Da Brat Inks Tatt in Honor of Michael Jackson… [PHOTOS]

Apr, 19 2011 | Written by ATLien

Shawntae “Da Brat” Harris is slowly but surely getting acclimated to life on the outside since her return from a 3 year “vacation stemming from that infamous bottle beatdown in an Atlanta club.

Da Brat is even back in the studio and riding high off of the success of her hot verse on the SoSo Def remix of Chris Brown’s “Look at Me Now”.

Michael Jackson must really mean a lot to Brat, who was incarcerated during the time of his death.

Recently, she felt the need to honor the pop icon in a very special way… by getting a tattoo of his famous image on her leg! *sigh*

Check out Brat’s new Tatt below: Continue Reading…

DaBrat: Out of Jail & In the Studio With Jermaine… [VIDEO]

May, 26 2010 | Written by ATLien

When I first saw this pic on JD’s twitter timeline, I thought it was an old pic. Then I saw the next tweet:

Last I heard, DaBrat was organizing prison talent shows but apparently now she’s out of jail… well at least for a few hours Monday-Friday. DaBrat’s been such a stellar prisoner that she’s been granted work release.

She hit the SoSo Def studio last night with Jermaine to catch up and I’m sure they had a lot to talk about since we all know he never visited her in jail.

Mugshot Mania ~ Da Brat (Part II)

Aug, 25 2008 | Written by ATLien

Da Brat aka Shawntae Harris started her 3 year bid the other day in Dekalb county jail for felony aggravated assault for hitting Studio 72 employee Shayla Smith with a rum bottle. I can honestly say that Shawntae is on some other ish right now. Dude Chick’s going to jail for acting stupid and is still playing games! SMH! I guess jail will be just another vacation spot. Enjoy it while it lasts Brat!
