It is often said that the past will always come back to haunt you. And nothing could be truer in Hip Hop as of late.

The Smoking Gun, the same folks who brought Rick Ross's C.O. past to light, have unearthed yet another rapper's shady past. According to reports, Grand Hustle's "Alfamega" has an 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.'

According to The Smoking Gun, Alfamega, who's real name is Cedric Zellars, began working law enforcement officials after he was sentenced to 110 months behind bars for a federal gun case in 1995.

Zellars "agreed to cooperate with authorities and was debriefed" about the criminal activity of several individuals and helped put Ali Baaqar behind bars.

During his cooperation against Baaqar, Zellars met with a DEA agent and a federal prosecutor, then subsequently testified at trial.

"Ali Baaqar was convicted of conspiracy to distribute heroin based upon the trial testimony of [Zellars] and others."

In return, Zellars had 18 months shaved off his prison term. Federal prosecutors petitioned the jurist to reduce Zellars's sentence in light of his "substantial assistance to the Government."
