U.S. rapper Foxy Brown was freed from a New York City prison Friday after serving eight months of a one-year sentence stemming from an assault of two nail salon stylists over a $20 manicure.
Brown, 29, whose real name is Inga Marchand, was sentenced to three years’ probation in October 2006 for assaulting the stylists. But in September 2007, a judge ruled she was not taking probation seriously and sent her to prison for one year.
Brown became the first female rap artist to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, the U.S. pop chart encompassing all styles of music, with her 1999 album “Chyna Doll.”
