Kid Capri shared a somber message with his Instagram followers on Saturday (August 4), revealing M.O.P. affiliate Foxx had died.
The veteran New York City DJ mentioned he’d just visited her at the hospital and she had decided to be removed from life support on Friday (August 2), indicating she’d lost her 15-year battle with an autoimmune disease called scleroderma. She was roughly 55 years old.
“I went to the hospital to see you last night, what I saw had me walking out the room crying, a week ago or so. you requested that people come see you before Aug 2, that’s when you wanted to be taking off of the respirator,” Kid Capri began. “Yesterday was Aug 2nd, I would have had so much regret if I didn’t make it there, because today your gone, you was holding on last night after they took you off the machine, it was very hard to leave you behind in that hospital room to go home, knowing I will never see you again, but my memory of you will last forever.”
DJ Premier, who frequently collaborated with M.O.P. back in the day, said in the comment section he also made a trip to the hospital to see Foxx before she died. He added, “Saw her Tuesday at the hospital. She wrote ‘I LOVE YOU’ on a piece of paper. I’m framing it. She’s a tough loss to our lives. Love You Foxx Forever.”
Fat Joe chimed in with, “Nah she’s family god bless I’m so sorry,” as did longtime Bone Thugs-n-Harmony manager Steve Lobel, who said, “Dammm RIp big Foxx I worked with her in the 90s when I worked at relativity and she was with MOP my condolences ”
Roc-A-Fella Records co-founder Kareem Burke, Vast Aire, DJ Eclipse, Shyheim and DJ COOL V, DJ EFN, Percee P and DJ Clue were among the many others expressing their condolences.
Prince Po, one-half of Organized Konfusion, also shared some thoughts on Foxx. As he wrote on Facebook, “Been up all night… reflecting on lots….grateful for plenty things .. tryna stay calm….Foxx was solid as a rock…til the end…man…God bless her soul…Love, condolences and prayers upon her son, family and the entire m.o.p. posse.”
