Foxy Brown Appears In Broward Courtroom

Rapper, Who Wears Hearing Aid, Has Difficulty Hearing Judge

POSTED: 1:21 pm EDT April 23, 2008

Rapper Foxy Brown was in a Fort Lauderdale courtroom Wednesday for a hearing stemming from her February 2007 arrest following a salon scuffle.

One of her attorneys asked to be withdrawn from the case because of a conflict he is having with other attorneys. That lawyer said he doesn't agree with a plea offer made by the state attorney's office.

Voices rose when Brown, who uses a hearing aid, had a difficult time hearing the judge.

"Do you agree that you have a conflict with (Brown's attorney)?" asked the judge.

"I can't hear him?" Brown replied.

"He said do you agree that we have a conflict," snapped the lawyer.

"Oh, well, I don't have a conflict with anyone," Brown said. "I just want proper representation."

"Who's going to be your lawyer, Ms. Marchand? Who are you going to hire?" the judge asked.

"What?" Brown said.

"Who are you going to hire?" her lawyer shouted back.

According to a Pembroke Pines arrest report, Brown was applying beauty products in the bathroom when a Queen Beauty Supply employee told her the business was closed and it was time to leave. She refused and threw hair glue at the employee, the report said. Brown then spat on the man as he called 911, staining his shirt, the report said.

Brown, whose real name is Inga Marchand, pleaded not guilty to charges of battery and resisting arrest. Her albums include "Ill Na Na" and "Chyna Doll."

She must now hire a new attorney and return to court two weeks from Wednesday.
