    Feb, 27 2013 | Written by ATLien

    Bobby Brown 020113 StraightFromTheA 2
    A true rhythm and blues badboy will be shackled next to other criminals for 55 days beginning March 23.

    Bobby Brown was arrested last October after cops pulled the singer over for driving erratically, and smelled alcohol in his ride.

    [FLASHBACK: Bobby Brown Upstages Daughter’s Reality Show Premiere with New DUI Arrest… ]

    Following the incident, Brown was charged with DUI and driving on a suspended license. His license had been suspended as a result of his May 2012 DUI conviction. He was also convicted of DUI in 1996.

    According to TMZ:

    Bobby pled no contest to the charges today. He was sentenced to the jail time, plus 4 years probation.

    He was also ordered to complete an 18-month alcohol program. This is Bobby’s third DUI conviction.

    It’s your perogative, but here’s a few thoughts on Brown’s current situation and what some of you diehard Bobby Brown fans should do in support…. Continue Reading…

    Feb, 27 2013 | Written by ATLien

    Eleven cute kids dress as their favorite inspirational African-American role models in recognition of Black History Month (which by the way, should actually be EVERY month as opposed to the shortest month of the year… but I digress).

    Photographer Eunique Gibson Jones shot photos of kids are dressed as inconic Black Americans like?Oprah Winfrey, Rosa Parks, Spike Lee, Keri Washington and Muhammad Ali.

    Jones says it’s her goal to ?empower and excite young people about their history and their future in a creative and yet relatable way? and it appears she definitely hit the mark with her ?Because of Them, We Can? campaign.

    Boo’d Up: Nelly & Tae Heckard Party In ATL… [PHOTOS]

    Feb, 26 2013 | Written by ATLien

    Nelly and New Girlfriend ATL SFTA-29
    There was a whole lotta side-eyein’ going on Sunday night as Nelly arrived at The Gold Room Sunday night with his new boo, Tae Heckard in tow (February 24, 2013).

    For the record, Ashanti held on as long as she could (about 10+ years to be exact). The on again/off again couple even celebrated Shanti’s birthday in Atlanta last October as Nelly threw her a birthday dinner joined by BFF T.I. and Tiny.

    But clearly, things weren’t meant to be and Tae (real name LaShontae) Heckerd is up next on Nelly’s ‘to do’ list.

    20 Years Later: Xscape Performs As A Duo (No Kandi & Tiny) [PHOTOS + VIDEO]

    Feb, 26 2013 | Written by ATLien

    The SoSo Def 20th Anniversary concert hit Atlanta over the weekend and people are still talking about the controversy surrounding Xscape.

    As you know, the 90’s girl group once consisted of sisters LaTocha and Tamika Scott, as well as Kandi Burruss and Tameka “Tiny” Harris but things changed after a bit of internal disagreements within the group.

    Kandi, who has gone on to earn awards with her songwriting expertise and is now a real “housewife” of Atlanta, explained a while back that she’s NEVER revisiting her past and has pretty much said that her days with Xscape are gone.

    [FLASHBACK: Kandi Just Says “NO” to Xscape Reunion… (PHOTOS + VIDEO)]

    Tiny, on the other hand is rumored to be on the fence about the situation. I’ve heard that she would reunite with the group only if Kandi would… (and we already know that ain’t happ’nan).

    [READ: Bow Wow Wants Kandi Burruss To Know… (He’s Pissed About Her SoSo Def Snub)]

    Whatever the case, life goes on and it certainly moved on without Kandi and Tiny this weekend as LaTocha and Tamika hit the stage as a Xscape one mo’ gin… but this time as a duo.

    Wanna find out how they fared? Check out the video below and judge for yourself… 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?
