Hip-hop diva Foxy Brown is misunderstood: she says she did not take a mandatory drug test because she has poor hearing.

Foxy Brown has been given 11 weeks of solitary confinement, during which time she will spend 23 hours all alone in her cell each day and another hour outside the cell. During that one single hour she can have visits from her attorney or other visitors, exercise or spend time in the jail’s library.

Foxy was punished with solitary confinement after upsetting both guards and fellow inmates at Rikers Island prison. It was revealed earlier this week that the 28-year-old rapper occupied herself with a shoving match with another prisoner on Oct. 3, according to spokesman for the New York City Department of Correction. While neither woman suffered any injuries, they had to be forcibly removed.

Additionally, Foxy refused to take a mandatory drug test and was reportedly verbally abusive towards guards, the day following the shoving incident.

Her behavior has led the Department of Correction to review the situation, E! Online reported, and consequently order her temporary transfer from Rikers’ general population to “punitive segregation.”

Foxy’s manager, Chaz Williams (the same person that not so long ago denied speculation his client was pregnant) now claims that the whole thing is a misunderstanding.

He told Billboard.com: “Really she didn't hear the request. She has a battery-operated device and sometimes it dies out,” and added, “There was an incident where a girl attempted to confront her and she stood her ground, but there wasn't any contact. Words were exchanged and that was it.”

Nevertheless, the female prisoner Foxy had the shoving match with has been sentenced to 11 days of solitary confinement.

In late July, a female neighbor of Foxy’s filed a complaint against the singer, accusing the 28-year-old of having hit her with a BlackBerry, which caused a black eye, a swollen lip and loose teeth. This was violation of probation for Foxy, who had attacked two employees at a nail salon in 2004.

The following month, she violated her probation again, by traveling outside the state. At the same time, rumors appeared that she was three-months pregnant and engaged.

Manhattan Criminal Court Judge Melissa Jackson ruled that Foxy had been given plenty of second chances and sentenced her to 1 year behind bars for probation violation. Williams soon dismissed rumors of pregnancy: “To the pregnancy rumors, this is the official statement. She is not pregnant.”

She is releasing a new album though, titled “Brooklyn Don Diva,” via Koch Records.
