I don't think Mary was throwing Foxy shade. In fact, she included Foxy in the conversation quite a bit, even speaking directly to her in many cases.

[@swisschoklate736]

Mary was so mature even then and look now; who still relevant TODAY? Mary Jane Blige.

[@darkskinss]

I love how Foxy delivered her conversation here. She is and always so Brooklyn and well spoken. I live for when she talks about her album and Mary gets all into it.

It's so clear Mary referring to Diddy that wanna be the artist,manager,etc... Talking loud taking about do it again after I done it like 50,000 times 😂😂

[@noirjack7]

Yes! Everyone thinks she was shading Foxy but it was really Puffy and Faith.

[@condohatesme]

Yes!

[@Ronedymoore]

@Marcus Graham actually he was her Manager. He was her manager (along with Steve Lucas) during the My Life era.

[@RR-jt4ug]

@liteShado yep she is 😂😂😂

[@dusroots]

Wow!! I have a new found love for Foxy!! She is so articulate! Especially considering she's the youngest up there. She seemed hungry for knowledge.

When Missy mention the dabrat name foxy rolls her eyes made no eye contact .... remember when this came out I didn't pay attention to all the shade that was going on I was so young but I must say this is so entertaining missy keeps on making digs talking written her music 🎶😂😂😂

[@marcusrob02]

Ron Crowell Wait, DaBrat and Foxy had beef?! Goodness

[@MikeMike-ms4fj]

Ron Crowell Bitches always throwing shade at Foxy. I love Missi, kim and Mary but seems like they were jealous cause she’s chocolate, beautiful, young yet soo mature and she was the shit back in the day. It’s like they felt threatened but she wasn’t intimidated.

[@MikeMike-ms4fj]

roonie jones Nope foxy had a right to be there like everyone else. She’s beautiful and talented and she’s a legend. Though I do agree that her attitude sucks and I don’t like it but Kim was also insecure. Kim even admitted she was insecure in an interview. What started the beef between them any ways?

[@shokk40]

The eye roll literally didn't happen though...

[@drealtruthtella1826]

@@MikeMike-ms4fj you know nothing about hip hop lmaooo Kim was insecure when it came to men and how she would always get left for a light skin woman!!! Never insecure bout foxy !!! & they started beefing because foxy was stealing Kim wardrobe on tour and complaining about her set not long enough she started hating Kim cause kim started gaining attention !!! You like all the whack hoes that ruined they own career that ain’t poppin in 20 years Smfh

[@leechester6579]

I remember seeing the original program and I think it was like an hour long or so but anyway what I remember was Foxy Brown seemingly talking to hear the sound of her own voice Mary wasn't hating or purposely disagreeing...Foxy was just talking to be talking I think they were treating her like the little kid sister who thought she was grown...these women had been thru some things and Foxy was still growing....she was and IS smart but she was and IS hardheaded

[@reinaldoalvarado4884]

Lee Chester age means nothing. Foxy was hella mature for her age. Also the smartest in the panel none of them were seeing her in vocab or articulation.

[@wisediva9807]

[@MikeMike-ms4fj]

Lee Chester Sorry But Mary seems like a hater. She threw shade at foxy for no damn reason.

[@TheMrsilverscott]

@@MikeMike-ms4fj You seem like the "hater" because you're under every damn comment just to talk shit about Mary 💁. Mary was actually the one who talked directly to Foxy and made a point to include her in what she was saying so how was she throwing shade 🤔. The problem is y'all stay looking for their to be problems where there are no problems 🤷. Why are you so mad???!!!

[@MikeMike-ms4fj]

I love me some Foxy

[@TheRealArrendondo]

I like how they're playing Mariah Carey honey David morales mix in the background in the beginning of the vid

[@salenasheppherd2834]

Opinions differ when it comes to if there was shade or dislike between Mary & Foxy. I personally don't think there was any jealousy between them but there was definitely a lack of chemistry and connection. Now ...when Mary brought up KIM and everybody else co-signed on how sweet & awesome Kim is Foxy was SILENT.........she could've gave Kim a compliment like she did Lauryn Hill but she didn't.

[@azuben413]

Why would Foxy give a positive comment about somebody who was dissing her? I think she took the high road cause if you have nothing nice to say don’t say anything at all.

[@shawn0md]

When they're talking about the way Kim talks and now foxy talks just like that with the little baby high pitch voice and it really urk me. Just talk regular damn everything you do doesn't have to be just like Kim. BE YOU.

[@shawn0md]

***** foxy brown been trying to sound like Kim since 1999, her hearing went bad in 2005 so get a fucking clue.

[@shawn0md]

***** foxy didn't have hearing problems in this 1999 interview you big dummy. Stop blaming foxy trying to talk like Kim on her deafness. Deafness does not give you a high pitch valley girl voice. Stop it.

[@shawn0md]

***** Why do you think Diddy said in Lil Cease 2000 record "Play Around" to STOP TRYING TO SOUND LIKE KIM. foxy took offense to Diddy calling her out and Philly Dj's blasting her for it. Everyone was talking about foxy switching up her flow and voice to sound like Kim. Sorry if you're late or didn't know this.

