  • Did Keri Hilson Throw MORE Shade at Beyonce? [VIDEO]

    Nov, 29 2011 | Written by ATLien

    Keri Hilson looked amazing on the red carpet of the 2011 Soul Train Awards, which was taped in Atlanta’s Fox Theatre November 17th, but behind little did we know that beautiful blanks stare was a ton of shade.

    [2011 Soul Train Awards Red Carpet PHOTOS]

    It’s been about 3 years since Keri killed her career caused a ton of controversy after telling an Atlanta radio station that she wanted “to be distanced from” her ‘Turnin’ Me On’ remix, the “diss track” she recorded about Beyonce, but word on the curb is that Keri’s still taking shots at Queen B.

    As Keri was interviewed by several outlets on the 2011 Soul Train Awards Red Carpet, a Juicy Magazine reporter asked her if she would display their latest issue while giving them a drop (i.e. a shout out for the magazine).

    What happened next will no doubt be added to Keri’s list of losses for 2011 (which includes Keri’s insensitive tweet just days after Amy Winehouse’s death, her constant display of worldwide crotch-ism PLUS Hilson being sucker punched onstage by what was most likely a disgruntled Beyonce Stan).

    Kandi Burruss Launches Yet Another Business Venture: “Kandi Koated Spades”…. [PHOTOS]

    Nov, 29 2011 | Written by ATLien

    If you ever had any doubts about Kandi Burruss‘ business acumen… I suggest you think again! You can call her whatcha want… but you’ll never call her “broke”!

    The Grammy award winning Real “Housewife” of Atlanta has her hand in several pots…. from her “Bedroom Kandi” line of sex toys to her “star search” like new show that’s been given the green light on Bravo, Kandi stays winning! And by “winning” I mean she’s totally in the black!

    ???All SPADES errr-thang! ?????

    Earlier this month, Kandi hosted “Game Night” at her TAGS boutique as a precursor to her new venture… (click HERE if you missed that) and now,? just in time for the holidays, the music and reality show celeb has developed a new twist to a classic card game, and is introducing Kandi Koated Spades, the first “urban” Spades app for iPhone/iPad users – available now via the iTunes App Store!

    “Me and my family are avid Spades players,” says Burruss.

    “So when the opportunity to create Kandi Koated Spades presented itself, I jumped at the chance to share this unique app with my fans. I’m a Spades pro and I can promise you that this is the best Spades game on the market!”

    More details about Kandi’s newest business venture below… Continue Reading…

    Lauren London Wants You To Know… [Is She or Isn’t She Knocked up By The Dream?]

    Nov, 29 2011 | Written by ATLien

    Apparently there’s a rumor circulating that actress Lauren London is knocked up because she recently took to the tweets to respond.

    According to Bossip, a fake Fox News Twitter account, @FoxBreakiing, started a rumor last Friday that London (aka Lil Wayne baby mama #3?) is expecting her second child.

    [READ: Meet Lauren London & Lil Wayne’s Son Camron… (EXCLUSIVE PHOTO)]

    But according to the rumor, this time Lil Wayne is NOT the father and therein lies the controversy.

    Lauren felt compelled to respond after being linked with non-other than Lil Wayne baby mama #2 – Nivea?s ex-husband/baby daddy #1 Terius “The-Dream” Nash. Continue Reading…

    Raymond vs. Raymond: Usher’s Ex-Wife Tameka Raymond Files “PAPERS” Seeking Full Custody + More Child Support…

    Nov, 29 2011 | Written by ATLien

    Usher Raymond just can not get Tameka Foster Glover Raymond off of his back and he’s headed back to court tomorrow (November 30, 2011) to battle his ex-wife yet again.

    It feels like deja vu all over again, except this time it was Tameka who filed dem “Papers” against Usher!

    Tameka is reportedly so pissed off about Ursh closing her Saks 5th Avenue account, that she’s seeking to gain full custody of the couple’s two son’s, Usher V (3) and Navyid (2).

    Usher was spotted spending time with his sons just last week in NYC, but Meka says that her ex has repeatedly failed to follow her instructions regarding his handling of the boys, and because of that (and her canceled Saks card), she feels he doesn’t deserve to maintain joint custody.

    Tameka also maintains in the legal docs that Usher’s income has increased significantly since their divorce, and she’s asking the court to grant her more child support “because of his success.”

    Cue Diddy…. “it’s all about the benjamins, babeeee!”

    Nov, 28 2011 | Written by ATLien

    Mary J. Blige preformed a crowd pleasing LIVE concert at Atlanta’s historic Tabernacle last weekend for a standing room only ?My Life? concert (November 25, 2011).

    MJB hit the stage in the intimate venue and took fans back in time, performing ALL of her hits from her first album, “My Life”….

    VIDEO: Mary J. Blige Performs “My Life” LIVE…

    Mary J. Blige lands in Atlanta with a rare performance; the entire My Life CD performed LIVE. Great show! A friend peeped me to this when they saw video; thinking she was upset that folks were singing (See 1:57).

    TRUST ME! Mary J. was moved that everyone was singing. Real fans were DEF in the building for this show and Mary J was moved by it. Did anyone catch that she missed one song from My Life? She skipped “No One Else” yet still a great show and show concept. Enjoy FAM!

    From sad single Mary to happily married Mary… we love her both the same.

    More photos from the concert PLUS more video of Mary’s flashback performances: “Be Happy,” “All Night Long,” and more… 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. 👽🛸

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?
