    BEIJING, March 29 (Xinhuanet) -- Rapper Foxy Brown told reporters she's "going to stand up and fight" after pleading not guilty Wednesday to two misdemeanor charges for an alleged scuffle at a beauty supply store in Pembroke Pines, Florida.

    "I am going to stand up and fight and take care of this," Brown said outside the courthouse, according to the South Florida Sun-Sentinel.

    Judge Joel Lazarus set a June trial date and withdrew a warrant for Brown after she failed to appear for an earlier court date. Defense lawyers said the arraignment notice telling Brown about the date was mailed to an old address.

    Brown, 27, whose real name is Inga Marchand, was charged in February with battery and resisting arrest without violence.

    Brown was applying beauty products in the bathroom when a Queen Beauty Supply employee told her the store was closed and she needed to leave, according to the arrest report. She refused and threw hair glue at the employee, the report said. Brown then spat on the man as he called 911.

    She later struggled with a police officer who responded to the call, the report said. She was released on a 1,500 U.S. dollar bond.

    Brown's albums include "Ill Na Na" and "Chyna Doll," and she is known for her sexy outfits and racy lyrics.
