RAPPER Foxy Brown is being wooed by prosecutors to be a witness in the murder trial of rap legend Tupac Shakur.
Prosecutors say Foxy’s evidence could be crucial in derailing one central defense of suspect Duane “Keefe D” Davis, 60, who insists he is innocent of playing a key role in Tupac’s 1996 death.
Foxy, 𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧 Inga DeCarlo Fung Marchand, was in Las Vegas hanging out with Davis’ friends on September 7, 1996, shortly before Tupac was hunted and gunned down by a Southside Crip gang, prosecutors said.
Davis’ legal strategy is that there is no proof he was actually in the gambling mecca on the night, and he lied about being a “shot caller” for fame and fortune.
However, The U.S. Sun has learned that the Clark County District Attorney’s office is building a witness list corroborating their case that Davis was in Las Vegas and planning the assassination.
Several informants have told prosecutors that Foxy saw Davis and even interacted with him shortly before Tupac’s shooting.
Incredibly, Davis, who now insists that any comment he made on Tupac was a lie, boasted about meeting Foxy in his memoir Compton Street Legend.
TEARING DOWN KEEFE D’S DEFENSE
Lead prosecutors have contacted Foxy, famous for hits like Get Me Home with Blackstreet, to take the stand in November’s trial.
A Metro insider told The U.S. Sun, “There are secret and delicate conversations going on about Foxy being a witness at the trial.
“She could prove vital in taking the stand or even making a statement about her recollection of being around the men, who claim they were in her company for a short while before they set off to murder Tupac.
“Obviously, central to her involvement to the trial will be whether she has any recollection of Keefe.
“The prosecutors know that having independent and credible verification of Keefe being in Vegas would be a major benefit to their case.
“And it would destroy Keefe’s defense of ‘there’s no evidence I was even there,’ which has been presented by his lawyer in recent weeks.”
The insider continued, “There are many delicate factors for Foxy to consider.
“Being in this trial would bring a lot of eyes to her and not necessarily present her in the right light.
“Secondly, the characters she was socializing with back then had varied backgrounds and lifestyles.
“Another factor would be taking the stand means facing cross-examination, which could put her on record being asked about matters in her life which may be fresh or potentially shocking.
“Some people may forget that Foxy has a criminal past too, being convicted for assaulting two nail stylists in 2006.”
The source added, “These interactions with Foxy are being kept secret between just a couple of the district attorneys and team members.
“Nothing is confirmed about what, if any, evidence she will provide.”
‘IT’S TIME TO GET THE MONEY’
Duance Davis’ memoir Compton Street Legend noted that Foxy, who continues to perform across the world after her ’90s chart success, was in Sin City on the night Tupac died.
He wrote that Foxy was present during a meeting with now-deceased New York City socialite and party planner Eric “Zip” Martin.
Davis wrote that Martin provided a gun to his gang of Southside Crips, including his nephew Orlando Anderson.
The jailed gangster has publicly claimed Anderson used that Glock to 𝓀𝒾𝓁𝓁 the rap icon during a drive-by shooting near the famous Vegas ᵴtriƥ.
Davis’ allegations in his autobiography, which prosecutors are tabling as evidence in the trial, are that Foxy was in the car with Martin before the gun handover.
In the chapter The Main Event, Davis wrote that he met Martin, who was with Foxy inside a high-end Mercedes Benz.
While not specific about the location, it appears that the meeting happened at the MGM Grand Casino, close to the valet drop-off.
Davis wrote, “As I walked up to the driver’s side window, I noticed that the rapper, Foxy Brown, was in the car with Zip.
“So he instructed her to step out of the car and motioned for me to jump in.
“Zip had a hidden compartment that he opened up, reached in, and pulled a black .40 Glock out.
“He turned to me and said, ‘It’s time to get the money.’
“Zip handed me the 17-shot pistol, which I promptly put down the back waist of my pants.
“I hopped out of the car, held the door open for Foxy Brown to get back in, closed the door, and they pulled off.“
Davis declared in his memoir and media interviews that his gang drove around Las Vegas hunting for Tupac.
He denies that he is responsible for Tupac’s murder. The trial will take place on November 4.
His lawyer, Carl Arnold, maintains that Davis has lied about his entire involvement in Tupac’s death to gain fame and earn money.
Arnold says prosecutors cannot convict his client based on his confessions alone and need “corroborating evidence.”
Arnold has stated, “There is no evidence Keefe was even in Vegas that night.”
The U.S. Sun has reached out to Foxy Brown’s representatives for comment.
