Foxy Brown has a documentary in the works, and it will put a spotlight on the bidding war that ensued when record labels were trying to sign her in 1995.
Taking to her Instagram Story on Monday (October 28), Fox Boogie reflected on the “biggest bidding war in rap history” as she explained why she eventually went with Def Jam.

Earlier this month, Foxy Brown addressed long-running rumors that she had sex with JAY-Z when she was underage.
The pioneering female MC shut down the speculation in a series of posts on social media, also denying claims that she was forced to sign an NDA by the Roc Nation boss.

Foxy continued: “Y’all want me to be anti-Hov so bad.”
Rumors that the former Def Jam labelmaters had an inappropriate sexual relationship largely stem from a line on Nas‘ infamous diss track “Ether” where he rapped: “Foxy got you hot ’cause you kept your face in her puss/ What you think, you getting girls now ’cause of your looks?”
There was also speculation years later that Foxy lost her virginity to the rap legend and caught an STD in the process, but she later denied the claims.
The “Ill Na Na” rapper told TMZ: “The atrociousness of this story sickened me to my stomach. Any and everyone involved will be contacted by my attorney.

“In all my years in the music industry, these are the most disgusting and disrespectful allegations I’ve ever experienced. This fictitious story … with NO audio, visual or written interview, clearly was concocted with malicious intent.”
Foxy added: “Jay has only been wonderful to me and my family, a great friend throughout all the years I’ve known him and we had nothing but great success as a team. The disrespect will not be tolerated.”
