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.

37. it's a damn shame that a talent was wasted because he had to constantly defend himself from jeolous individuals who had no other motive but to kill him....his mom,the music,the money,the life, could'nt save him. He lived his life the way he wanted, i bet all the people who made those blinded comments about him on this post are white people who have absolutly any idea on what it's like to be ...... what if emenim was murderded, i bet they would cancel school, because he is a real american hero who made millions off of music that he or yall don't give a damn about, thats why bling bling is in the dictionary.CAN'T STOP...WANT STOP

43. Whoever made the comments that because of tupac the world is a worse place? You all need to go kill yourselves. who else spend their time makin almost no money to just say how he feels. who helped so many other people who felt the same as him and who still do because of the world we live in today. the US has the most money in the world yet has the most amount of depressed people. The government and others were jealous that he had so much power just speaking through a mic and you wanna say that just because he rapped he was a bad person? because he talked about the things the average american doesnt wanna hear because its to close to home, to realize that in ur own country everything is messed up even tho all you see is ur white picket fence and suburbia while other people, your fellow country men are dying in the street?
you people need help
