No relation to Vic Brown here, I swear. Anyway, not deaf like def, or fresh, or dope, but deaf like you mama warned you about when you played that Sony/Aiwa walkman at full vol. First Lil' Kim is blind, or senile, and now Fox Boogie is going def? WTF is happening here?

Excerpt: Brown, 25, revealed during a court appearance in September that she would soon undergo surgery to try to correct her hearing. Obviously straining to hear questions, she refused to discuss the possible cause of the problem.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot, the story also talks about her court ordeal for allegedly assaulting two nail salon workers on Aug. 29, 2004, in a fight over payment for a manicure at Bloomie Nails in Manhattan's Chelsea district. Come come now, you know the rule: Guilty until proven innocent. Or is the other way around?
