Jailed rapper Foxy Brown twice refused to get on a correction department bus Friday for a court appearance to face assault charges, according to the prosecutor's office.
Brown was arrested in August and accused of striking Arlene Raymond, 25, after the pair got into a fight July 30 over Brown blasting her car stereo near her Brooklyn home.
On Friday, she refused to be taken from Rikers Island to be arraigned in Brooklyn Supreme Court.
The prosecutor said the entertainer has been rescheduled to appear in court on Tuesday. If she refuses again, the court could issue an order allowing correction officers to put her in handcuffs and force her onto the bus.
Brown is serving a year in jail for violating probation -- skipping her anger management classes and traveling out of the city without permission.
The probation stemmed from her fight with manicurists in a nail salon three years ago.
Brown, whose real name is Inga Marchand, has a new album, "Brooklyn's Don Diva," scheduled to be released Nov. 20.
