TUPAC BODYGUARD SAYS HE WAS UNDERCOVER FBI:

TUPAC BODYGUARD SAYS HE WAS UNDERCOVER FBI:
 
 Kevin Hackie breaks news during screening of new DVD about rapper's murder.
 
 
    *A former bodyguard for Tupac Shakur admitted Tuesday that he was actually an undercover FBI agent at the time of his employment, and not an informant as previously reported.

      Kevin Hackie made the claim during a Q&A segment that followed a screening of the new documentary "Tupac: Assassination - Conspiracy or Revenge?" in Los Angeles.

       Hackie, who was employed as Tupac's bodyguard and part of the security detail for Death Row Records from 1992-1996, made the revelation in response to an alleged Los Angeles Police Department officer who was in the crowd and defended the department's investigation into Tupac's murder.

       In 2004, Hackie stated in a filed declaration that he had "personal knowledge" about Notorious B.I.G.'s murder and that people within Death Row offered $25,000 dollars to a law enforcement officer to carry out the slaying.       

       "Tupac Assassination - Conspiracy or Revenge?," available on DVD Oct. 23, examines alleged shortcomings of the Los Angeles Police Dept. in the murder investigation. The DVD also introduces new facts about the rapper's murder.      

       Hackie claimed that former officer David Mack and a number of LAPD officers worked as "covert agents" for Death Row Records and that Shakur was murdered because Death Row CEO Marion "Suge" Knight allegedly owed Shakur millions in unpaid royalties.
