The show was cancelled because rapper Foxy Brown didn't show up. Some people in the audience said she did the same thing last month.
The show was canceled by the management of the venue after waiting three hours. In an effort to smooth over the "Foxy will be here in 5 minutes" lie, they brought on random acts who appeared to be attendees in the audience. The headlining performers aren't current, but had fans. Not sure how many they will have after this stunt!
She didnt show up!

Before she had released any material at all, Foxy Brown appeared on several 1995-1996 platinum singles, including her first credit, LL Cool J's "I Shot Ya," as well as Total's "No One Else" remix of Jay-Z's "Ain't No...," Toni Braxton's "You're Makin' Me High" remix, and Case's "Touch Me, Tease Me." The incredible success led to a major-label bidding war at the beginning of 1996, and by March, Brown had signed with the Def Jam label as another in the ranks of young and hard female rappers.
The Brooklyn native -- separate from a similarly named reggae artist -- was born in 1979; in 1994, while still a teenager, she won a talent contest in Brooklyn, and was invited to freestyle on stage. At that time, Trackmasters were working on LL Cool J's Mr. Smith album, and they decided to let her rap over "I Shot Ya." The single became a hit, prompting Brown's work with Total, Braxton, and Case, as well as her induction into the Firm posse (led by Nas and also including AZ and Cormega).
Brown's debut album, Ill Na Na, was produced by Trackmasters, and featured appearances from Blackstreet, Method Man, and Kid Capri. It hit number seven its first week on the album charts. China Doll followed in early 1999, and Broken Silence in 2001. All three albums went platinum. In 2008, Brown released her fourth album, Brooklyn's Don Diva.
