Foxy Brown to be released from jail next week
13/4/2008 12:20

US Rapper Foxy Brown will be freed from jail on April 18, after being incarcerated in New York's notorious Riker's Island prison for eight months, media reported today.

Brown's manager Chaz Williams has confirmed the 31-year-old will be freed next week, after a less-than-pleasant time locked up.

He tells Billboard.com, "She did every single minute of her bid in jail, and she did it under the most severe conditions. They had her on continuous lockdown just because she is a celebrity. They were trying to break her spirit."

Upon her release, Brown will prepare for the release of her oft-delayed album, "Brooklyn's Don Diva," now due May 13.

She is also in talks with a couple of television networks for a potential documentary and reality show on her life.

"She's going to get on top of her career again. She's ready to hit the ground running and do anything she needs to do to get her career back on point," Williams said.

Brwon, born Inga Marchand, was handed a 12-month sentence for breaking parole conditions.

Her attempts to secure an early release in January failed when a judge rejected her claims she needed treatment in Los Angeles for an ongoing ear condition.
