    Is Real Housewives’ “Big Poppa” Broke?

    Oct, 28 2010 | Written by ATLien

    Developer Lee Najjar, better known as Kim Zolciak’s sugar daddy on “The Real Housewives of Atlanta,” my be facing a big of financial difficulties.

    WSB-TV is reporting that he’s behind on his light bill and owes more than a quarter of a million dollars in back taxes.

    Najjar aka “Big Poppa” on the Bravo reality show, is the owner of Union City’s Union Station Mall (located on the southside of Atlanta). Georgia Power has even threatened shopkeepers of pending disconnections due to nonpayment.

    Union Station Mall owner Lee Najjar is hardly living up to his reputation as a famed sugar daddy. Najjar, or ?Big Poppa,? as he is called on reality show The Real Housewives of Atlanta hasn?t paid the light bill in months, according to city documents.

    Mall shopkeepers have already received warnings from Georgia Power informing them that they may have to disconnect the power due to nonpayment.

    The power shut off has been delayed, but the power bill isn’t Najjar’s only money problem. City officials said his company is three years behind on property taxes. ?They owe us about $290,000 as of today,? says city manager Steve Rapson. (Source)

    Meanwhile, the Union City officials are attempting to reassure mall tenants they are sympathetic to their plight. Merchants told Channel 2 that mall security has changed the locks on several stores.

    Big Poppa has yet to respond.

    In related news… Kim Zolciak is rumored to be pregnant by Falcon’s footballer Kroy Biermann but apparently that was started by her bitter ex-lesbian lover DJ Tracy. Kim hit the tweets earlier pissed off at her former gal pal:

    A Look Inside Kim Zolciak’s Crib… *PHOTOS*

    Jan, 5 2010 | Written by ATLien

    Real Housewives of Atlanta cast member Kim Zolciak recently allowed the AJC a private tour of her duluth townhouse. There was no sign of Lee “Big Papa” Najjar, cause conventional wisdom would lead us all to the assumption that he was “home” for the holidays.

    Kim admits being a bit lonely as a jumpoff stating that the only thing missing from her three-level townhouse is… “A man! A man, that’s the only thing we’re missing. And I’m not really so sure I want that either. I’m pretty happy.? This is a pretty cool place; I’m missing a really big closet though.”

    “This neighborhood works out great,” shares Zolciak. “I’ve lived here a couple years; the community is great, like I said, my neighbor Damien, he plays for the NBA so he’s in and out quite a bit, he’s pretty fantastic. It’s somewhat kid-friendly, it is gated, and it’s roomy, it’s spacious.”

    And security cameras at her front door assure no one gets up-close unannounced.

    Check out extensive photos of Kim’s crib below: Continue Reading…

    Big Poppa’s Crib…

    Aug, 7 2009 | Written by ATLien

    main-6

    The Real Housewives of Atlanta (Season Two) is on an poppin and people are still wondering who Kim Zolciak’s Big Papa’s is. Well I tried to tell you a while back but in case you couldn’t read between the lines, Big Poppa is believed to be none other than Georgia real estate investor Lee Najjar.? Big Poppa came to his senses and kicked Kim Zolciak to the curb so now she’s single and fancy free while he’s home doing family stuff with the wife and kids.? It’s kinda sad though…especially since Kim is stuck with his name tatted on her ring finger.

    Recently MTV’s Teen cribs featured Najjar’s expansive palatial estate with his two youngest children, Jamen (15) and Katelin (18), providing the tour of the insanely posh home.“Big Papa” himself and wife Kimberly even made brief appearances throughout the episode.

    According to HomesOfTheRich the 16,000 + square feet home is located on W Paces Ferry Road NW in Atlanta, GA and has a massive foyer with grand sweeping staircase (Katelin says she will walk down these steps the day she gets married), a huge ballroom, a gourmet kitchen with adjoining breakfast room, numerous bedrooms suites, a recording studio, an amazing home theater with a wrought iron door, a swimming pool, a tanning bed room, a game room with ping pong table, a gentleman’s club with special filtration for smoke, a beauty and nail salon, a massage room, a moroccan room complete with a hooka pipe, a massive pool House, a basketball court, and an outdoor hibachi grill. The family cars include several Rolls Royce, Mercedes and Range Rover. (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. 👽🛸

        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?
