Foxy Brown Finds God, Ditches The Diva

Foxy Brown has found religion and ditched her diva attitude, according to the star's lawyer.

Foxy - who is currently serving a year behind bars for probation violation - is keen to quash claims made by a family friend that she has been acting up in jail.

The rapper swapped jewellery for a smart suit for her appearance in a New York court on Monday - and insisted her spell in jail has humbled her.

And her attorney, State Senator John Sampson, claims the rapper has found solace in religion.

He told the New York Post after Monday's hearing, "(Foxy) told me, 'Sometimes God has to humble you in order for you to realise who you actually are.

"When you get away from the glitz and glamour, you can find inner peace within yourself."

Foxy was placed in solitary confinement in October after she was involved in a brawl with another inmate.
