Foxy Brown’s BET press conference announcing she was 100 percent deaf:
“Thank you all for coming and showing your support. In May 2005, my life was altered drastically. But I’ve discovered that in your darkest hour, the confusion…your daily existence, can become overwhelming. During the recording of my new album Black Roses, I was diagnosed with sudden severe hearing loss. As time pass, an incredible anticipation of the album evolved and suddenly I became reclusive, privately suffering with the devastating news of my hearing loss.
We take for granted the simple yet powerful words like “I love you” by our mothers or the subtle support of words of an adoring fan. But I’m very appreciative of every kind remark, embrace and prayers from my family, fellow artists and fans. I’ve spent many confusing, agonizing nights crying in isolation and silence….To suddenly lose your hearing after ten years as a professional artist, I question God “Why me?”, but today I stand before you blessed, with only the voice of God in my ears as a vessel of inspiration.”
