 Foxy Brown Foxy Brown was released from Rikers Island Friday morning after serving eight months of a yearlong sentence for a series of probation violations.
The 29-year-old hip-hop star, whose real name is Inga Marchand, had been locked up at the Rose M. Singer facility at the New York prison since October.
Police were present as Brown made the walk out of the compound to her waiting fleet of vehicles, taking time out to hug and take pictures with the scores of fans and well-wishers who had come to cheer her on. Several bore signs reading "Welcome home" and T-shirts stating "Free Foxy Brown."
Also present were Brown's mother, Judith Marchand, New York City councilman Charles Barron and a hair and makeup artist. For her walk to the car, the rowdy rapper changed into a brown leather jacket and wore a dotted scarf over her hair.
Brown eventually made her way into the backseat of a chauffeured white Rolls-Royce Phantom and was driven off with a caravan of security and paparazzi behind her. As for the rapper's future, she already has at least two projects lined up.
First up is filming on an untitled reality show that will chronicle her adjustment back into life as a free woman. Last week, her rep told Billboard she was in talks with several networks for the project, with VH1 reportedly the frontrunner.
Brown is also expected to make some promotional rounds in support of her oft-delayed new album, Brooklyn's Don Diva, due out May 13.
Her manager, Chaz Williams, told Billboard that his star client is eager and ready "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."
