  • Alfamega’s “Open Letter” To T.I. ~ “I’m Giving You A Week to Call Me”

    Jul, 23 2009 | Written by ATLien

    5mie69

    Alfamega has issued an OPEN LETTER to T.I. regarding all the drama behind his being let go from Grand Hustle. In it, Alfa addresses all the times he’s had Tip’s back and his disappointment in how everything went down.? Alfa was once coined “Grand Hustle Muscle” for his obvious devotion to T.I. and his well-being, and spills the beans about all of the altercations he played the strong arm.? I actually took a moment to read the letter last night and feel that he’s being genuine and sincere in expressing his disappointment and also in his revelations regarding incidents concerning his family, specifically his 15 year old daughter who Alfa says was confronted at the skating rink by some of Tip’s cohorts.

    We all know that Tip is in jail and can’t really fight this battle right now, but Alfa is requesting at least a phone call from his former boss so that they can squash all the drama that’s going on in the streets:

    Once this is published, I?m giving you a week to call me. Should you choose to not call me within that timeframe, I?ll know exactly where we stand. At that point, we?ll separate and we can get it off like Muhammad Ali v/s George Foreman in The Rumble in the Jungle. It will be what it is, you on your side of the ring and me on mine. Instead of a boxing ring, it?ll be the studios and instead of boxing gloves, it?ll be me lyrically pounding you.

    I dunno what can come of this. I’m hoping for the best cause I know it’s real in the field and I don’t want to see these two Black men battle. Hopefully they can find some common ground and move forward peacefully.? Read Alfamega’s full 2 page letter to T.I. below:

Recently, I was awakened my a slew of phone calls after AOL Black Voices columnist, Jawn Murray mentioned the emailed threats I’ve been receiving during his gossip segment on The Tom Joyner Morning Show.? I finally got a chance to listen to it online and almost fell out of my chair when I realized he said my REAL government name on air.? I ain’t mad though. Those of you who know me know I ain’t never hid my true identity.

    In case you missed it, check out what Jawn had to say about it below:

    Usher Sings About ‘Filing Papers’ ~ Tameka’s Ditching Twitter + Will Her Criminal Past Come Back To Haunt Her?

    Jul, 14 2009 | Written by ATLien

    usher-2

    I guess Usher really did plan for his upcoming release, “Monster” to be a strike back at his spouse. Word is…Sean Garrett penned a song for Usher that delves into his current divorce saga. Although the song was bounced around amongst producers way before news of their marital discourse hit the streets, it’s definitely a no-brainer as to what’s about to happen. The currently untitled song is being referred to as “Filing Papers” and it’s about a marriage coming to an end.? Song writing extraordinaire, Sean Garrett explains that he and Usher didn’t even speak about trouble in the singer’s marriage at the time, but he’s known for creating personalized songs for several artists. Sean’s intuition ain’t no joke! He says:

    Let’s say I wrote a record for Usher three or four months ago where I really didn’t have any idea of what he was going through personally. I work really hard at creating records I feel that’s gonna fit like a glove to an artist. Me and Usher have a close relationship; I tend to sort of assist certain artists in giving them a direction, where I think they need to go in their next move. I felt that was the direction we needed to go. I felt that was the question everyone wanted to know: Was [his relationship] good or was it bad? Was it right? Are you happy or you’re not?

    When asked how he felt when he learned about Usher’s divorce, Garrett said:

    “I’m a heavy believer in God. I’m a Pisces. My intuition is crazy. I think that’s healthy in the process for me writing and producing for people. I can feel a person’s vibe without them even saying it. I can read a person’s body language. Maybe it was a sign. Maybe it was a sign of what my man was going through and he needed to get out. Maybe it was something she needed to hear as a wake-up call to her. I don’t know ? their relationship is not my business. But once people hear this record, it’s gonna make their hair raise up.

    Producer Zaytoven speaks to MTV about Usher’s new song

    We all know Usher filed for divorce from Tameka Foster-Raymond last month and they are scheduled to begin proceedings tomorrow (July 15). Funny thing is, Tameka, who’s known to tweet her “A”zz off, has planned a Twitter “FAST” from (7/15- 8/15).? She is totally going to back away from the computer (finally). Seems innocent enough…right? but don’t make those assumptions so fast. Continue Reading…

    Spotted ~ Nivea’s Baby Bump

    Jul, 9 2009 | Written by ATLien

    Spotted @ KiddUNot

    KodakBoi spotted the Nivea (aka Lil Wayne Baby Mama #5 or is it #4? I’ve lost count) at an artist’s showcase Tuesday night in Atlanta. KodakBoi states that although Nivea isn’t about to pop she is definitely preggers. So add her to the list:

    Nivea, who had a hit back in 2002 with her song ‘Don’t Mess With My Man,’ held an event last night in Atlanta. Hosted by MumsFP, the R&B songstress took part in what she dubbed as the “BoomBoomRoom,” where local, unsigned artist showcase their talent.

    nivcrew

    You guys can lay the pregnancy rumors to rest–tho she’s not ready to pop, I definitely confirmed last night that singer Nivea is pregnant and well….


    If someone sends me a pic of Lauren and Nivea together with Lil Wayne in the middle, my life will be complete…

    UshMeka Divorce Update ~ He Says…. She Says…

    Jul, 2 2009 | Written by ATLien

    tamekauPhoto via WireImage

    Tameka Raymond should be breathing quite a bit easier these days since all of the Michael Jackson drama has taken a bit of the spotlight off of her and Usher’s pending divorce…but I’m still following when I can.? Recently, Tameka filed an answer to Usher’s divorce petition. In her response, Meka claimed that she was totally caught off guard by his filing of the divorce and was under the impression that things between them was just peachy. In court documents filed Monday in Fulton County Superior Court Meka claims that she “had every reason to believe her marriage was intact” and that two were “intimately together as husband and wife as recently as June 6.”

    In Usher’s petition, he requests joint custody of the pair’s two young sons, Usher Raymond V, 1, 1/2 and Naviyd Ely Raymond, 6 months. But regardless of custody requests, word on the street is that Usher’s questioning the paternity of his youngest son and seeks answers.? Continue Reading…

        For YEARS y’all invited us into everything — t For YEARS y’all invited us into everything — the love, the prenup, the babies, the fights, the businesses… all of it on reality TV.
But NOW that the divorce is in court, suddenly it’s “seal the documents & protect my privacy”? 🤔

Meanwhile Todd ain’t trying to seal a thing.
So what changed? And what doesn’t she want the public to see?
Let’s talk about it… 👀🍿

        They try to silence strong Black women for telling They try to silence strong Black women for telling the truth — but somehow misogyny gets rewarded with views, clicks, and applause.

What’s even more disturbing? So many women are cheering it on.
At some point, we have to ask: Why is disrespect toward Black women still profitable?

This isn’t entertainment.
This is accountability.

        This was not a “read.” This was an unprovoked, This was not a “read.” This was an unprovoked, problematic rant — and it needed to be called out. Junkie Dineva went after Tamar Braxton’s parents, upbringing, and mental health for no legitimate reason, and that kind of misogyny should never be excused as entertainment.

Going viral for disrespecting Black women is the real issue — and that’s what we’re unpacking on ATLien Live.

        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. 👽🛸

        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?
