Foxy Brown was just a teenager when she met and was signed to Russell Simmons company, Def Jam Recordings. Recently, Simmons has been accused of sexually assaulting several women and since then has parted ways with some of his companies. Brown recently spoke out in support of Simmons and wants people to know how great of a man he is.
On Instagram she wrote, An open letter……….đ Attesting to the character of the man who, as a teenager saved my life. Salaciousness and scandal garners headlines. Cowards cower, during times of tumult. But as inarguably, Russellâs biggest Def Jam female protege, (who birthed an era of overtly evocative stars), the man Iâve known and loved,was nothing more than the respectful, respected, gentleman and GODFATHER OF HIP-HOP weâve all adored.In staunch support, Praying for you Russ!đLetâs send our LOVE.â¤Fox @unclerush.â
