    Looks Like Lil Wayne Has a New Boo… [PHOTOS]

    May, 26 2011 | Written by ATLien

    Lil Wayne was spotted getting cozy with a woman described as “mystery lady” recently in Miami.

    The fertile rapper hit the beach with his latino lady love by his side. They strolled along South Beach taking in the sunshine and enjoying each other’s company… with bodyguards in tow.

    Love is in the air…

    The new lovebirds also kicked it courtside at the Miami Heat vs. Chicago Bulls playoff game with Drake tagging along as a third wheel…

    The High Price of Kanye West…

    May, 10 2011 | Written by ATLien

    If you’re planning on booking Kanye West for your bar mitzvah… think again!

    According to the NYPost, former NBC exec Jeff Zucker threw a lavish bar mitzvah at the Four Seasons the other night for his son Andrew, and went all out with no expense spared.

    Kanye West was the first choice to preform for the pre-teens but was replaced by Drake after his staggering rate knocked him completely off the list.

    The bash, costing well over an estimated $250,000, included a performance by rapper Drake, “tremendous” food and fine wines — and customized Converse sneakers handed out as gifts to guests.

    “They went all out for this bash,” a source told Page Six of the splashy shindig at the restaurant, which is a haunt of the city’s power crowd.

    Sources said the Zucker family at first wanted West to perform at the party — but the hotheaded rapper demanded $1 million for the gig.

    Our sources said organizers balked at West’s price and briefly considered offering him $800,000, but instead went with the more reasonably priced Drake.

    I’m almost positive that Kanye eats money for breakfast so why should we be surprised that he’s demanding a milli?

    [Sidebar: I had to *giggle* at “reasonably priced” Drake! They make po Drake sound like a bargain basement shoe sale… 😆 ]

    Drake Hosts 1st Award Show but Leaves Empty Handed + What?s the Verdict on His New Look?

    Mar, 29 2011 | Written by ATLien

    Aubrey “Drake” Graham hit up the red carpet of the 2011 Juno Awards in his hometown of Toronto, Canada with his lovely mom on his arm.

    Drizzy Drake made his hosting debut at the awards show Sunday evening (March 27), but it wasn’t as big a night for the rapper as it could have been.

    The hometown hero was nominated for six awards during Canadian music’s biggest night and ultimately went home without zero… zip… nada!? Not a single one.

    The Thank Me Later star was the most nominated artist at the event, earning nods in both the Rap Recording of the Year and Artist of the Year categories. but the closest he would come to an award, was when he looked on as Justin Bieber received his.

    “I hear those are actually heavy when you get to hold one in person,” joked Drake during the show.

    Po Drake… but besides all that, am I the only one that’s noticed Drake’s “new & improved” image?? He’s gone from wrinkled plaid shirts & old navy cargo pants to designer suits.

    Drake seems to be gettin’ his “grown man” on and I’m personally lovin’ the beard!!

    What do you think of Drake’s new swag?

    Men in Animal Prints: Fashion Do… or Don’t?

    Mar, 22 2011 | Written by ATLien

    I guess there’s a new fashion trend emerging. Men in animal prints.

    Kanye was spotted rocking a Givenchy leopard bomber jacket about a week ago at Paris fashion week, while Drake rocked black & white zebra print at an event here in the states.

    [Sidebar: I just added RHOA’s Miss Lawrence’s photo? above for effect…]

    I think Drake’s new rough & rugged beard makes him look sexxxxxy but that jacket… er, ummmm… I can’t get with it!

    What do you guys think? What’s the verdict on men in animal prints?

    Are ‘men in prints’ a Fashion DO or Fashion DON’T???

    Rihanna Bares All on Grammy Red Carpet & Gets “Hot & Heavy” with Drake Onstage… [PHOTOS/VIDEO]

    Feb, 14 2011 | Written by ATLien

    Rihanna through her modesty to the wind last night as she rocked the red carpet of the 2011 Grammy Awards wearing an amazing white layered, barely-there dress by Jean Paul Gaultier.

    Rih-Rih’s dress even stunned Ryan Seacrest so much that he had to stall others on the red carpet.

    Rihanna had several wardrobe changes throughout the evening’s event, gracing the Grammy stage not once.. but twice!

    She performed ?Love the Way You Lie? with Eminem and later in the broadcast hit the stage to spark a fire with her former jumpoff flame, Drake for ?What?s My Name,? where she gave him a standing “lap dance”…

    More photos PLUS video of Rihanna’s performances (“Love the Way You Lie” with Eminem & “What’s My Name” with Drake) 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?
