  • Keyshia Cole & Frankie Cover Vibe + The Skinny on Neffie

    Feb, 3 2009 | Written by ATLien

    Keyshia Cole and her mom Frankie cover the March 2009 issue of Vibe.? The magazine initially released this solo shot of Keyshia as the selected cover for the artist’s 3rd feature, but has since decided to print duel covers for this issue.? Personally, I like the mom/daughter shots best anyway…but who am I? Both covers will be on newsstands February 17.

    In the issue, Keyshia says that flossing cash is not her thing, ?I got money now. I don?t have to prove to anybody that I have money by wearing a handbag.? Her biological mom Frankie doesn’t go outta her way to spend big neither, saying, ?I love Payless, the ghetto mall, and the flea market. Payless got the same thing as Louis Vuitton, except Louis Vuitton is a bigger name??

    In case you’re wondering what Keyshia’s newly engaged sister, Neffie has been up to, well she’s also been making waves on the net this week with a new sleek & slimmer look:

    Neffie, pictured below with her stylist Dariel, was recently spotted in Virginia being honored an event held by the Inspiring Women Foundation. The organization honored Neffie for being an inspiration to women across the world. She and Frankie are also rumored to be working on their spin-off reality series which will exclude Keyshia and feature Dariel as Neffie’s BFF/Gay Hubby.? I hope Bravo gets the message and scoops up NeNe and Dwayne next…

    Kanye Covers Vibe + Declares Nudity Is Next

    Jan, 12 2009 | Written by ATLien

    Kanye West covers Vibe Magazine’s February 2009 issue looking…well…let’s just say he was looking. Yeezy, who needs to take Tyra’s advice and “smile with his eyes” looked about as depressed as his music is sounding these days. The rapper is not happy about the pic, stating in his blog that, “I DON’T HAVE GREY IN MY BEARD IN REAL LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’M ALL DOWN WITH BEINGS IN MY 30’S BUT DAAAAAAAAMN!!!! THIS IS SOME BENJAMIN BUTTON’S SHIT!”

    I didn’t even peep the gray til he pointed it out…but Whatev! Kanye’s obviously embracing his 30’s. Not only is he the new poster child for Just for Men hair color, he’s also proclaimed that his next act of maturity will be to pose nude one day:

    “I made a decision. I wanna make popular music, but I want less fans,” he told writer Sean Fennessey when asked if he was comfortable with fame. “I want the freedom of having less fans. It’s like the freedom of having less money. If you have less money, you have less responsibility. It’s like Bj?rk. If she wanted to pose naked, you’d be like, ‘Oh, that’s Bj?rk.’ But if I wanted to pose naked, people would draw all type of things into it. I definitely feel like, in the next however many years, if I work out for two months, that I’ll pose naked. I break every rule and mentality of hip-hop, of black culture, of American culture.” (Source)

    *sigh*…in my best Antwan “Big Boi” Patton dialect… “Boi Stop!”

    Keyshia Cole Covers Jet + Shouts to Jeezy

    Jan, 5 2009 | Written by ATLien

    Keyshia Cole covers Jet Magazine’s January 12th 2009 issue. Am I the only one who doesn’t recognize Keyshia in this photo? It’s lovely and all but where’s Keyshia?? 😕 BTW…I’m still laughing at this visual of Keyshia and Young Jeezy partying on two different sides of the same club on Christmas Day.? My homie NecoleBitchie is speculating that KeyCo may be on the hunt to get her man back, as she shouted out subliminals to Jeezy at her platinum party at the Velvet Room last week:


    I?m just doing my thing out here. Keeping that money popping so that I can handle my business the way it should be handled?without a MAN. I?ve been single for like a year now but it?s all good regardless. Shout out to Young Jeezy! I mean I haven?t talked to him in about a year but shout out to Young Jeezy because that?s my dawg!

    Go for it Keyshia! I’m rooting for LOVE. Even made you a new years slogan, “Jeezy’s MINE in 2009!” Playa Cards Right Keyshia…go get your man!

    T.I. Covers Rap Up Magazine’s 2008/2009 Winter Issue

    Dec, 19 2008 | Written by ATLien

    ?T.I. co-covers the Winter 2008/2009 isssue of Rap Up Magazine. He co-covers the issue with Christina Milian and addresses winning awards and how his kids are going to handle his upcoming prison sentence:

    On winning awards:
    ?No disrespect to Kanye, but that kinda stuff just don?t mean nothing to me. Whether or not I win an award, I mean that?s nice, but at the end of the day I understand that I?m a man. What being a man means to me is not defined by an award or an amount of records sold.?

    On how his children are going to deal with his time in prison:

    ?My oldest is 12?she understands. She?s strong and smart. The three weeks I was in, before I got to come home, she said to me, ?Don?t worry. I?ll hold things down ?til you get back.? I?m more worried about how my boys are going to deal.?

    Ciara Covers Right On + Shares Election Night Tales

    Nov, 6 2008 | Written by ATLien

    Photo via?DBlanks

    Ciara covers the December 2008 issue of Right-On magazine with somewhat of a different look. She is really going all out with her “Go Girl” glamour image. ?Love it! ?Especially the throwback?POW! doorknocker?earrings created by?Melody Ehsani.?The photo was captured by Atlanta celebrity photographer Derek Blanks.

    Ciara also took a moment yesterday to share her election night memories of Barack Obama’s historic win:

    The 23-year-old spent election night going back and forth from inside an Atlanta rehearsal studio to the hallway to check the results. ?Finally, when rehearsals were over I just sat in the lobby area where the TVs are and watched the speeches. Just took it all in.

    ?I?ve just been feeling this sense of pride, like for days now,? she said. ?Not just because of the history of the first black president ? but because I just believe he will be a great president. Black people didn?t just vote for him, all ethnicities did. And I think that?s because Barack Obama sees us all as one. All Americans.

    ?I didn?t cry last night when I was watching his speech, but when I was driving here to rehearsal today, they were playing it on the radio with [contemporary gospel singer] Marvin Sapp?s ?Never Would Have Made It? underneath, and I just started boo-hooing.? (source)

        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?
