While speaking about the female rapper’s upcoming memoir on a recent episode of her daytime TV talk show, Wendy Williams alleged that Foxy Brown and Jay-Z had a romantic relationship back in the day.
The rapper announced that her book was on the way and would be released at the end of this year via her Instagram Stories last week. As per the details shared, it’ll be co-written by Kim Osario, the former Editor-In-Chief of The Source Magazine.
“Foxy Brown has a memoir coming out in December,” Williams said last Wednesday (June 16). “You might not care… [The book] is calling upon the most controversial moments of her history and life and hip-hop and so on and so forth. Kim [Osorio], please don’t be weak with this writing. Please — if you’re gonna tell it, tell it good.”
“Foxy is very open about her life, you know she’s still dealing with her hearing,” the host said referencing Brown’s ongoing recovery from a year of deafness that she experienced back in 2005. According to Williams, the situation has made the rapper “apprehensive” about returning to the stage.
“But I remember when Foxy and Jay-Z had ‘I’ll Be’ — Foxy was the star of that,” Williams later added. Speaking on the inside scoop she had about when the two rappers were supposedly an item — while throwing a little shade — the host continued, “[Jay-Z and Foxy Brown were] allegedly a romantical thing. Alright, I’ll say alleged but we know, we know. Yeah, she hit it before Beyoncé! Allegedly. Mhm.”
“This is not necessarily a book that I would read,” Williams concluded about Brown’s upcoming read. “But this is a book that I would hear on tape. The thing is that Foxy can’t do her book on tape [due to her hearing issues]. But get somebody to put this book on tape!”
Are y’all with Williams on this one? Will you be reading Brown’s book when it drops?

Jazmine Sullivan took to social media to blast a Macy’s employee after saying she experienced a racist encounter while checking out. The “Pick Up Your Feelings” singer found it ironic that even on Juneteenth she had an experience with racism. On her Instagram story, she said that while shopping at Macy’s, a store employee made an error and instead of correcting it, the cashier, who she accused of being racist, refused to be helpful.
“Wow to look racism in the eye, and especially on Juneteenth was a wakeup call,” she wrote. “Mary King at Willowgrove Macy’s look of disgust while ringing up my boyfriend’s mother will forever be etched in my mind. An honest mistake {the store’s mistake btw] should’ve been met with understanding and kindness. But if you’re prejudice and prejudge people as soon as they walk up to the register then that’s obviously too much to ask. Newsflash Mary…Black people got money, good jobs and ain’t tryna get over on your boy cut frumpy looking racist a**.”
Sullivan added that a Black employee tried to fix the issue but King was not obliging.
“Thank God for the Black employee who tried to rectify the situation (that u didn’t listen too. I wonder why u didn’t take her advice Mary?) This coulda went a whole different way.”

Juneteenth was officially made into a federal holiday on June 17, 2021 when President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris signed the Juneteenth National Independence Day Act. Juneteenth marks the day that slaves in Galveston, Texas were notified of slavery’s abolition. It was abolished on January 1, 1863 when Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation but it wasn’t until June 19, 1865 that General Gordon Granger in Galveston, Texas issued General Order No. 3 letting the slaves know that they were free.
