TSG: Alfamega Was a Government Informant
Wow, say it ain’t so Mega. According to The Smoking Gun, everybody’s favorite rap goon and symbol of Grand Hustle’s muscle, worked with the DEA as an “informant who snitched out criminal cohorts and testified as a government witness at the trial of an Atlanta heroin trafficker.”
Here’s what TSG found when they dug into the legal history of Cedric “Alfamega” Zellars:
Court records show that Zellars began working with law enforcement officials after he was sentenced in September 1995 to 110 months in a federal gun case (Zellars, who had a prior felony robbery conviction, was collared for selling weapons to an undercover federal agent). Zellars “agreed to cooperate with authorities and was debriefed” about the criminal activity of several individuals. “In particular he was debriefed concerning the drug trafficking activities of a Mr. Ali Baaqar,” according to a government court filing, a copy of which you’ll find below. During his cooperation against Baaqar, Zellars met with a DEA agent and a federal prosecutor, and subsequently testified at trial. “Ali Baaqar was convicted of conspiracy to distribute heroin based upon the trial testimony of [Zellars] and others.” In return for his snitching, Zellars had 18 months shaved off his prison term when he was resentenced in July 1997 by Judge J. Owen Forrester.
Damn homie. Read all of the supporting evidence here.

Is Cam’ron a DL Booty Bandit-Thug?

Bossip went hard at Cam for no reason. Cam will have to diss them in his next freestyle. They dont normally go that hard at guys unless they see them with a white girl.

For real, though, I understand that not snitching has its roots in slavery, where you had to protect your own, but in today’s climate, I’ll be damned if I got 3 hots and a cot (none), while some other nigga got pussy and playstation, just because I wouldn’t say shit to clear my own name…..what about the part of the code where you’re not supposed to let your boys rot in prison for some dumb shit you did?

>>not snitching is coonery in my opinion. if you see a mother stealing to feed her children, pull her to the side and bless her so she doesn’t have to steal. However, if you see a fucking murderer on the loose, call the cops (no cam’ron).

SO what if he snitched or worked as an informant? That’s what happens when you get into that game. You do dirty, you might get snitched on, you might have to snitch. It happens.
Don’t act like you wouldn’t want someone to snitch if someone hurt or murdered a member or members of your family. Get real.
He worked with the DEA, let’s move on.
May 5th, 2009 at 1:56 pm
and this BACKS UP what tip said about “there’s no such thing as a secret snitch”. smoking gun found the paperwork, but no one can find paperwork proving tip snitched
but here’s the REAL question: why is smoking gun always digging up documents like this on black entertainers? are they out assailing the credibility of white tough guy entertainers too? like proving marilyn manson goes to church every sunday? LOL.

^^^ for all we know, this dude alfamega flipped on may have been his worst enemy or some shit, but was too big on the street for dude to get him any other way. not that i give a fuck, the guy was allegedly a heroin importer. he knows that shit was illegal, whether he gets caught by a snitch or some other way, dudes can’t really cry too much about getting caught when they know they’re in the illegal life. trust nobody…they say it for a reason. i understand the principle of doing your time, staying quiet, etc, but dudes are out here snitching for all kinds of reasons…i heard about someone who snitched on a dude just to take his girl…now THAT is SMH-worthy
May 5th, 2009 at 2:02 pm
SMH@ niggas on this site trying to rationalize snitching. “oh they left him for dead….oh he was only 15″ get off that bullshit. You get into the game, you accept what comes with it. You niggas just showing the room your real character. I wouldn’t even litter amongst some of you.
May 5th, 2009 at 2:03 pm
wtf is wrong with rappers these days……..fuck, i bet u T.I. isn’t probably even locked up right now, hes probably snitching for something else.
May 5th, 2009 at 2:04 pm
Judging by the comments, I could do some criminal acts to ya’ll moms and not worry about the repercussions of police involvement.
I just have to worry about what ya’ll would do to me.
May 5th, 2009 at 2:12 pm
alfamega’s buzz was like one of Beanie Sigel pretty much known for havin hard raps an bein a real stand up nigga on the streets before he started rappin
i dnt think he’ll be able to recover from this one i kno T.I. is pissed after he invested all this money into him for it to go down the drain-mega should start looking for a new day job cus i guarantee his show money bout to go down
im not one to judge jail time cus ive never been faced with ever going but it jus looks bad that he had 110 months an went down as a snitch for only 18 months shaved
May 5th, 2009 at 2:13 pm

May 5th, 2009 at 3:01 pm
Career Killer!
Snitchin aint cool if you in the game. period. Still I must admit theres ways of smart snitching. He´d gotten way more shaved off when if he did some serious help for the prosecution. Maybe that case against the dude he snitched on was already set… Just speculating… Alpha if you need some pr advice how to spin that shit, holla at me… LOL
May 5th, 2009 at 3:04 pm
the truth will set you free
May 5th, 2009 at 3:22 pm
For all those, alfamega was a teenager boo hoo ers. ALfa is 36 years old.
So in 1997, he was 24!
Stop snitching.
May 5th, 2009 at 3:39 pm
NOW I GET IT. THE WHOLE CASE WITH TI WAS A FEDERAL RE-ENACTMENT. ALFAMEGA IS TI’S BODYGUARD WHO WAS BUYING /SELLING GUNS. BASICALLY THE FEDS ARE SAYING… “HEY TIP, THE MUSCLE OF GRANDHUSTLE ALREADY SNITCHED FOR US BACK IN THE DAY AND HE’S BASICALLY BODYGUARDING YOU NOW, SO WE’LL RE-CREATE A SITUATION TO SHOW THE WORLD WHAT IT WAS AND WHAT IT IS”
