And so it turns out that Foxy Brown was telling the truth. With all the things that the petulant rap star has gotten herself into over the last decade or so, it was very easy to add this to the list of “Damn Fox, where’s the bottom?”

Last week, The Urban Daily reported another tantrum from Foxy, immediately following Chris Brown’s GMA tantrum, on a cruise ship which hosted celebrity radio jock Tom Joyner’s Fantastic Voyage Cruise. According to reports, including a radio show segment from Joyner himself, Brown had caused enough of a stir on the ship (wilding out on the ship’s nail salon after she was late for an appointment and couldn’t be accommodated) that she was forced to remain in her quarters and was expelled from the ship. It’s not like there isn’t an existing history of Foxy getting busy in a nail salon.

Foxy Brown Gets Kicked Off Fantastic Voyage

Foxy denied those expulsion reports, to which a collective hood Zeitgeist said, “Yeah right!” Now it seems that Foxy was telling the truth and that she wasn’t forced off the ship, she was scheduled to de-board. After telling the whole world that he had Foxy kicked off, and putting her on blast, now admits that while she did indeed spaz, she was not thrown off the cruise and that it was a scheduled stop for Foxy.

Foxy Brown Was NOT Kicked Off Cruise, Tom Joyner Apologizes

God knows we don’t need any reason to marvel at how Foxy can blow up at any given moment. For Tom Joyner to add sauce to the story like that, it reduces his credibility. It’s not like a barbershop story where you’re exaggerating how fine that woman was at the bar, or shaving your golf handicap. It’s someone’s life, and reputation and consequently their ability to feed themselves. Foxy isn’t an angel but a veteran like Joyner knows better than that.

At this point we don’t know how much of the report is actually true, or what was made up or thrown out. You would think that Joyner knows what’s going on with his own cruise. But in this world of fast-hitting media, where getting it up is more important than getting it right, the headlines grab all  the attention and the retractions and “my bads” go pretty much unheeded…or make more headlines. There are no repercussions for these situations.

How could five days lead to such a drastic change of reports? On Friday it was man we had to throw her ass off the boat. On the following Wednesday it’s well, we didn’t throw her off the boat, she was supposed to get off, but she was wilding. I don’t pretend to know the motivations of these people and I can’t rememebr the last time Foxy was in the news for her music (we did cover her concert last year). But things like this only reduce journalism to gossip and extends the shelf life of people for all the wrong reasons.
