Alfamega reaches out to T.I. in the form of a letter. I got to say Alfamega really articulated his word real well.
OPEN LETTER TO TIP FROM ALFAMEGA
Wednesday, July 22, 2009
Dear TIP,
Hopefully, this letter will find you in the very best of spirits. With that being said, let’s get straight to the point. You once said, “… Ay, I don’t talk behind a nigga back I say it in his face.” Well, consider this letter as me showing you my face. Look, I understand that business is business therefore you have to manage yours the way you see fit. On the real, I’m not coming to you as a disgruntled crying assed b*tch who’s mad about being let go. I’m coming to you as a man who is disappointed that he was publicly exiled by a friend. You’ve often said that you’re a man of your words but hommie; you are not being true to your words. Instead, you’re trying to play me like I’m a pawn in your own personal game of chess. I’m sitting here contemplating my present circumstances and I’m astonished. Hommie, I rode for you when there was no one else there to ride for you. 24/7, I was on call for you pimp. On many occasions, I sidelined my family choosing to risk my early demise for you. With a little cheddar, you can easily employ dudes to kill for you all day every day. Conversely, try finding someone who will put their life on the line and die for you; it would be easier to arm a boy scout with a Swiss army knife and send him to Afghanistan to find Bin Laden and the Taliban. Seriously, I could have died during many instances that I stepped up for you on. I’m dismayed by the fact that you – of all folk – would leave me treading water in the middle of the ocean with my situation.
I was the first person you called when you got into that altercation in LA with Shaka’s DTP people. Without any questions, I was right there ready to go to war for you. At one time, a lot of dudes were questioning how you got that year and a day so the word in the streets was that you were a snitch. I went off in those same streets for you. Shawty Lo dropped a song that had a verse in it disrespecting you and your wife. I stood up for you and went off when he disrespected you at the dirty awards. I got pepper sprayed, blasted down by the police and everything. I did that for you and your wife. Man, Shawty Lo didn’t utter a single word about me and my wife; it was all about you and yours.
When it rains, IT POURS. Alfamega is once again behind bars for a gun charge. This can’t get any worse.
It’s been a bad couple of weeks for Cedric Zellars, the rapper who records under the name Alfamega. As TSG reported last week, Zellars, a protege of the hip-hop star T.I., once worked as a federal informant and testified against a heroin trafficker. As a reward for that snitching, a federal judge cut 18 months from a prison term Zellars was serving for weapons possession. But when T.I. (real name: Clifford Harris) learned of his crony’s prior government work, he announced that Zellars had been bounced from Grand Hustle, his record label.
I’m not one to judge some-one’s past but there is something a little strange about this one. Once again, The Smoking Gun has dug up some federal documents that may give a little insight about Rapper Alfamega’s past. (I don’t know how The Smoking Gun does it but WOW) According to the federal documents, Alfamega became a DEA informant to recieve a reduced sentence on his federal gun case.
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 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. To see the documents click here.
I think Alfamega has a bright future in the Rap Game. I just hope situation is cleared up but it’s too late. Question: What would you if this so-called situation happened to you?
Grand Hustle/Capitol recording artist Alfamega has opened up about the chain of events that led to the chaotic early end of last week’s Dirty Awards in Atlanta.
In a recent interview with AllHipHop.com, the rapper issued a heartfelt apology to the organizers of the event and explained that he was acting in self-defense during his much publicized altercation with members of Atlanta rapper Shawty Lo’s camp.
“First I wanna apologize to [Radio One Atlanta Operations Manager] Steve Hegwood and all of Radio One, and to all of the fans, for the incident that occurred,” Alfamega told AllHipHop.com. “The fans, they came to see a show, they shouldn’t have been subject to the beef that we had. I not only embarrassed myself, I embarrassed them also.”
Radio One’s fourth annual Dirty Awards ended abruptly this evening when two separate altercations erupted reportedly between rapper Shawty Lo and members of the Grand Hustle camp tonight (November 24).
An eye witness told AllHipHop.com that the tension between the two crews mounted during Shawty Lo’s performance, which included a diss version of Grand Hustle artist Yung LA’s song “Ain’t I.”
As Lo performed his version with a chorus “Don’t I,” an audience member identified by an eyewitness as Capitol recording artist Alfamega, allegedly threw a chair onto the stage.
At that point, witnesses say another artist signed to the T.I.-helmed label stormed the stage, at which point authorities proceeded to break a fight.
