July 30, 2005: Foxy's Court Date Rescheduled
Foxy Brown's criminal trial, originally scheduled to begin Thursday, July 28, has been moved to August 5 at the request of Brown's attorney. The case stems from an August 2004 altercation between Foxy and two manicurists; the salon workers claim that Brown assaulted them following a payment dispute. This past May, Foxy rejected a prosecution plea offer and dismissed the manicurists' claims as a ploy to extort a celebrity.

In other news, Foxy's latest single continues to perform well on urban radio. "Come Fly With Me," the lead single from Brown's upcoming album, is steadily climbing the Billboard charts: this week, it occupies the #59 spot on the Rap and R&B Singles Chart. Black Roses, Brown's fourth solo LP, is still officially scheduled for an August 23 release, though the album will likely be pushed back to allow time to add finishing touches, film a music video, and launch a promotional campaign.
