She is known for her solo work as well as numerous collaborations and a brief stint as part of hip-hop supergroup The Firm. Brown has faced many obstacles during her rise to fame, including feuds with other rappers, personal tragedy and run-ins with the law, thus being labeled as one of the more controversial female rappers. She has released four solo albums: 1996's Ill Na Na, 1999's Chyna Doll, 2001's Broken Silence, 2003's Ill Na Na 2: The Fever and 2008's Brooklyn's Don Diva. After a bitter split with her record label Def Jam in 2003, Brown ended up in label limbo. In 2004, childhood friend and collaborator Jay-Z resigned Brown to Def Jam and his Rocafella Records label, when he became the President of Def Jam Records. Foxy later split with Def Jam once again to go independent with Black Hand Management.

In 1999, Foxy Brown made history as the first female rapper to have a number 1 album with Chyna Doll selling over 173,000 copies in the first week.

In 2005, while in the midst of recording her studio album Black Roses, Brown faced another hardship when she was diagnosed with sensorineural hearing loss. The hearing impairment took 100% of Brown's hearing, but 20% was restored after an operation to repair it. After her fifth surgery Foxy regained 99.9% of her hearing.

Following a relatively quiet career period which coincided with an eight month jail sentence in 2008, Foxy continued to record the long in-progress Black Roses with a projected release date of late 2010. Ultimately, Black Roses was never released.

In 2018, after years of hiatus, Brown was a featured artist on Nicki Minaj's fourth studio album Queen on the track "Coco Chanel".

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Foxy Brown's song "Baby Mother" are a dialogue between Foxy Brown and her ex-boyfriend's new girlfriend, who identifies herself as his baby mother. The conversation starts with a phone ringing, and Foxy answers the call. However, the person on the other end hangs up. The phone rings again, and it is the so-called Baby Mother demanding to speak to Foxy's man. Foxy asks who is calling, and the woman identifies herself as the Baby Mother, and tells Foxy to put her man on the phone. Foxy expresses her disbelief at being woken up at 4:00am and insults the woman's hygiene. The Baby Mother then threatens Foxy with violence and tries to intimidate her with the suggestion that she can take away all of her man's possessions. Foxy remains unbothered and tells her that the man is not claiming any association with her. The call ends with Foxy hanging up the phone.

The lyrics depict the bitter rivalry that can exist between ex-lovers and their new partners. The angry exchange shows that the Baby Mother is jealous of Foxy's relationship with her ex and perhaps feels rejected or threatened. Foxy, on the other hand, seems to be resigned to the situation and unconcerned about the woman's threats. The dialogue highlights the destructive nature of jealousy and shows how it can lead to anger and hostility.
