Jay-Z’s Ex-Protégé Shares Cryptic Posts After Child Rape Claims Surface

A former mentee of one of hip-hop’s most legendary stars has put out a puzzling series of online posts after he was accused of raping a minor more than twenty years ago.

Foxy Brown, 48, who got her first big break featuring on a Jay-Z track when she was just 16, uploaded a series of Instagram slides on Monday, the New York Post reports.

These followed the day after the billionaire rapper and business mogul was named in a lawsuit alleging he and fellow star Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs had sex with a 13-year-old girl after the 2000 MTV Video Music Awards.

“WOW,” the first slide read, followed by “WAIT” with a shocked emoji, and finally a standalone cold face emoji.

Brown, whose real name is Inga DeCarlo Fung Marchand, has often collaborated with Jay-Z, including on her debut 1996 album Ill Na Na, throughout her thirty-year career.

Earlier in October, she slammed long-running rumors their relationship had at one time been sexual as “fake news,” as well as conjecture she had been underage at the time and that Jay-Z had made her sign a non-disclosure agreement about it.

Carter has meanwhile ferociously denied any allegations of wrongdoing on his part as it pertains to the lawsuit leveled at Combs, describing them as a “blackmail attempt” by the defendant’s lawyer, Tony Buzbee.

“These allegations are so heinous in nature that I implore you to file a real criminal complaint, not a civil one!!” Carter wrote in a statement posted on Instagram.

“Whomever would commit such a crime against a minor should be locked away, would you not agree?” he added. “These alleged victims would deserve real justice if that were the case.”
