  • What’s Beef? Monica Explains Why She & Ciara Are No Longer Close Friends..

    Aug, 24 2015 | Written by ATLien

    ciara monica versace

    Singers Monica Brown and Ciara once had a friendship that lasted over a decade but it seems that the two had a fast fall out shortly after Ciara’s break up with Atlanta-based rapper Future.

    The fall-out became evident late last September when Ciara hit the tweets with a few subliminals aimed at her former friend.

    ciara tweet

    Word on the curb was that Ciara caught wind that Mo was friends with Future’s  baby mama (the one he cheated on CiCi with), but Monica says that’s not the case AT ALL.

    They say I was friends with somebody he was cheating with, none of that stuff is true. I AM friends with one of the mothers of one of Future?s children, but it?s the mom that you never see, you never hear, that Ciara also has a good relationship with.

    So a lot of the stuff you read is very untrue. Nothing that happened with us had anything to do with him.

    Yuup… looks like the gang’s all there!!

    Rapper Meek Mill hit the club alongside his boo Nicki Minaj to play host to the Official Pink Print Tour Atlanta afterparty last night (August 3, 2015).

    Meek clearly ignored all the naysayers who are still laughing at his Drake Diss track, to enjoy another successful leg of his girl’s world tour (*Drake Voice).

    Monica Brown & Dallas Austin Celebrate 20th Anniversary of ‘Ms Thang’… [PHOTOS + VIDEO]

    Jul, 20 2015 | Written by ATLien

    Monica MsThang 20 Years SFTA 2015

    Monica Brown has always been one of my favorite Atlanta artists and just a few days ago, she celebrated the 20th anniversary of her first album, Ms. Thang!


    Producer Dallas Austin, who is hailed as the driving force behind TLC’s rise to stardom, saw Monica do a rendition of Whitney Houston?s ?Greatest Love of All? and was so impressed that he took her under his wing and signed her to his Arista Records-distributed label, Rowdy Records.

    It was on July 18, 1995, that Monica?s debut album hit shelves to much fanfare and acclaim for her strong vocals and feisty swagger. Ms. Thang peaked at No. 7 on?Billboard?s Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart and produced multiple hit singles, like ?Don?t Take It Personal (Just One of Dem Days),? and the double A-Side single, ?Before You Walk Out of My Life? and ?Why I Love You So Much.? Both singles peaked at No. 1 on the?Billboard?Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, making Monica the youngest artist in history ? she was 14 at the time ? with consecutive No. 1 songs.

    Both Dallas and Monica hit the net recently to reminisce about the album that started it all for the talented songstress.

    Monica was visiting New Orleans, Louisiana last Sunday (March 8, 2015) and payed a visit to ‘Mama Mia’s,’ the restaurant owned by her good friend, rapper Mia X.

        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?

She said “one closing down, more to come” — so is this a boss move or a sign she’s liquidating assets after that prenup drama?
