Grand Hustle’s Alfamega sat down for a little one-on-one with StraightFromTheA.com. The larger than life rapper, dubbed the “muscle” behind T.I.’s P$C clique got up close and personal about the 2008 Dirty Awards fight and it’s aftermath.  Alfa discusses why he felt he had to defend himself and also reveals that it wasn’t he who started the fiasco. He talked at length about being maced and pepper sprayed by the police and cleared up any misconceptions about him being arrested that night. Alfa also expressed sincere concerns about the escalating drama between Grand Hustle and D4L and apologizes to Radio One and the fans of Atlanta for his part in the situation:

“Sometimes certain things must happen in order to make a right thing come about.  God destroyed the world in order to make it back RIGHT again.  It takes sometimes a disaster to make things right…”

Alfamega also took some time to answer a few questions from his fans. I sent out a Twitter Message asking readers what they wanted to know about Alfamega. Although some of y’all were tryna get me killed, I stood strong and asked the tough questions just for you!  Check out Alfa’s answers to your questions (on tape) below (hilarious!) : (more…)

The 2008 Dirty Awards were held in Atlanta last night and the event, although star-studded, was less than spectacular. The show, presented by Radio One’s Hot 107.9, ended up being a Hot “A”ss Mess as police had to break up fighting amongst some of the performers.  Prior to the fighting, several Atlanta A-listers like Goodie Mob’s Big Gipp + Khujo Goodie, Monica, Soulja Boy, Gorilla Zoe and more were spotted glammed up for the red carpet:

Monica was rocking the red carpet as usual! You go girl

Gorilla Zoe

The event was marred by a fight that broke out presumably between Shawty Lo’s posse and T.I.’s clique. Shawty Lo performed and I’m told his ad libs took jabbs at T.I. and his crew.  Once Yung LA and T.I. took the stage to perform “Ain’t I,” T.I.’s ending message didn’t sit well with some of Shawty Lo’s Bankhead crew in the audience and bottles and fists flew.  I’ve heard that Alfamega had to be maced and that Big Kuntry was also subdued by police.  More flix + Video footage of the debacle below *Updated with Better Footage*: (more…)
