FOXY BROWN STILL THE SAME

Despite serving a one year sentence in Rikers for assault and probation violation, a close friend of Foxy Brown maintains the rapper has changed a bit.


"If they release her today, she'll be back in a week," Geoffrey Davis, a friend of Foxy's, told the New York Post. Davis has visited the rapper at Rikers several times since she was locked up for violating her probation.

According to Davis, who is also an activist who runs a nonprofit, anti-violence organization in Brooklyn, Foxy can't change alone. He thinks the rapper needs professional help.

"I love her, and I have her best interests at heart, but I think she needs clinical help with anger management," he said.

Davis said he's tried to reach out to Foxy in vain, sharing his own experiences in dealing with anger and emotional distress.

After three incidents in October, including a shoving match with an inmate and a verbal tirade on a corrections officer, Foxy was thrown in the hole at Rikers. But the rapper only served 40 days in solitary of a 76 day sentence of segregation. She was released back into general population for good behavior. Yet Davis isn't moved.

"She has to deal with her attitude," he said.

Foxy is scheduled to be released in September of '08, and possibly sooner on good behavior.
