Tupac's Former Bodyguard: I Was Undercover FBI

Posted Oct 20th 2007 3:46PM by TMZ Staff

An ex-bodyguard for Tupac Shakur claims to have been an undercover FBI agent during the four years he was employed by Death Row.

During a Q&A screening for the new DVD, "Tupac Assassination - Conspiracy or Revenge?" Kevin Hackie revealed for the first time that he was an FBI agent -- not an informant, which had been previously reported. Hackie worked undercover as a bodyguard for Death Row from 1992-1996. Shakur died on September 13, 1996.

Kevin Hackie is now retired from law enforcement and runs a private security firm. "Tupac Assassination" is in stores Tuesday, October 23.

4. The FBI maybe involved in Tupac Shakur's assassination?

They don't do that sort of thing do they?

7. Makes sense to me. I mean after his stint as "bodyguard" to Tupac and the resulting
murder, I'd think one's job/career would be over. Clearly, not a good bodyguard. Perhaps he was a better FBI agent. (I don't believe it either) I'll definitely investigate.
