Former Grand Hustle artist Alfamega has finally spoken out against  accusations of him being a Government informant.

Alfamega, who's real name is Cedric Zellars was purportedly exposed as a snitch after The Smoking Gun unearthed the rappers "extensive history" working 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.'

Grand Hustle honcho T.I. subsequently dropped Alfamega from the label after learning of his past.

In a candid interview with All Hip Hop, Alfamega attempts to clear his name and says he thought his relationship with T.I. was a strong friendship.

"I caught a case, pleaded guilty. Received my time. I was doing my time. All the extra stuff dudes’ talking about… Anybody that know me, if I had did something on somebody in this city, and people knew that I was accused of doing what they accusing me of right now? Somebody woulda been stepped to me about that. Like I said, Alfamega ain’t never snitched on nobody. He done lied on somebody, but he ain’t never snitched. And we ain’t even gotta say Alfamega, ‘cause y’all got my name out there now: Cedric Zellers." Alfamega says when asked about the reported case.

He also says that out of the seven years and 8 months prison sentence he received, he did seven years and four days.

Speaking on T.I. and being released from the label:

"I never hung with this dude everywhere he went, I was on standby for when he had a problem. As a friend, not like a henchman. But if somebody got a problem with you, they got a problem with me ‘cause you’re my friend. I don’t have to be around you everyday to be your friend."

"I never really had a big relationship with [Jason] Geter [CEO for Grand Hustle], he was cool, I guess. But the relationship I had with Tip was like my partner in the street."

"I thought it was a friendship. From what just happened, it wasn’t. It is what it is."

Though T.I. may have verbally given him his pink slip, Alfamega's contract with the label is still intact.

"I never got a phone call from nobody. Ain’t nobody told me nothing. Only think I got was, my niggas from the hood told me he was on the radio." He tells AllHipHop.

"We never received any documentation." Added his manager Reek Walker.

"Technically, Alfa is still a member of Grand Hustle. Tip can denounce him all he wants, but as long as that contract is in [place], he’s still there."
