and STDs.
But Foxy says the report is complete BS, telling TMZ … “The atrociousness of this story sickened me to my stomach. Any and everyone involved will be contacted by my attorney.”
Foxy says, “In all my years in the music industry, these are the most disgusting and disrespectful allegations I’ve ever experienced. This fictitious story … with NO audio, visual or written interview, clearly was concocted with malicious intent.”
“Jay has only been wonderful to me and my family, a great friend throughout all the years I’ve known him and we had nothing but great success as a team.”
She continues, “Beyonce, his wife, has always been gracious and sweet to me … I will NOT let any undercover hater create discord and disrespect my name and reputation.”
“This disrespect will NOT be tolerated.”

Rap-Up TV: Ludacris Talks ‘#IDGAF’ Mixtape, Chris Brown Collabos, & ‘Ludaversal’
May 23rd
Ludacris is back with his first project in three years, DTP Presents: I Don’t Give a Fuck. On the eve of its release, the Atlanta rapper-actor-businessman shared some insight into the star-studded set, which features Chris Brown, Young Jeezy, Mac Miller, Pusha T, French Montana, and more.
He explained why he decided to release a free mixtape at this point in his career. “Basically, I put this mixtape out as an appreciation for all the fans that’s been supporting me for over a decade,” Luda told Rap-Up TV.
Chris Brown is featured on two tracks including Da Internz-produced “Dancing Dirty.” “I feel like it’s a club record, I feel like it’s something women can appreciate,” he said. “I vibe in the studio so much with Chris Brown. We play each other so many records and there’s no method to the madness.”
He has also recorded a song called “Fantasy” for Breezy’s upcoming album X, but he’s unsure if it will make the cut.
Brown also makes an appearance on “Mad Fo” featuring Meek Mill, Swizz Beatz, and Pusha T. “That record is talking back to all the haters. What the hell are you really mad fo?” explained Luda.
He wanted to work with Mac Miller (“She’s a Trip”) because he respected his independent movement. “I love the fact that he had this underground following,” said Ludacris, who also got his start independently.
His eighth album Ludaversal is due later this year, while Fast & Furious 6 hits theaters Friday. But despite his success in Hollywood, music will always be Luda’s first love. “This mixtape is showing everybody how hungry I still am and that the music is still number one in my life regardless of how many movies I’ve shot.”

May 19th
By Rob Markman
Chris Brown has a string of memorable award show performances and on Sunday night (May 19), Breezy added another to his his collection when he took the stage at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas for the 2013 Billboard Music Awards.
With his forthcoming X album on the way, Brown used the opportunity to show off some pretty dope dance moves set to the LP’s first single “Fine China.” With an Asian-tuned backdrop Brown strutted up and down his elaborate stage wearing an all black suit. The Michael Jackson-inspired tune produced some pretty MJ-esque kick-steps and dance moves to match.
Brown did bring his own flavor to the stage however, most notably with his red glowing mic stand which he tossed back and forth while singing, “It’s alright, I’m not dangerous.”
Just like the “Fine China” vid, Brown told a story of forbidden love on stage and towards the end of his performance stopped the music and put on a choreographed kung-fu fight scene with some tough-looking back-up dancers. To close Breezy diddy-bopped to a rocked out guitar solo and disappeared behind a screen door before giving showing off a few more Jackson-inspired moves.
“MJ, I can honestly say he’s probably my greatest influence,” Brown told MTV News back in April. “Michael, he just set the foundation for every other artist to try to be great. … I’m inspired to be as great and just try to be the best Chris Brown I can be in the process.”
