Despite the prevalence of women empowerment at VH1 Hip Hop Honors: All Hail the Queens on Monday night, one female MC was not present: Foxy Brown.
The Brooklyn rapper took to Instagram on Wednesday (July 14) to respond to the snub, also mentioning Lauryn Hill‘s absence. “I Awoke This Morning, Oblivious And Shocked At Our Fans Across The World’s TRENDING Outrage At (Reality Show Network) @VH1’s Non-Inclusion Of LAURYN HILL & FOXY BROWN. Anyone Recognized, (Whether The Contribution Big Or Small) I Applaud,” she wrote in a caption.

Brown continued, “Personally, I’d Prefer Being Held To A Much Higher Standard In My Walk, But Fans Went Ballistic; The PEOPLE Have Spoken! We’ve Been Blessed To Set The Bar At It’s Highest Heights; Most Notably Receiving The 2016 Historic ‘KEY’–To My CITY of BROOKLYN–…..Therefore, Humbly Speaking The CALIBER Of HONOR I’d Aspire To Are Those ‘UPPER ECHELON.’ After All Guys This Is VH1!”
She also teased that she was keeping busy in the studio. “Truthfully, The Only Accolade That Truly Matters To ME Is Of The MOST HIGH,” she adds. “Rest Assured, I’m In The Studio Perfecting This Incredible Return. Humbled And Blessed To Kill It Again! My Girl L BOOGIE (My Fav) And I, Have The Dopest Convo, Cracking Jokes In Our Caribbean Accents As She Prepares For An Amazing Overseas Tour. So, Actually Guys Let’s THANK @VH1 As We Are Definitely #TheDifference!!!!”
