    Nov, 23 2010 | Written by ATLien

    As the drama continues surrounding Fantasia Barrino and her married boyfriend, new revelations have come to light.

    Tasia, who’s currently involved in a legal dispute with Cook’s wife (or soon to be ex-wife) Paula, recently took the stand in the couples divorce case and admitted she was once pregnant by her married boyfriend Antwaun Cook and had an abortion around the time same time as her failed suicide attempt hit the media!

    According to Radar Online, Tasia made the sensational confession in a North Carolina court on Monday during Cook?s divorce proceeding with his ex-wife Paula.

    Facing questions before a Mecklenburg County Court judge, the famous singer, 26, was pressed on whether she knew Cook was living with Paula when they embarked on their illicit affair.

    The Idol season three winner has acknowledged she dated Cook ?off and on for about 11 months? but said she believed he had separated from his wife.

    Facing questions before a Mecklenburg County Court judge, the famous singer, 26, was pressed on whether she knew Cook was living with Paula when they embarked on their illicit affair.

    The Idol season three winner has acknowledged she dated Cook ?off and on for about 11 months? but said she believed he had separated from his wife.

    As previously reported, Fantasia ? who is still dating Antwaun ? attempted to kill herself in August by taking an overdose of aspirin after reading a court complaint filed by Paula naming her as a home wrecker. (MORE)

    Paula is now seriously considering moving forward on her “alienation of affection” lawsuit. As you know, she and Tasia attempted to privately settle the matter last month but mediation fell through.

    This is getting messier and messier by the day…

    T.I. Admits Addiction to PainKillers But Denies Tiny Has a Problem…

    Nov, 22 2010 | Written by ATLien

    Clifford “T.I.” Harris has finally admitted that he has a drug problem.

    Just days prior to turning himself in to serve his 11 month sentence for probation violations stemming from an L.A. drug arrest, Tip? sat down with VIBE Magazine’s Erik Parker for a very candid interview.

    In an excerpt from the explosive cover story, T.I. reveals that he developed an addiction to pain pills after having oral surgery.

    I had a lot of work done to my teeth. Oral surgery, extractions, six, seven, eight root canals. Between January to February. As soon as I got out, I had a lot of stuff done. In the joint, you eat shit that is unhealthy for you. I had fillings that fell out and stuff that had to get dealt with. Of course for the pain they gave me oxycontin and hydrocodone. And, mind you, on October 13, 2007, I had cut off everything?weed, alcohol.

    Then I get these pills and I start taking them for the pain at first. And then I?m like, Wait?this shit makes me feel good. Continue Reading…

    One one One with Lupe Fiasco… [VIDEO]

    Nov, 22 2010 | Written by ATLien

    I got a chance to get up close and personal with Lupe Fiasco last night as Atlantic Records held a private dinner reception/listening session for his upcoming “Lasers” project.

    The event, hosted by Tree Sound Studios, was an intimate affair that allowed Lupe to discuss his vision amongst his A-town “family and friends”.

    Lupe’s 3rd solo project,”Lasers,” is set to be released March 8, 2011 and Lupe is hot on the promo trail.

    Lu admits that his music isn’t meant to be played in the club and that he actually seeks to inspire people and create thought provoking music… but sometimes smart doesn’t sell.

    It’s like a revolutionary album. I was really inspired by inspiring social activism. So a lot of the music has a social kind of awareness edge to it… a social justice edge to it.

    It’s less about making songs to make songs but making songs with a purpose. I actually tried to challenge myself on this album — compared to my last album — to make music that was a little more popular… not pop! but a little more “popular,” so that I can engage a wider audience with my music…

    I agree. Sometimes you’ve gotta “dumb it down” to get people to pay attention… such is life.

    Check out more of what Lupe has to say below PLUS listen to his first single “The Show Goes On”: Continue Reading…

        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. 👽🛸

        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?
