  • Jay-Z’s Roc-A-Fella Co-Founder Busted in Drug Ring…

    Oct, 15 2010 | Written by ATLien

    Kareem ?Biggs? Burke, co-founder of Roc-A-Fella Records, which launched the career of superstar rapper Jay-Z, was among 43 people arrested today in a massive drug sweep spanning from New York to South Florida. I guess Miami was on to something when they used Jay’s image as the face of gang activity in Miami.

    Many of you assume that Damon Dash and Jay-Z were the only founders of the Roc-A-Fella label. Not so. Kareem ?Biggs? Burke happens to be the founder of the now defunct Roc-A-Fella Records.? People fail to realize that Biggs was one of the key factors of the label?s string of success. He was the lo-key man behind the scenes making sure things turned out right. By 2002, the label dissipated amidst rumors of friction amongst it’s founders.

    Jay-Z has often rapped about his days in the drug game, well now one of his associates is in big time trouble with the feds. Continue Reading…

    Mugshot Mania: The Obama Streaker Revealed [Billionaire Refuses to Pay Bet…]

    Oct, 15 2010 | Written by ATLien

    Meet the man who apparently stripped nude in attempt to win a million bucks at a rally for President Obama in Philadelphia on Sunday.

    [READ: Indecent Proposal: Man Runs Nude in Front of Obama for a Million Bucks!]

    As thousands of people gathered to listen to Obama and Vice President Joe Biden energize voters ahead of next month?s election, James Rodriguez, 24, of Staten Island, decided he wanted to show the world his “ASSets”. He was arrested after running near the stage completely naked.

    It was later revealed that Rodriguez’ streaking episode was his attempt to pocket some cash. But now the Staten Island man’s quest to win $1 million by streaking in front of President Obama appears to have backfired.

    The prank may be on him. Rodriguez, an unemployed painter, took up a challenge made by an Internet billionaire when he ran through a crowd, naked as a jaybird, as Obama was delivering a speech on Sunday at a rally in Germantown.

    Only now the billionaire has added an additional requirement before Rodriguez can collect his loot… and it’s not looking like he’s cutting a check any time soon! Continue Reading…

    Mugshot Mania ~ The Toilet Seat Killer?

    Oct, 12 2010 | Written by ATLien

    Meet 40 year old William Thomas Valentine Jr. of Athens, Georgia.? Willie took the above mugshot after he violently beat a man with a toilet seat lid.

    Yes. A toilet seat. Commode. P*ss Pot.

    Valentine is an ex-con who authorities say used the toilet seat lid to bludgeon an Athens man to death early Sunday then kidnapped and later raped a woman who witnessed the attack.

    According to the AthensBanner:

    He is accused of murdering Alfred Lorenzo Harris, 51, in the victim?s home at Garden Apartments on Spring Court off North Avenue.

    Valentine also kidnapped a woman who witnessed the attack, then took her to Madison County and raped her, according to police.

    A friend discovered Harris? body at about noon Sunday, when he brought over some food, police said.

    Investigators determined that Harris had been dead at least nine hours, and identified a lid from his apartment?s toilet as the murder weapon, according to police.

    They quickly identified Valentine as a suspect and a judge signed a murder warrant late Sunday afternoon.

    Valentine has served five stints in state prison, once for an aggravated assault involving a gun in Clarke County, according to the Department of Corrections.

    Investigators arrested Valentine shortly before 12:30 p.m. Monday afternoon (Oct. 12th) at his brother?s house in Oglethorpe County.

    Mugshot Mania: Another UGA Footballer Arrested…

    Oct, 11 2010 | Written by ATLien

    Yet another University of Georgia football player is in the news after being locked up in Athens on Monday (October 11th).

    Georgia running back Caleb King became the school’s 11th football player to be arrested this year. School spokesman Claude Felton said King was picked up in Athens for failing to appear at a court date in nearby Walton County to address a speeding ticket.

    Walton County Sheriff Joe Chapman said King paid a $300 fine after the arrest and he was released Monday morning.

    Felton says coach Mark Richt is aware of the situation and gathering information. The school may have an update later Monday on King’s status for this week’s game against Vanderbilt.

    King is from Norcross and graduated from Greater Atlanta Christian….

    Jay-Z is the Face of Gang Activity in Miami…

    Oct, 8 2010 | Written by ATLien

    Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter may be the wealthiest man in hip-hop but he’s still just another thug in the eyes of the law!

    Jay-Z, who just covered Forbes Magazine as one of the richest men in America, was used by the Miami Police Department in a banner depicting five “thugish” looking characters. His image was portrayed on the departments website in a large mural with the words “Report Gang Activity”…

    The banner which is supposed to encourage the reporting of gang activity features five tough looking men throwing up gang signs and holding weapons. Two of the images appeared to be the distinct image of Jay-Z’s recognizable mug.

    As you can see in the banner, the man in the middle and the man to the left of him look eerily similar to the music mogul.

    According to the MiamiNewTimes, the images have been removed from the website but there has been no comment or explanation from the Miami police department.

    Mugshot Mania ~ Mommy Dearest…

    Oct, 7 2010 | Written by ATLien

    Meet 25 year old Kathelia Grier. Kathelia was arrested in Atlanta yesterday after her 2 year old son was spotted running down the street behind her car!

    A neighbor, Verna Robinson, said she peered out of her window and saw the child running down Northwest Drive in northwest Atlanta and she quickly called for help. Her husband, Ali, went outside to get the child out of the road and called for a neighbor to “stop that baby” because the 2-year old “was booking it” so fast that he couldn’t catch him.

    Ali Robinson took the child to the nearby Auntie Sheree Day Care up the block, where he said someone there said they weren?t missing any children. Ali Robinson said they looked at the boy and said ?he’s not one of ours.?

    But he was. The day care said they didn’t recognize the child at first because he had just had a haircut.

    The toddler’s mother, identified as Kathelia Grier, told police she was running late to drop her kids off at the day care, and that one of the assistants at the day care said they could not accept the children because the drop off deadline had passed.Investigators said when the assistant went inside to call the owner of the day care to get permission for the mother to leave the kids, the mother got in her vehicle and left, leaving the children at the day care.

    The toddler proceeded to run behind the vehicle, at which point residents spotted the toddler, police said.The 2-year-old was not injured in any way.

    Grier?s mother, called to the daycare and told Channel 2 Action News that she wanted her daughter ?arrested for neglect.? (source)

    The mother, 25-year-old Kathelia Grier, has been charged with reckless conduct and is being held at the Fulton County Jail on $1,000 bond.

        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. 👽🛸

        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?
