    I HEARD: Lil Scrappy & Erica Dixon Fake It For The Cameras + Check Out Erica at NY Fashion Week… [PHOTOS]

    Erica Dixon Lil Scrappy All Star 2013
    Lil Scrappy and his baby mama/fiance Erica Dixon were all smiles in this photo Dixon posted on her instagram during All-Star Weekend in Houston last weekend, but word on the curb is that the two have parted ways.

    Sources close to the couple confirmed that Scrappy had finally moved in with his intended and was living a life of per-matrimonal bliss, however things went sour when Erica found out that Scrappy was still running after Shay.

    Erica Dixon StraightfromTheA 3I heard that Scrappy packed up and left after Erica stood her ground about his cheating ways. For the record, Dixon was dayum near broke prior to taking the LHHA gig and apparently now that she’s making her own dough, she’s finally realizing she doesn’t have to deal with Scrappy’s disrespect.

    While the two may not be under the same roof any longer, it’s apparent that they both realize the importance of? maintaining appearances for the sake of their paycheck.

    We’ll most likely see it all play out on the 2nd season of Love & Hip Hop Atlanta.? In the meantime, Erica is stacking even more chips through appearance fees and even recently hit the cat walk during New York Fashion Week.

    ‘Angry Black Woman’ Phrase Costs City of Atlanta $45,000 In Discrimination Settlement…

    Feb, 19 2013 | Written by ATLien

    Businesswoman pulling necktie of a businessman at office desk

    The phrase “Angry Black Woman” has been used time and time again in reference to women of color who are outspoken and opinionated.

    Often times, the woman who gets labeled as such isn’t “angry” at all and coincidentally, you’ll never hear used in reference to a woman of any other race besides Black.

    That being said… an Atlanta City supervisor who uttered the racially-charged phrase has now cost the City and its taxpayers a ton of dough.

    HOT OR NOT? Former Atlanta “Housewife” Lisa Wu Reveals New Look… [PHOTOS]

    Lisa Wu 2013 StraightFromTheA
    Ex-Real Housewife of Atlanta Lisa Wu aka Sharon Millette was spotted at the 2013 Bronner Brother’s Hair Show last weekend.

    I’m not one to gossip, so you didn’t hear this from me…. but I heard that Lisa isn’t doing too well financially these days.

    When Lisa first appeared on RHOA, she had just lost custody of her two sons to ex-husband, singer Keith Sweat.

    Having rushed into a 2nd marriage with former pro-footballer Ed Hartwell, Lisa portrayed herself as a successful career woman with several budding businesses; a real estate firm called Hartwell and Associates, a jewelry line called Wu Girls, a T-shirt line called Hart 2 Hart Clothing, a women’s clothing line called Closet Freaks, and a baby clothing line called Hart 2 Hart Baby.

    Needless to say, none of those businesses exist today and Lisa, whose 2nd husband, Ed Hartwell, divorced her last year, has been struggling to find her way every since.

        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?
