    With the smash hit of “R&B Divas LA” it was only a matter time before someone was branded the “difficult” one.

    No one I know was surprised that Nicci Gilbert became the ‘outcast’ of the Atlanta season? (you’ve gotta be hell on wheels to get kicked off of a show you ‘allegedly’ created, right?), however most were left scratching their heads when industry underdog Kelly Price became ‘that girl’ this season.

    At the start of the L.A. season, Kelly was the one who brought the six ‘divas’ together and introduced the idea of a ‘Vagina Monologues’ type show called ‘Not Your Mama Monologues,’ but her co-stars, mainly Chante Moore and Lil Mo, forged ahead with the idea when Kelly was apparently ‘too busy’ to participate in her own creation.

    [WATCH: Funky Dineva Reviews R&B Divas L.A. Episodes 1-5 (VIDEO)]

    Oddly enough, it was their enthusiasm to proceed that caused a bit of tension and had Kelly coming off as a bit of a control freak. And that’s putting it nicely.

    Speaking out in favor of the Grammy nominee is her fellow ‘Divas’ cast mate Dawn Robinson, who is attempting to do damage control clear the air on the shocking attitude revelations of Mrs. Price.

    Here’s what Dawn wants y’all to know… Continue Reading…

    In Case You Missed It: R&B Divas: L.A. (Season 1, Episode 2) – [FULL VIDEO]

    Jul, 22 2013 | Written by ATLien

    R&B Divas: L.A. continues this week with the airing of the 2nd episode of it’s first season with ‘west coast’ divas Lil Mo, Kelly Price, Dawn Robinson, Claudette Ortiz, Michel’le and Chante Moore.

    The ladies continue to share their personal lives with each other and each reveals a little more each episode.

    [READ: Meet Cast of R&B Divas L.A. (PHOTOS) + Watch Full Premiere Episode (VIDEO)]

    This show is clearly a launchpad for the talented individuals, who otherwise would be chugging along on their own without television as a promo tool.

    City High’s Claudette Ortiz even revealed during a recent interview with Bossip that she was homeless during her musical hiatus and practically living in her car prior to landing her role on the show.

    Prior to the show, I had really hit rock bottom and I was at a crossroads where I just had to [do the show]. All the little odd jobs that I was doing?were not enough to raise my children. So, I had to make a choice of am I going to continue going this way?

    I was having a rough night. I had to leave the place I was at, and I was driving with the things in my trunk and my kids were asleep and I had nowhere to go. And that night Phil Thorton (producer) from the show texted me, but that night I was upset and I was crying.

    R&B Divas: L.A. is like a breath of fresh air in comparison to it’s Atlanta predecessor and hopefully it will give the ladies the platform they need to share their talents.

    In case you missed it, watch episode #1 of R&B Divas L.A. below and feel free to share your thoughts… Continue Reading…

    Chante Moore Lil Mo Claudette Ortiz Michelle Kelly Price Dawn Robinson
    The stars of ‘R&B Divas LA’ attended the Hollywood premiere event for the new TVOne reality show this past Monday (July 9, 2013).

    Lil? Mo, Dawn Robinson, Michel?le, Chante Moore, Claudette Ortiz and Kelly Price all attended the event, held at The London in West Hollywood, California.

    ?R&B Divas LA? is a spin-off of ?R&B Divas,? which was originally set in Atlanta and featuring Faith Evans, KeKe Wyatt, Nickey Gilbert, Monifah Carter and Syleena Johnson.

    While I couldn’t force myself to watch the Atlanta version of the show, the L.A. version has definitely caught my attention.

    I honestly think it’s because the L.A. cast features a selection of ALL of my favorites and each and every L.A. cast member has music that I remember (but that’s just me).

    Meet the cast of R&B Diva’s L.A. (video) + photos from their hollywood premiere party below… 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?
