Of all places, Foxy Brown turned up in a Brooklyn church to tell her side of the story of how a visit to a Florida beauty supply store went awry and ended in her arrest.

The 27-year-old rapper said she was dragged half-naked out of the bathroom by police officers, because, she says, she is black.

"I was exposed from the waist down on the toilet," she said Monday at Brown Memorial Baptist Church. "The only crime I'm guilty of is being a young black woman," Brown said.

Brown, aka Inga Marchand, could face jail time if a judge decides she violated probation after she got in trouble for hitting two manicurists with a cell phone in 2004. She has to go back in front of the Manhattan judge this week.

Police in Florida said that Brown spat on the owner and then got in a scuffle with police officers in the parking lot on February 15th when Brown and a friend stopped at a shop in Pembroke Pines, FL.

Brown said she was only going to the bathroom, but the store owner refused to let her finish and then dragged her out, still undressed.

Store owner Hayssam Ghoneim said he asked Brown to leave the restroom because he was closing up shop. But he said she spat on him, and that a surveillance video shows that the rapper left the restroom door open the entire time.

Brown was charged with resisting an officer and simple battery, police said.

During a Save Our Children forum in Philadelphia, Bill Cosby scorns Tupac Shakur for having sold drugs and Afeni for living off what he feels is dirty money from Tupac’s alleged drug history. While Tupac statistically has been one of the best selling music artists, Cosby insists that Afeni is “crazy” for living off of Tupac’s alleged drug wages as opposed to what many feel are Tupac’s music royalties.