[@shawn0md]

***** You sound so stupid, how did foxy " rapped in her talking voice" when both her rap voice and talking voice was deep and then she switched it up to sound like a little valley girl like Kim.

[@shawn0md]

***** Listen to foxy's debut song "I'll Be" released in 1996 which shows you her deep manly voice. She talks in that song and it's very deep. Lil Kim blew up and she switched up her flow on The Firm cd. That's why Kim said "I'll Bet on Lil Cease Before You and Your Firm."

[@LilJessye94]

Lil Kim was probably supposed to be there instead of Foxy but she was still going through with the passing of BIG.

[@artisoneandimart]

Jessie M more than likely lmao when have foxy ever been included? Over Kim, her mother?

[@ertfgghhhh]

Foxy was the bigger artist at the time on the billboards

[@marcusrob02]

Maybe I'm naive, but I honestly didn't see any negative vibes between Foxy or Mary. They collaborated with Case on "Touch Me, Tease Me" so (despite the Lil Kim factor) so I truly always thought that all four women got along well. I don't think all of these old rumors of tension between the two are valid/true at all. I think the MTV managers of this program shouted out a bullet list of topics to speak on, hence the dialogue. FYI, Foxy was speaking a TON of truth (granted I've never purchased a Foxy nor Kim record ever).

[@darkskinss]

Marcus Rob You are right. Mary was giving Foxy life actually and vice versa.

[@reinaldoalvarado4884]

Marcus Rob nah Mary was being shady but still keeping the interview going. Mary always gives Foxy that bitch face. MJB did the same on a BET awards when they were all over Foxy's outfit. She doesn't like Foxy like that and her face says it all whenever the two are in the same room...

[@MikeMike-ms4fj]

Marcus Rob Mary seems to be acting a bit insecure and shady. She wouldn’t even look in foxys eyes and she threw jabs.

[@MikeMike-ms4fj]

Reinaldo Alvarado Foxy didn’t do anything to her though. Mary was probably on drugs.

[@sophisticado100]

i don't think Salt felt intimidated by Foxy. Salt n Pepa was like the Godesses and Queens of rap. Missy and Foxy definitely looked up to Salt N Pepa They both said it in interviews back in the day.

Foxy was pretty she one of the prettiest female rappers

[@TheMrsilverscott]

@@MikeMike-ms4fj Mary J. Blige would have no reason to be jealous of Foxy Brown; she's beautiful in her own right and she was more successful than her at that 😒. Also been called the "Queen of Hip-Hop Soul" since the beginning of her career so get out of here with that bullshit.

Foxy is a mess @ 3:48 she basically said Mary needed Puffy to pop that's why Mary snapped back, then you see Foxy get alittle louder, but it look like it was cut out.

[@pushitjojo]

Foxy Brown really held her ground in this group of females. it was a little obvious the girls were a little bit itimidated by another female that young taking a platform and being politically correct... they didnt want her to or know she could be able to know as much as she did. like Mary J Blige she seemed to attemtp to disagree with Fox on occassion when Foxy was 100% correct and only repeatin things she everyone was saying

[@sophisticado100]

i don't think anyone on the platform was intimidated by Foxy. Salt had been in the game since 86 coming from performing on tables in high school gymnasiums in some rough hoods. foxy was a newbie. She was very seasoned. I think they just saw foxy as a young female in the game coming up. And to be honest foxy was actually behaving nicely in this interview because even she knew better. Foxy was known to be very nasty.

[@reinaldoalvarado4884]

sophisticado100 not even. Foxy is always well behaved she just never tolerated bs and will jump down someone's throat if they come at her sideways. Foxy was the youngest yet the most real and most intelligent of the bunch. That's a lot to make old hags scared. The world would see how the younger girl is actually the brightest one. Her vocab and articulation is immaculate but that's expected from someone who had a high GPA and was in a accelerated science class for being hella smart. Her mom is a school teacher after all..

In this interview Mary and Foxy were subliminally throwing shade at each other. I think Missy would of open up more if Lil Kim was present at this interview.....

[@roncrowell1869]

I personally believe Mary,Missy & salt didn't believe that foxy should've been on that panel & missy made little to no communication with foxy at all she didn't even look away ... I honestly feel the reason only reason lil kim was not on that panel was because at the time little Kim was some but blackballed what should like Madonna was in the early stages of her career on MTV as of her being a sex symbol! And I'm not just saying this because I am a fan of Kim I love Kim Fox equally the same!

No disrespect to my beautiful Queen Mary but I peep hater vibes from her. She threw shade at foxy for no reason. Foxy was the youngest yet soo mature, well spoken and she dropped knowledge.

[@jimmydurham9318]

I feel like foxy could have said something since her and Kim collaborated on that Total remix and especially since this was a great opportunity just to do this since it's for the ladies. But for her to sit there like that it came off as very immature and petty especially as sharp as she was with her responses I thought she could have said something for the occasion. I mean it's a women's special paying homage to the powerful ladies in the industryof course they were going to do more than just mention a little Kim

[@abeben1726]

I think Foxy and Kim were silently beefing by this point - plus at this time there had been multiple subliminal disses on Kim's part. Would you speak nicely on somebody that didn't like you?
