    Aug, 21 2009 | Written by ATLien

    A very pregnant Neffe and her gay BFF Dariel were spotted in the Atlanta airport a few weeks ago. Dariel is good for youtubing all of their exploits and honestly, it’s way better than television! So get your Keyshia Cole’s big sis right here right now.? I’ve got 3 clips for your ghetto viewing pleasure.

    Neffe and Dariel strut through the Atlanta airport chopping it up with fans and clowning for the camera in the first clip and in the 2nd clip Neffe shows how good she is at scratching lottery tickets. In the 3rd and final video, Neffe speaks candidly about her new book, “My Happiness Is My Sanity” and shares some secrets from her past.

    The last video really should have been the main topic of this post, but the other two were just so dayum cute!? Anyway, get your ghetto reality fix for the day below:

    Quick Flix ~ Chris Brown, Monica, Keri Hilson, Polow Da Don & More

    Aug, 21 2009 | Written by ATLien

    main-6

    Chris Brown was joined on the set of an upcoming video shoot with a few “A” town favorites, Monica, Keri Hilson and super producer Polow Da Don. Some say that this was a Keri Hilson shoot, but my sources tell me that this was the shoot for the hot new track I shot y’all last week (Ester Dean’s “Drop It Low” ft. Chris Brown).? I dunno who’s right or who’s wrong, but I heard they’re keeping us guessing cause Polow doesn’t want Ester’s image out there yet. Whatever the reasons behind his decision, he’s dead “A”zz serious about it. Dontcha think that’s a bit strange?? Even I can’t find a pic of that heffa no dayum where…? Wassup with that Polow?

    Chris, Polow, Melody Thornton, Omarion

    Keri’s looking great as usual. She’s scheduled to be at the grand opening of Carol’s Daughter in Lenox Square Mall Sunday August 23rd at 12 pm. Y’all need to check that out.

    Single Again? Nelly & Ashanti Break Up

    Aug, 21 2009 | Written by ATLien

    Nelly & Ashanti

    Word on the street is that Nelly & Ashanti have parted ways:

    A source close to the couple told the New York Daily News that they two split up because she was ready to get married, but he wasn?t willing to put a ring on it. Reportedly he?s been having a good time as a single man, and he?s recently been seen in Las Vegas and Miami with video vixen Jessica Rabbit.

    So far, neither Nelly nor Ashanti have said anything about the alleged split. (source)

    I dunno how true this is, but it has been quite some time since we’ve seen the two actually kickin it as a couple. Nelly was spotted recently chilling? at Chris Brown’s skate party alongside Polow Da Don and a ton of groupies:nelly & polow

    I guess he’s fair game now…? (Wassup Polow!)

    ATL Flashback ~ Big Rube’s “Love’s Deceit”

    Aug, 21 2009 | Written by ATLien

    Did y’all even pay attention to the words of Big Rube’s “Love’s Deceit” poem while you were drooling over T.I. (or Lauren London)? Peep game:

    Pleasure turns to the pain of lessons learned from the strain of the questions burned in my brain about whether love is humane in its touch
    These thoughts are like salmon swimming upstream in the tears of your deceit
    Fighting a current hurt that kills more than is created by the chaos of our intertwined emotions
    Chaotic because the anchor of Eros? arrow has been plucked from the vessel of my undying infatuation
    Separation not as simple as the distance between us
    My mind no longer possessed by the demons that had been the overseers of my enslavement to your lies
    The seeds of these lies rooted so deeply they?ve cracked the foundation of what we once shared
    Allowing the faith in us I had sealed inside to gush out like a river
    Ripping the image of our future together from my thoughts as violently and as brutally as if it were a child being taken from its mothers arms
    I?m left surrounded in darkness but I refuse to be swallowed by it
    My loneliness like night air; invisible to the eye obvious to the touch, in its cold uncomfortable ness
    Yet If I could do all over again I?d do it in the same skin I?m in
    To lay down and let love die, just stay down and let love lie
    No, no, no, no, not I
    I?ll stay around and let love fly
    Even though I?ve seen its darkest form; deceit
    Nothing else could tastes this warm or feel this sweet

    Did Tameka Foster Glover Raymond Plagiarize Huffington Post Blog?

