According to The Smoking Gun, T.I. protege/goon, Alfamega, was an informant for the Drug Enforcement Administration.
The site alleges the Grand Hustle artist made a plea bargain deal in order to ease his sentence for a 1995 gun charge. The Smoking Gun did a background check on Alfamega's birth name, Cedric Zellars, and obtained legal documents stating that he appeared as a witness against a heroin trafficker and several others, in exchange for cutting his sentence to 18 months from 110.
The expose on TSG claims Zellars "during his cooperation against [known heroin dealer] Baaqar, Zellars met with a DEA agent and a federal prosecutor, and subsequently testified at trial.
Alfamega's debut 'I Am Alfamega' is nowhere to be found on Atlantic's release schedule.

Prove what the NRA says is true. un laws are not enforced on REAL criminals. The politicians are only interested in passing laws that woud make criminals out of otherwise law abiding citizens.

why would anyone want to report on someone who made a plea deal?
Are they trying to get him shot? Stupidity reigns.

Yeah, a gaang-banger gets whacked, that would be just horrible. I would be publishing every piece of dirt I have on these tumors of society.

So nburke - was it ok for Rachel Hoffman to get snuffed out? Or should she have gotten to live? Is being in a "gang" the deciding factor in who sells drugs that lives vs. who sells drugs that dies? Just assume he's rapin' and killin' and stealin' because he's in a "gang"/wears his pants too low?

Who are you? Frank Castle? Anytime a life is lost it's a shame. Including the drug runners you think are tumors on society. Maybe if there weren't any beacons of hate like yourself, people wouldn't need drugs to make themselves feel better.

Ahhhh... what's wrong? You people see your supplier in trouble so you need to find a new place to buy dope? People in gangs are scum. Guess what where I'm from there's no gangs. There's also no hard drugs, murder, rape, or stolen cars. So go ahead and defend those who sell drugs to your kids, write lyrics about raping your mother, and kill your friends in a drive-by. I live in a society, scum like this lives in a jungle. SOME people grow up in that and decide it's not good enough for them and better their lives. Others become rappers, glorify it, and sell it to stupid teenagers who don't know any better. Don't forget, HE WAS BUSTED FOR CARRYING AN ILLEGAL FIREARM. He wasn't on his way to go hunting, he wasn't carrying it legally, he was waiting to kill someone. Let him get what he deserves, let some other dumb thug pop him and save the tax payers money.

I cannot believe that they would publicize a government informant along with what he did on the internet. What was the point of going undercover? These reporters are just stupid. Find something to write about that wont cause the death of another person you stupid peices of SH**..........

that's the beauty of it all. in order to save his own ass, he rats out and testifys against his buddy the drup dealer and gets a much lighter sentence at the dealers expense, now keep following me, 1 dealer off the street, he will kill or have the snitch killed! feds have clean hands and two pieces of shit off the street, it's a win win. if he knows whats best he won't sleep in the same bed twice. those dealers have deep pockets, it won't be hard for him to find a willing snitch to locate him and then deal with him!
