Foxy Brown talks Lil’ Kim and Christmas no-show

Foxy Brown Addresses Christmas Massacre Delay and Lil’ Kim Diss

As the tension between Nicki Minaj and Lil’ Kim continues to dominate headlines, another hip-hop titan, Foxy Brown, is reemerging from the shadows of controversy. Long before Minaj entered the fray, the true battle for the throne among women in hip-hop was between Foxy Brown and Lil’ Kim. That rivalry appears to be heating up again. As a result, fans were primed for a dramatic return in the form of a new diss track: “Christmas Massacre.”

Both hailing from Brooklyn and rising to prominence in the mid-1990s, Foxy and Kim have a complex history. This history is marked by lyrical jabs, industry competition, and whispers of behind-the-scenes animosity. The feud seemed to simmer down over the years. Thus, overshadowed by newer beefs and generational shifts in hip-hop. But now, in the wake of Lil’ Kim’s public back-and-forth with Nicki Minaj, Foxy Brown is making headlines once again.

“Christmas Massacre” Announcement Sends Shockwaves

News first broke in early December that Foxy Brown was planning to unleash a new diss track directly aimed at her longtime rival Lil’ Kim. Titled “Christmas Massacre,” the track was to be premiered at Foxy’s own “Christmas in Brooklyn” event at Club Jelani on December 24. The announcement came through a press release from Platinum Camp Productions, who dubbed the song “the most anticipated response since Jay-Z’s ‘Takeover.'”

Adding fuel to the fire, Foxy confirmed the record’s existence via Twitter, tweeting, “Dmn! We just mentioned ‘CHRISTMAS MASSACRE’ and got the streets going crazy! WOW!” She also teased a Hot 97 appearance, declaring, “Haaa!!! FOX aka MACHINE GUN KELLY live on HOT 97 next week! So all dat’ subliminal sht…..”

The anticipation reached a fever pitch. Fans and critics alike braced for a scathing lyrical onslaught from one of rap’s most feared female lyricists. Yet when Christmas Eve came and went, the track never dropped. And more notably, Foxy Brown never appeared at the event she was slated to headline.

The No-Show: Why Foxy Brown Missed Her Own Christmas Event

In the aftermath of the no-show, confusion and rumors swirled. Fans questioned whether the diss track had been scrapped, if Foxy had cold feet, or if logistical issues had derailed the rollout. Finally, Foxy broke her silence on Twitter, offering an explanation laced with grief, faith, and humility.

“I hope everyone had a blessed & beautiful Christmas,” she began. “Still grieving the loss of someone special & dear to me. I’d like to personally apologize for the confusion and venue changing of the beautiful ‘Christmas In Brooklyn’ party. Although the confusion fell far beyond my control, my responsibility and concern is to my fans and family; my priority.”

Foxy also referenced a spiritual element, stating, “As I always say… the Devil’s at his busiest when ur about to get busy.” She concluded with love for her fans and team, thanking them for their support and asking for prayers during a difficult time.

The message was heartfelt and raw, offering fans a glimpse into a more vulnerable side of an artist typically known for her fierce bravado. It also confirmed what many had suspected: personal tragedy had taken precedence over public performance.

Fan Reactions and the Ongoing Anticipation

Though disappointed, most fans responded with compassion, recognizing that behind the public persona is a human being dealing with real grief. Still, the absence of “Christmas Massacre” leaves a lingering curiosity. Will the track eventually be released? Is Foxy Brown planning a different rollout? For now, the song remains in limbo.

The missed event doesn’t erase the momentum Foxy generated in the lead-up. In fact, some argue that the delay has only heightened anticipation. Whether intentional or not, the absence of the track has added mystique to its eventual debut. Should Foxy choose to release “Christmas Massacre,” it will land with even more weight.

Previous Shots Fired: “Let Em Know” and Its Targets

This isn’t the first time Foxy has aimed at Lil’ Kim in recent years. Earlier in 2010, a leaked track titled “Let Em Know” made its rounds online, and it didn’t take much decoding to figure out who was in Foxy’s crosshairs. The song included lines like:

“I’d rather be at a club at the bar than to disrespect my hood, you ‘Dancing With The Stars’ / Nah, I’m in the hood taking chances with the Gods.”

This jab is widely interpreted as a reference to Kim’s appearance on Dancing with the Stars in 2009. Foxy’s lyrical assault continued with mentions of Jay-Z, Nas, AZ, and vague references to her own romantic history, all delivered with the venom fans have come to expect.

While “Let Em Know” may have flown under the radar compared to what “Christmas Massacre” was shaping up to be, it served as a warning shot—a sign that Foxy Brown was watching and ready to reassert her dominance.

What This Means for the Lil’ Kim vs. Foxy Brown Narrative

The dynamic between Foxy Brown and Lil’ Kim has always been more than surface-level beef. It represents a clash of personas, of lyrical styles, and of legacies. Both women carved out their space in a male-dominated industry, and both endured public and private battles to maintain relevance and respect.

The renewed focus on their rivalry arrives at a pivotal moment. Lil’ Kim is locked in a war of words with Nicki Minaj, which has captivated a new generation of fans. Yet Foxy’s return suggests that the original battle for the crown is far from over. Even if “Christmas Massacre” hasn’t dropped, its mere announcement disrupted the narrative and reminded the hip-hop world that Foxy Brown isn’t to be overlooked.

In a time when authenticity is currency, Foxy’s transparency about her grief and her commitment to her fans resonate deeply. The streets are still talking, and if “Christmas Massacre” ever drops, it might just shift the conversation entirely.

Until then, the question remains: will Foxy Brown deliver the lyrical blow that reignites one of hip-hop’s most storied rivalries? One thing is certain—she has the world’s attention again, and that’s never by accident.
