Foxy Brown Deaf, Says Lawyer Tacopina

Rapper Foxy Brown is almost totally deaf, her lawyer said Monday.

Attorney Joe Tacopina disclosed Brown's hearing problem after a question about why they exchanged notes while waiting in Manhattan Criminal Court for her case to be called on an unresolved charge of assault on two nail salon workers Aug. 29, 2004.

"She's pretty much totally deaf now," he said. "Anything I have to communicate with her now has to be written."

A judge adjourned Brown's case until Dec. 23.
