She’s not quite Pastor Mase but Foxy Brown now claims to be  saved.  For those who have been around the nation for some time, they’ll remember that my early rants revolved around much disdain for my fellow Brooklynite.  From cracking skulls, to beefing with neighbors, crashing whips, spitting on folks to reportedly mooing folks, she’s been accused of it all.  She’s rap’s Naomi Campbell and there’s no secret why the two are best friends.

But as she tells the New York Post, she’s turned over a new leaf.  According to Foxy, she now embraces Inga Marchand not the hardended, sexy “Foxy Brown” character she’s created over the last 15 years.

“The Foxy character and Inga Marchand are two different people,” she continues. “My fiancé calls me Inga. No one around me calls me Foxy. I go to church every Sunday. I go to Bible study every Friday night. I’m saved.”

Among church and looking to get married, Foxy shares other new changes in her life including a new album.

“Of course I want to release another album,” she says. “It’s not that I’ve been twiddling my thumbs. I’ve had major setbacks.”

One of those major setbacks was becoming temporarily deaf, due to sensorineural hearing loss, a rare viral infection.  He hearing was partially restored in 2006 by surgery.  She now hides a hearing aid behind her weaves.

“I lost one of my senses, and that’s the hardest thing I went through,” she says. “It’s a miracle I got it back. I can hear running water again. I can hear my mother say, ‘I love you.’ I’m on an assignment from God.”
