The NYPD has some interesting news about Foxy Brown that she wishes they wouldn’t spread around. Apparently, she got robbed for her purse, which contained her hearing aid, early Saturday at a housing project in Brooklyn’s East New York neighborhood. But did it really happen? Foxy Brown is shaking her head vigorously as the NYPD nods theirs. Who are we to believe? It was a Louis Vuitton purse with a hearing aid in it. Who else’s would it be?

Brown, reached outside her Brooklyn brownstone, laughed and dismissed reports that she’d been robbed. She called it “a false tip” as she packed up her white SUV to leave for Jamaica to begin a tour.

“I have friends all over Brooklyn but I was not there last night,” she said. “I just got back this morning from Miami.”

She added, “A lot of the time people mistake me for someone else or people always call in these false tips. I don’t know why. I guess it’s just part of being a celebrity.”

But the Brooklyn DA’s Office insists Brown was robbed, and her tormentor was charged with first-degree robbery, second-degree assault and criminal possession of a weapon.

It sounds like Foxy Brown really doesn’t want to have to explain what she was doing in East New York at 4 a.m. If that’s the case, then she shouldn’t wander around the projects alone with an ostentatious (I’m just guessing, here) purse on her arm. At the very least, she could have popped in the hearing aid so she could hear someone coming.