    Aug, 20 2009 | Written by ATLien

    byetweeps2Photo via Twitter

    Tameka Foster Glover Raymond’s “Pretty For A Black Girl” Blog Post caught mad flack the moment it was spotted. Sad thing is, in what appeared to be a sincere effort on TFGR’s part to garner sympathy during this trying time, may have actually been nothing more than a good cut & paste job.

    Friend in my head, Freshalina, sent over Jawn Murray’s revelation that Tameka has been accused of stealing her idea from a published book entitled…”Pretty For A Black Girl.”

    9781438954097_cover.indd

    The book’s author, Aisha Curry, hit up Black Voices to shed some light on how she feels her work may have been ganked and used by TFGR without consent:

    My heart sank into my stomach. All the hard work, all the sleepless nights I had endured was playing back in my head as I read this article written by a woman I didn’t even know,” Curry told BV Buzz.

    “Why did I feel so connected to this article? Suddenly, it came to me. It was my work! It was my work, my voice, but in her words. I was frozen. Tears began rolling down my face as I read line after line after line. I couldn’t believe it. The idea that someone could gain notoriety from an issue that I first brought to the forefront is mindboggling. People were praising her for tackling an issue that had never been exposed. Hello?!? I wrote the book on it and started it years ago. The only difference between her article and my book is she used ‘dark-skinned’ and I used ‘Black.'”

    In the infamous words of Miss. Fresh…. “Margeaux stay losing…”? Click Here to read the full revelation over at BV.

        Straight From the A to the Hall of Fame! This one Straight From the A to the Hall of Fame! This one hits different. 👽🛸

OutKast’s induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame 2025 isn’t just a win for hip-hop — it’s a celebration of Atlanta’s heartbeat. Before there was Real Housewives, Love & Hip Hop, or any Atlanta reality show, there was the Atlanta music scene — real stories, real people, and a creative energy that could only come from the Southside.

I grew up in Southwest Atlanta, and back then, it wasn’t unusual to bump into (or run with) the same circles as OutKast and the Dungeon Family. We were all just young ATL dreamers finding our voices, our style, and our lane. Somewhere along the way, I kinda inserted myself as an unofficial member of that crew, a sister to the culture, always front and center, documenting the movement before “content creator” was even a thing.

When I started blogging in 2007, Straight From The A wasn’t about reality TV or viral gossip. It was about the music, the movement, and the people who put Atlanta on the map. My blog name, my pen name ATLien, my whole digital identity was inspired by @outkast , @goodiemob , @killermike , @ceelogreen @sleepybrown , and the whole Dungeon Family - the original ATLiens who made the world respect the South. 

And Killer Mike — I’ll never forget how you encouraged me to keep pushing nearly 20 years ago when blogging was still that “weird internet thing.”

Today, I celebrate the legends who defined Atlanta’s sound, spirit, and swagger. True innovators. True visionaries. Forever ATL. 👽🛸

After all that eviction tea, the doors are locked and lights out. Big shoutout to @millichun for sliding by to check out the scene! 

Is Kenya really Gone With the Rent? Or is Friday her off day? 👀

        The Kenya Moore Hair Spa drama just got even MESSI The Kenya Moore Hair Spa drama just got even MESSIER, chile! 
The landlord has officially clapped back in court — filing their answer to Kenya’s counterclaim, and whew, they brought receipts on receipts! 

According to the filing, Kenya hasn’t paid a dime in rent or utilities since December 2024, which technically makes her a squatter! 😬 And about that $80K tenant improvement allowance she’s been fighting for? The landlord says she’s in default and violated several terms, meaning that deal is void.

This whole thing is turning into a Bravo-level courtroom saga… minus the peach! 🍑

The full 99-page amended complaint (with all the juicy details) is available now on Patreon + Members Only! http://patreon.com/atlien or hit the link in bio for the exclusive legal tea.

So what do y’all think? Can Kenya spin this, or is the Hair Spa officially a wrap?

She said “one closing down, more to come” — so is this a boss move or a sign she’s liquidating assets after that prenup drama?
