  • Hot or Not? Atlanta Rapper ‘Young Thug’ Admits He Rocks Dresses… [PHOTOS]

    Mar, 27 2014 | Written by ATLien

    Not Young Thug (still funny tho)
    The photo above circulated online recently and many claim that it’s up and coming Atlanta rapper Young Thug.

    While many would assume the photo of what appears to be a young man in dreads wearing timbos and a leather mini skirt ensemble was photoshopped, the style is actually not much of a stretch for Young Thug.

    Young Thug (real name Jeffery Williams) is most notably known for his popular ‘Stoner’ song…

    …but he is also now known for wearing dresses.

    The rapper recently did an interview with Complex magazine where he explained the story behind a leopard printed frock he wore, revealing he got it from the junior’s department.

    Ciara shared the photo above of her huge baby bump via her instagram account yesterday (March 20, 2014).

    Twitter Beef! Marlon Wayans & Lord Jamar Battle Over Omar Epps’ Leather Skirt + Epps Explains His Fashion Choice… [PHOTOS + VIDEO]

    Mar, 11 2014 | Written by ATLien

    135094_0362

    Actor Omar Epps made quite a fashion statement recently when he hit the stage of ABC’s ‘The View’ rocking a leather skirt over his trousers.

    Conscientious rapper Lord Jamar (Brand Nubian) has been?very vocal about what he considers the ?feminization of the Black man? in hip-hop and ever since Kanye West rocked his leather kilt on the Watch The Throne tour and A$AP Rocky appeared on B.E.T. wearing a leather skirt, the hip-hop legend has been calling them out.

    [FLASHBACK: The ‘Mean Girls’ of Morehouse: Morehouse Men Redefined… (PHOTOS)]

    So when Lord Jamar spotted one of his favorite actors, Omar Epps, rocking a leather mini skirt on ?The View? the other day, he expressed his disappointment on Twitter, stating:

    Lord Jamar 1

    Comedian Marlon Wayans, a childhood friend of Epps, stepped in to defend his friend against the online criticism and a twitter beef ensued.

    What happened next was a timeline filled with insults followed by Omar Epps himself, posting a detailed explanation about his fashion statement.

    Usher Raymond Furry Hat StraightFromTheA 2014-11

    It seems Usher Raymond‘s furry ‘new look’ may have ruffled a few feathers!

    Usher 1You may have noticed that Usher has been sporting some furry new headgear recently that has created some stiff competition for Pharrell William’s grammy look.

    [FLASHBACK: Janet Jackson Disses PETA as ‘Legendary Face of Fur’ (PHOTOS)]

    The sexy crooner premiered his ‘Davy Crocket’ racoon type hat on the set of The Tonight Show studios in New York City, last Monday but just hours after his photograph hit the net, PETA pounced!

    [PHOTOS: Wendy Williams Gets ‘Naked’ for PETA… ]

    The animal rights organization issued a statement condemning Usher’s choice of head wear and referred to his furry new hat as ‘sad and sickening’.

    Who Rocked Tom Ford Best? Janet Jackson vs. Tameka Raymond… [PHOTOS]

    Jan, 31 2014 | Written by ATLien

    Janet Jackson Tameka Raymond Tom Ford StraightFromTheA
    I posted a few photos of Tameka Raymond yesterday and someone pointed out that the emerald green dress she was rocking looked vaguely familiar.

    [READ: It’s Official! Atlanta Exes Airs Summer 2014 – Meet the Cast (PHOTOS)]

    I did a little digging and it just so happens that the Emerald Green Applicqu? Lace Cocktail Dress Tameka is wearing was the same dress superstar Janet Jackson rocked on the November 2011 cover of Harper?s Bazaar Arabia, which came straight from the TOM FORD Fall/Winter 2011 womenswear collection.

    Both women look spectacular in green but umma give Janet my vote for actually being on a photo shoot (it appears Tameka is in a dressing room).

    Whatever the case, it’s the same dayum dress so let’s take a look at them both in it.

        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?
