  • T.I. Kicks Off His Birthday Weekend At Vanquish w/Usher, Gucci Mane, Jeezy, Meek Mills & More… [PHOTOS]

    Sep, 28 2012 | Written by ATLien

    Clifford “T.I.” Harris jumped off his birthday weekend with a huge celebration at Atlanta’s Vanquish nightclub last night (September 27, 2012).

    During his ASCAP “Living Legends” speech, the self-professed king of Atlanta spoke of unity (or lack thereof) between Atlanta artists (click HERE if you missed that), but he managed to bring a few together for his birthday.

    Tip was joined by his wife Tameka “Tiny” Harris, but Usher Raymond, Josh Smith (Atlanta Hawks), Meek Mills all came out to show support.

    Even rapper Young Jeezy fell through after hosting his own black tie event.

    Jay Jenkins aka Young Jeezy held his annual birthday bash at Atlanta’s historic Biltmore Hotel last night (September 28, 2012).

    Jeezy popped bottles and partied the night away amidst a slew of industry execs, artists, fans and friends during his invitation only Black tie event.

    Usher Raymond even made a late night appearance in support of Jeezy, arriving to the black tie event clad in all leather with a slew of his “buddies”…

    T.I. Sends Message to Jermaine Dupri in ASCAP ‘Living Legends’ Speech…. [VIDEO]

    Sep, 28 2012 | Written by ATLien

    Clifford “T.I.” Harris was honored during ASCAP’s 2nd Annual Living Legends Mixer a few days ago and took the opportunity to address the crowd assembled before him.

    After a long drawn out introduction from DeVyne Stephens and Jermaine Dupri, whose father Michael Mauldin was among the honorees of the evening Tip speaks on his path in the Atlanta music industry.

    He admits he was mad at JD for leaving him out of the historic “Welcome to Atlanta” song and talks about how he survived by pure determination and hard work WITHOUT having his opportunities handed to him for “knowing people” in the industry.

    Tip’s speech was so great, I decided to give him his own post!

    Her Words! Tameka Raymond Discusses Why Usher Called Off Their Wedding… [VIDEO]

    Sep, 27 2012 | Written by ATLien

    Tameka Raymond‘s 3 day interview with Entertainment Tonight! continues this evening for the final segment but it seems to me that we’ve all been denied the ability to see it in it’s entirety.

    Bits and pieces of the interview have been released but for some odd reason, the segments that have aired are no where to be found and sorry… but I’m not tryna be posted up in front of the television that time of day.

    [VIDEO1: Tameka Raymond on Losing Kile & Being Labeled “Gold Digger]

    [VIDEO2: Tameka Raymond on Usher?s Bridesmaid confession?]

    At any rate, ET! has released yet another snipped in anticipation of tonight’s segment and this recent clip gives you a bit of Tameka’s insight on why Usher called off their marriage.

    [FLASHBACK: Usher/Tameka Raymond Wedding Photos]

    Back in the Summer of 2007, a 28-year-old Usher left his pregnant fiancee Tameka Foster, then 37, at the altar and called off their wedding the night before.

    Why did he do it?

    Watch the watered down video below for Tameka’s take PLUS find out the real deal about what REALLY happened… Continue Reading…

    Newlyweds Matt Barnes & Gloria Govan Cover Rolling Out… [PHOTOS]

    Sep, 27 2012 | Written by ATLien

    Basketball Wives’ Gloria Govan and her new husband Matt Barnes are featured in the recent issue of RollingOut Magazine where they discuss the decision to finally tie the knot.

    Just last week Gloria Govan (Basketball Wives) and Matt Barnes were spotted partying in Atlanta and speculation ran rampant about the huge rock on her finger.

    [READ: Spotted: Matt Barnes & On Again/Off Again Fiance Gloria Govan in ATL (PHOTOS)]

    While she denied it at the time, apparently the ring DID ‘mean a thing’ because the two had been secretly planning a wedding.

    While in Las Vegas celebrating her sister (and ?Basketball Wives LA? co-star) Laura Govan?s birthday, Gloria and on-again-off-again boyfriend/fiance and LA Clippers player Matt Debarge secretly tied the knot.

    According to The Las Vegas Journal Review, the two exchange their ?I Do?s? at the historic wedding chapel and landmark Little Church of The West. (source)

    Congrats to the happy couple! Now the “Basketball Wife” title actually fits!

        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?
