    Kandi Burruss Speaks On Controversy Surrounding “Stay Prayed Up” Gospel Release [COVER ART]

    Feb, 17 2013 | Written by ATLien

    Kandi Stay Prayed Up

    Kandi Burruss of? The Real Housewives of Atlanta has released the artwork that will accompany her new gospel single “Stay Prayed Up.”

    The song has both the gospel and secular music industry buzzing and the song, which features the vocals of Pastor Marvin Sapp, has actually surprised those who have heard the final product.

    [FLASHBACK: Kandi Burruss Invites Estranged Dad to Studio… (PHOTOS)]

    Burruss, who also plays host to ?Kandi Koated Nights,? a popular late night web series covering all things sex, and creator of ?Bedroom Kandi,? (her line of pleasure products and sex toys), shocked the public with news she teamed up with Sapp for the release of the gospel single.

    While she’s fully aware of the controversial nature of it all, Kandi shared a few of the lyricis as well as her thoughts about the criticism she’s received about her choice to venture into ‘church music’.

    RHOA S5 EP14 StraightFromTheA-23

    While most of the world was watching the 55th Annual Grammy Awards, the 14th episode of the 5th season of The Real Housewives of Atlanta aired last night (February 10, 2013).

    The show, entitled “Prayed Up” was in my opinion, the most BORING episode this season.

    Two observations:?Porsha Stewart got way too much camera time this week and “Krazy”?Kenya Moore seems to be on a mission of damage control.RHOA S5 EP14 StraightFromTheA-29

    I almost don’t even have to write my “5 things” because Bravo wrote them for me in their synopsis:

    Porsha is pulling out all the stops to throw Kordell a Harlem Renaissance-themed party for his 40th.

    Cynthia isn’t pleased with Porsha?s lack of support she has dedicated to her pageant, and tempers flare when she confronts Porsha.

    Kandi meets with her manager Don Juan, who’s concerned about her lack of focus lately.

    At his big party, Kordell sets Cynthia and Porsha straight by helping to mend their relationship.

    Meanwhile, Kenya is shocked when she finds two suspicious lumps in her breasts.

    Jermaine Dupri Speaks On Bow Wow’s Kandi Rant…

    Feb, 7 2013 | Written by ATLien

    Jermaine Dupri StraightFromTheA 4

    Jermaine Dupri is prepping for his 20th anniversary all-star concert and it seems that just about all of the old SoSo Def gang is ready, willing and able to participate in the festivities.

    Dupri made a grand announcement about the upcoming show, which is scheduled for February 23rd in Atlanta, as he stood beside Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed on the steps of Atlanta’s City Hall.

    [READ: Jermaine Dupri Hits Up Atlanta’s City Hall For Special Announcement (PHOTOS + VIDEO)]

    Former and current SoSoDef artists, friends and supporters all took part in the press conference, but many were left speculating about Xscape, the girl group that once featured Kandi Burruss, sisiters LaTocha & Tameka Scott, and Tameka “Tiny” Cottle?

    Bow Wow Jermaine Dupri StraightFromTheABow Wow aka ‘Mr. 106 & Park’ left SoSoDef for the greener pastures of Lil Wayne‘s Young Money Records, but he still plans to participate in Jermaine’s anniversary celebration.

    And although he’s actually had his own share of issues with Jermaine, that didn’t stop Bow Wow from trying to call out Kandi regarding her decision NOT to reunite with her former group members for the SoSoDef Anniversary concert.

        For YEARS y’all invited us into everything — t For YEARS y’all invited us into everything — the love, the prenup, the babies, the fights, the businesses… all of it on reality TV.
But NOW that the divorce is in court, suddenly it’s “seal the documents & protect my privacy”? 🤔

Meanwhile Todd ain’t trying to seal a thing.
So what changed? And what doesn’t she want the public to see?
Let’s talk about it… 👀🍿

        They try to silence strong Black women for telling They try to silence strong Black women for telling the truth — but somehow misogyny gets rewarded with views, clicks, and applause.

What’s even more disturbing? So many women are cheering it on.
At some point, we have to ask: Why is disrespect toward Black women still profitable?

This isn’t entertainment.
This is accountability.

        This was not a “read.” This was an unprovoked, This was not a “read.” This was an unprovoked, problematic rant — and it needed to be called out. Junkie Dineva went after Tamar Braxton’s parents, upbringing, and mental health for no legitimate reason, and that kind of misogyny should never be excused as entertainment.

Going viral for disrespecting Black women is the real issue — and that’s what we’re unpacking on ATLien Live.

        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?
