Foxy Brown Goes Ballistic, Arrested in Florida

Rapper Foxy Brown was arrested in a Florida beauty supplies shop for causing an alleged disturbance, police said. Foxy supposedly had a little tantrum - “in which she allegedly spit, swore and sprayed glue at a South Florida shopkeeper,” according to the NY Daily News.

She was charged with battery and obstruction of justice in the alleged altercation, the Miami Herald said in a February 16th statement.

Brown, 28, was on probation at the time of the incident for an occurrence all too similar. She was found guilty of clubbing two Manhattan nail salon workers with her phone over a $20 pedicure in 2004.

The latest rampage took place at the Queen Beauty Supply shop in Pembroke Pines, Fla., where she and a friend allegedly got into it with store owner, Hayssam Ghoneim, because Brown was taking too much time in the ladies’ room fixing her hair-- as the store was supposed to be closing.

“She was screaming, ‘I have to finish my hair,’” Ghoneim told the Miami Herald.

“This is not a beauty salon,” the owner said he told the women. “It’s a store and you have to leave.”

As a result of these comments, Ghoneim said he was “met with a spit-flying fury from the notoriously feisty Brown.”

“It was the F-word, and the M-word and the A-word,” Ghoneim said.

Brown continued by squirting Ghoneim with hair extensions glue. Order was finally restored when a Pembroke Pines police officer said he was “forced to utilize a takedown maneuver” to gain control of the rapper. Even then, Ghoneim said, Brown kept screaming.

“I’m gonna get people to get you and your store - you better be careful!” Brown yelled, according to Ghoneim.

Neither Brown’s attorney, nor her representative were available to comment on the matter.
