Via The Smoking Gun:
Billed as the protégé of rapper/gun enthusiast T.I., Cedric “Alfamega” Zellars is a convicted felon whose songs brag about his status as an “original gangster” and contain de rigeur references to police tape, automatic weapons, and murder. Zellars, who records for T.I.’s Grand Hustle Entertainment, is a hulking 6′ 4″, calls himself “The Grand Hustle Muscle,” and proclaims, “I’m a real hood.” What he does not mention, though, is his prior work as a Drug Enforcement Administration informant who snitched out criminal cohorts and testified as a government witness at the trial of an Atlanta heroin trafficker.
Court records show that Zellars began working with law enforcement officials after he was sentenced in October 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. A court order signed by Forrester came after federal prosecutors petitioned the jurist to reduce Zellars’s sentence in light of his “substantial assistance to the Government.” The disclosure of Zellars’s informant past will likely not sit well with rap fans and performers alike, many of whom promote hip-hop’s “Stop Snitching” doctrine. Additionally, since T.I. (real name: Clifford Harris) is soon headed to prison due to the work of a government informant, Zellars’s time as a government asset could be a cause for tension around the Grand Hustle offices.

Not horribly shocked. These dudes just need to shut up with the snitching rules cause once they backs are against the wall, negroes don’t remember no hood laws.
THIS CRAZY!!!!!! THANKS FOR ALL THE SUPPORT
this is definitely not a good look!
Whoa, damn TI, u had a not 1 but 2 snitches in yo click. If you ever try to do something above the law again, you might wanna watch the ones closest to you.
Imma write a book on the celebrity lames in Atlanta! Lol. I am playing but it is so obvious. The one’s who make all the noise, flex and wild out are usually the ones who aren’t all they seem. I notice comments about Alfamega dissapearing after the Durty Awards. I also notice he was the idiot running on stage like he got a clean background. “Boy u in the south soon, give them boyz any reason to lock u up. Disturbin the Peace.” He musta forgot he was snitch.
:-/ Come on Alfa. There is no cleaning this up, no PR spin. Interesting that this case also involved guns. If I’m not mistaken didn’t ‘Mega’s name come up when Tip got picked up? Street Cred is gone when you start snitching.
How old was he when this happened. If he was young, i.e. 14, 15, 16 this ain’t no big deal to me cause most kids can’t handle when they get caught especially when they have no one to help them out.
^^^Just checked Georgia Inmate Locator. Alfa was born in ’72 and was snitching in his 20’s. Did a bid from 91-93 before catching the case that lead him to snitch.
i told yall bastards that TIP-STER was a snitch as well, and snitch nucca’s hang 2gether. all chicks can say is “he cute”….
same way this dude snitched when selling guns 2 the feds, the same way tip-ster snitched and walked away with 1 years for trying to purchase and arsenol from the FEDS.
If Alfa is such a snitch then why is he in custody now? Maybe u all need to get a life!
@Baby Mom
no wonder you sound soooo dumb, with a name like ‘baby mom’…your probably his baby’s mama too. LMAO
listen baby mom..the smoking gun goes off of pure fact with official documents to back them up. (i.e. official court documents, police reports, etc) if its on the smoking gun, its is good as OFFICIAL. thats not a blog baby’s mama. lol
@ Baby Mom ~ I just saw him last Sunday at crucial. Wassup with that??
Anyway, I was in a rush yesterday and didn’t post my feelings on the subject at hand. Alfamega is a good dude and I like him but he obviously rubbed someone *cough* (shawty lo?) the wrong way. These docs are over 10 years old! Now…correct me if I’m wrong, but The Smoking Gun doesn’t give a rat’s “A”zz about Alfamega and most likely didn’t know who he was until someone gave them a tip.
Word on the street is that Alfa is in the hospital for unknown reasons and that Shawty Lo’s studio got shot up yesterday. I ain’t no detective or nutthin but it would appear to my scattered brain that the “Bankhead Beef” is still alive and rotting…
ATLien….OUT!
