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.

16. Some FBI agent ... you would think with all the knowlegde of what was going on he would have been able to help with the murder investigation ....you can't tell me that being a body guard for death row he wouldnt know who the enemies were. Thats the body guards job is to protect them from harm. obviously he would need to know who to be looking out for. And its no big surprise that he waits until now to reveal that info....If he had said it then he would be dead too.

23. Old Black Man---I'm sure you are more than available to "do" lots of women of any color, given you dont have what it takes to be a Man or a Father. Stay the Playa you is my brother and keep the Dope, I mean Hope Alive.

24. Yeah, so what did you "uncover" while being undercover for the FBI? Why you wait so long to say this, you gotta book underway and think we're gonna believe you?

You sound like that idiot from the Gong Show who said he was a CIA agent and assasin in between doing game shows.

Smoke a Bowl and come up with something better.

28. Tupac was killed because he had the ability to unite black people against a white establishment.. Think MLK or Malcom X.

How the hell do you put out so many albums when you are dead?

I wish he was dead, he sucks.
