Rapper Foxy Brown has been dumped by her lawyer, just days after her release from New York prison Riker's Island.

The rap star, real name Inga Marchand, learned her attorney, Fred Haddad, no longer wanted to deal with her.

He turned his back on her as a client in court on Wednesday according to internet reports.

Haddad was representing Brown in her misdemeanour battery trial over an incident that took place at a beauty supply store last year.

But he told Florida Judge Joel Lazarus he was withdrawing from the case because of "irreconcilable differences" with his client.

Haddad attacked Brown's handlers in court after learning they had brokered a plea deal with the state attorney's office behind his back.

He told Judge Lazarus: "I think the problem is she doesn't like me. I have a problem agreeing to a plea deal. I didn't negotiate this. I put a ton of work into this case."

Brown was released from Riker's Island on Friday after serving eight months of a year-long prison sentence for probation violations.
