  • Grand Hustle Celebrates T.I.’s Homecoming With AKOO Brunch… [PHOTOS]

    Oct, 3 2011 | Written by ATLien

    As BET Hip-Hop awards weekend came to a welcome end, Clifford “T.I.” Harris held is annual post-show brunch.

    This year Grand Hustle’s brunch was a bit different.

    With his wife Tameka “Tiny” Cottle-Harris by his side the entire weekend, Tip hosted a slew of parties virtually drama free and stacked quite a bit of cash.

    As you know he’d been released from federal custody just days before, so this year’s Brunch was treated as a celebratory “coming home” of sorts.

    Only a few days free, Tip had already conducted a few interviews, dropped a new song, hit the stage during the BET Hip Hop Awards (sneak peek video) alongside Jeezy and pocketed a ton of dough hosting parties.

    There were plenty of supporters in the house for T.I., including Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed, Real “Housewife”/Attorney Phaedra Parks and her hubby Apollo Nida, Nelly, Antonia “Toya” Wright, Dj Toomp, Heavy D, Rocko, and the list goes on.

    Noticeably absent from the event was Sean “Diddy” Combs, who’s Ciroc branded vodka was one of the event’s sponsors. I’m assuming he was still a bit salty after Tip issued that verbal smack down at the club the night before… but I’m sure he’ll get over it one day.

    Vodka Wars: T.I. Puts Diddy in Check at BET AfterParty… [VIDEO]

    Oct, 2 2011 | Written by ATLien

    Word on the curb is that Clifford “T.I.” Harris checked the hell outta Sean “Diddy” Combs last night at Compound.

    Apparently Diddy got into it with someone drinking something other than Ciroc and words were exchanged.

    [Sidebar: Same ish different day… Remember Diddy’s “piss” comment?]

    Somewhere in the mix, lifestyle specialist/Grey Goose spokesperson Kenny Burns attempts to squash all the drama but fails and Tip grabs a mic and promptly gives Diddy and those “Ciroc Boys” a piece of his previously imprisoned mind.

    What’s going on in this muthaf**ka? I’m going to tell you like this, you will NOT f*ck my hundred million up for nothing in this muthaf*cka. I don’t give a f*ck what’s going on!

    I ain’t for that fight sh*t. I will get the f*ck on out of this b*tch and let ya’ll have it. I’ve done enough time! Ain’t nobody else in this muthaf*cka talking about fighting and did time. I ain’t trying to do it.

    Puff, you got too much money for that sh*t nicca. Let that n*gga drank what the f*ck he wanna drink, f*ck that sh*t! They ain’t getting money for drinking that sh*t, they payin’ to drank that sh*t!

    I love you and will go to war for you but come on man!”

    And the look on Diddy’s face? Priceless…

    T.I. SPEAKS! 1st Radio Interview Since Prison Release + New Music “I’m Flexin'”… [PHOTOS + VIDEO]

    Oct, 1 2011 | Written by ATLien

    Clifford “T.I.” Harris completed his 11-month prison sentence Thursday (September 29, 2011) and was released from the halfway house he called home.? Now he’s officially a free man and there’s been several Tip sightings around town…

    Nelly, Frank Ski, Kevin Liles, Big Boi, T.I., DJ Tayrock

    ?Yesterday, (September 30, 2011) during his first full day as a free man, Tip hit up several BET Hip-Hop Awards weekend ceremonies, he also hit up Atlanta radio station V-103 where he talked about being free and some of the issues that prevented him from early release:

    I could abide by the law and do everything that I’m supposed to do on paper… but there are certain things that I do, that my LIFE allows me to do, i.e. RIDE A BUS from so and so to so and so, which is totally within the law, but because someone says, ‘I disagree with it, I don’t like that’ then that puts me in a certain public perception….

    There’s more, but as an added drop in the bucket, Tip has already dropped some new tunes.

    I checked my email yesterday and had a nice little surprise. Atlantic records had sent over T.I.’s first post-prison single, entitled, “I’m Flexin’,” featuring Big K.R.I.T.

    Watch Tip’s recent radio interviews where he discusses how great it feels to finally be free PLUS listen to his new song “I’m Flexin'” ft. Big K.R.I.T. below: Continue Reading…

    Free Again! T.I. Released From Halfway House + Plans Sunday Brunch For A Few Friends…

    Sep, 29 2011 | Written by ATLien

    Clifford “T.I.” Harris is finally free from the constraints of his federal prison sentence.

    Tip’s attorney, Steve Sadow, confirmed that T.I. left the Dismas Charities Atlanta halfway house “very early this morning” after spending? the last year in federal custody and the last two weeks at the halfway house.

    Reportedly T.I. left the halfway house just after midnight. Without fanfare, he got into a chauffeur-driven SUV and rode off.

    Since his release coincides with the BET Hip-Hop awards (perfect timing) Tip will rest for a few hours and will then start celebrating his freedom Friday evening with a coming home party at an Atlanta club and his Grand Hustle has dedicated it’s annual Sunday brunch in honor of the rapper’s return.

    The private brunch is invitation only and estimated to cost around $100,000, with $20,000 spent on food and an additional $8,000 on desserts.

    It will be hosted by T.I. and Amar?e Stoudemire of the NY Knicks, who in addition to being?Ciara’s ex-boo is a close friend of the Grand Hustle Family. Amare’ even joined forces with Tip a few years ago to promote one of his artists.

    [READ: Amare Stoudemire & T.I. Celebrate Collaboration ~ PHOTOS]

    The brunch is has several high profile sponsors and they will be giving away tons of free goodies. Since I wasn’t privy enough to get any tickets to give away, click over to SandraRose to enter to win VIP access.

    Reality Show Alert: “T.I.’s Family Hustle” To Premiere in December…

    Sep, 21 2011 | Written by ATLien

    As Clifford “T.I.” Harris serves the final week of his sentence at an Atlanta Halfway House, VH1 is preparing to tape his reality show.

    When it was revealed that Tip was releasing a book and participating in yet another reality show, the title was unavailable.

    It has now been revealed that Tip’s VH1 reality series will be called ?T.I.?s Family Hustle? but due to the fact that VH1 producers being aboard the tour bus during Tip’s initial prison release and ride to Atlanta from Arkansas was the straw that landed Tip back in jail, not much has been said about the premise of the show.

    However, Tip’s book, “Power & Beauty: A Love Story of Life on the Streets” is scheduled for release October 18, 2011 and can be pre-ordered HERE.

    Are you looking forward to watching T.I.’s Family Hustle? What do you expect from this new show?

    First Pics of T.I. Fresh Out The Clink… [PHOTOS]

    “No one at the halfway house got SWAGGA like Tip!”
    Clifford “T.I.” Harris was photographed yesterday as he arrived “back for the first time” to the same Atlanta halfway house that the Feds took him from just a few weeks ago.

    [READ: T.I. Returned Federal Custody Just Moments After His Arrival… ]

    Tip arrived rocking a pair of camouflage shorts and a t-shirt, all smiles with a lil extra pep in his step. It’s clear from the pics that he’s happy to be out in the sunshine (an “halfway” free man).

    Everyone involved in that huge Grand Hustle caravan that carted Tip back to Atlanta from Arkansas August 30th seem to have stayed home this time. [Sidebar: I’m sure they’ve learned their lesson by now.]

    At any rate, Tip will be residing at his new home until September 29, 2011.

    What do you think Tip should title his next album?

        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?
