Foxy misses court while in jail
Even while serving a one year sentence for a string of misdemeanors, rapper Foxy Brown missed a court date on Friday. Three times she was expected to get on a prison bus to attend a hearing in Manhattan, NY. The reasons cited as to why Brown failed to make the court date were due to her hair and make up not being ready, she didn't want to miss lunch and the third time she just refused to get on the bus. If the rapper born Inga Merchand is to object to going to the new court date, set for tomorrow the prosecutors on this case may file for a court order for the rapper to be cuffed and delivered to the court by the corrections officers.
