Synopsis
Foxy Brown gets a last-minute invitation to a glamorous party, but her friends leave her behind to handle their chores. Inspired by Cinderella, the video gives Foxy a stylish makeover courtesy of her unlikely fairy godfather, NBA star Stephon Marbury. She arrives at the ball with confidence, drawing attention from Bill Bellamy and Chris Webber while Dru Hill perform the hook. As the night winds down, Foxy races home before her magic expires, leaving behind a glass shoe and one unforgettable impression.
