  • Brian McKnight’s “Freaky” Coochie Song Gains Popularity + Tank Calls Song “Disrespectful” [AUDIO]

    Apr, 27 2012 | Written by ATLien

    Brian McKnight admits that he was “crazy” for pu**y when he wrote that freaky sneaky coochie song the other day.

    [READ: Brian McKnight Reveals Freaky Adult Tune Via Twitter – VIDEO]

    McKnight recently revealed that he only wrote the song after going a lil stir crazy at home recovering from surgery the past few weeks, stating:

    “I’ve been home for a month … I’ve got this boot on my foot. I’m like a month away from Achilles tendon surgery, so I’ve been stuck in the house.”

    Brian added, the song “isn’t for everyone. It’s a parody. I’m having fun because basically I have nothing else else to do.”

    The song, entitled “If You’re Ready To Learn” is also fast becoming the hottest thing on and off-line these days.

    Fellow crooner Tank has called him out for being “disrespectful” to his fans by releasing the tune, while the adult industry is salivating just THINKING about the money they can make from the connection.

    What do Ma$e, Montel Jordan & Marlo Hampton All Have in Common?

    Apr, 27 2012 | Written by ATLien

    I bet you’ll never guess what former Badboy/ Diddy sidepiece kick Mason Betha and 90’s rap icon Montel Jordan have in common with Real Housewives of Atlanta background character/ex-con Marlo Hampton…

    Lets’ see… besides the fact that Ma$e was arrested for picking up a tranny?in Atlanta that time (and no, the Tranny wasn’t Marlo!), all 3 live in ATL… but that ain’t it.

    Montel quit music to become an Atlanta pastor and Ma$e and his wife Twyla had their own Atlanta congregation online and off.

    While both Ma$e and Montel have been heavily involved in spreading the gospel of our heavenly father to their respective churches, but I doubt that Martavious Marlo has ever stepped foot in a pulpit.

    Montel and Ma$e also hit the height of their popularity as rappers back in the 90’s, but I don’t think that Marko Marlo ever spit a verse on wax.

    And if you’re thinking it’s because all of their names start with “M”… well think again!

    Details below… Continue Reading…

    Kandi Burruss Hosts Kandi Koated Nights with Special Guest Tyra Sanchez (Drag Race) [PHOTOS + VIDEO]

    Apr, 27 2012 | Written by ATLien

    I attended Kandi Burruss’ weekly late night talk show Kandi Koated Nights this week and her special guest was Tyra Sanchez, the winner of RuPaul’s Drag Race.

    Kandi, Tyra, DJ AOne, Nikki Nicole as well as comedians ?Yohanc? Collins and Chris Jones touched on the topic “Girlfriend or Friend Wit Benefits? Who’s Better Off?”

    Interestingly enough Tyra revealed that he/she dates both men and women and that he/she prefers a ‘friend with benefits’ relationship at the moment since he/she has a crush on someone that’s in the industry and Tyra has vowed to save him/her-self until he/she meets them.

    Just FYI… Kandi also spilled a bunch of The Real Housewives of Atlanta like taping starts soon and the newbies have been selected (however she wouldn’t reveal WHO they are).

    Apr, 27 2012 | Written by ATLien

    Singer/actress Brandy hit the stage with BMI Exec. Catherine Brewton last night as risings superstars were spotlighted last night during BMI Presents: Live From Loews the ?Know Them Now? edition (April 26, 2012).

    Fan Mail: Is FUTURE Playing Two Chicks ‘At the Same Dayum Time’? [PHOTOS]

    Apr, 26 2012 | Written by ATLien

    First of all, I’d like to preface this story with the following disclaimer:

    The only thing I know about Future is that he has a new album out, entitled Pluto.

    [READ: Atlanta Legends Support Future’s PLUTO Album Release Party ~ PHOTOS]

    I have no idea who MTO reported was Future’s girlfriend because I don’t read their site. Hell… I don’t even know if he is claiming that he has a “girlfriend” at all,? but since this chick emailed me photographic evidence of her story, I thought I’d let her have her say.

    So without further adieu…

    Here’s what Future’s “REAL” girlfriend wants you to know: 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?

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?
