Foxy Brown is quite the trickster. Posting onto her Instagram early Thursday morning, the rapstress led all to believe that she managed to keep a pregnancy under wraps. Choosing to go public before TMZ could break the news, Foxy captioned a photo of an adorable baby girl explaining her desire for privacy.

****DEAR WORLD, For Years I’ve Been Encumbered With Erroneous Rumors. I Guess That’s Why They Ascribe Stardom To The Gift & The Curse. But None Have Crushed Me More Than The Constant Accusations Of Me Giving Birth To A Baby Girl On My Parent’s Island Of Trinidad. Always One To Fiercely Protect And Keep Sacred My Personal Life; TMZ Informed Us They Are Breaking The Story Friday, Armed With Certificate Of Birth And An On-Camera Interview From A Former Nanny. Never One To Conform To Threats, So Today I Put An END To These Rumors Forever. Both Her Father And I Ask For Our Privacy In This Intimate Moment.
Thank You. ❤️FB

The Brooklyn native let the picture and caption marinate for a short few hours before pulling it down and posting: “April Fools I know I’m a day late.”
