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".

Lately why'know how that sayin' goes
"Be careful what you ask for in life
'Cause you just might get it"
Dependin' on what you ask for
What you get you might now be able to get out it
You heard? Ughh
Niggas might take advantage if you let 'em (ughh)
Make sure that he don't snitch must be up to sumpin'
Or might be lyin' on his dick, shit
You know how niggas flip from gettin' pussy
The head, 'til you spit yo bread and blew his dick
Especially if he trip, shit
Don't complain, bitch, do your thang
And cop that range (ughh)
When he hit you with that game
You be like "A'ight, dude, whatever"
And sleep on it, put like a week on it
Get the Benz Jeep and creep on it
Do you, like, yeah, faggot, screw you
What the fuck am I to do now?
Just lay back, like I'm that lame bitch, dude
I'm that same bitch (uh huh)
Don't you know? Never cross no ho
Especially if she was Wifee and she know where that stands go
Fuck you wildin' fo'?
Who you stylin' fo'?
And the truth is
He fuckin' with the deuce kid (ughh)
He don't know that I stick a move
Get him wife for that Chyna White
Nothing to lose, and I see right through him
Yeah, we fuckin' tonight
In the Duque, what he gawkin' and I'm truckin' tonight
And if he sweet with the big ones,
I'm lucky tonight
And if he packin' like he yappin',
