Foxy Brown 'hits manicurist'

Hip-hop beauty Foxy Brown reportedly hit a New York manicurist in the face with her mobile phone on Friday, only hours after shouting at Louis Vuitton sales advisors.

The 24-year-old rapper caused a furore at Bloomie Nails on Manhattan's 23rd Street, following her tirade at accessory giants Louis Vuitton, where she yelled, swore and 'finger-snapped' at sales assistants, alleges American gossip site pagesix.com.

Following her shopping trip, Brown visited Bloomie for a manicure and pedicure, where she reportedly refused to pay for her $35 (€28.80) treatment and was forced out of the store by employees.

A Bloomie worker claims: "She was here and she hit someone with her phone in the face. The girl who works here had to go to the hospital."

The star's spokesperson Marvet Britto denies Brown assaulted anybody, but admitted there had been a heated discussion.

Britto says: "There was a dispute over payment. She got her pedicure, but the woman tried to charge her for both the manicure and the pedicure.

"She definitely did not hit her with the cellphone."
