“I first ran into a little-known New York City councilwoman named Letitia James in the aughts at a Brooklyn news conference about rapper Foxy Brown. It seems Foxy had been busted, again, over some bad behavior. And among the people who came out to defend her was James, whose real agenda had nothing to do with hip-hop or crime. It was all about making a name for herself. And she did. For all the wrong reasons. James, whom I’d never met or even heard of, made a beeline for me at the event and started haranguing me — but not about the troubled recording artist. She was furious about my columns supporting the still-unbuilt Barclays Center, which I believed would revitalize a decrepit swath of Brooklyn and bring high-profile entertainment and jobs to a place where they were desperately needed.” (04/17/25)
