  • Tameka Raymond Calls Usher ‘Control Freak’ On Nightline… [FULL VIDEO]

    Aug, 15 2013 | Written by ATLien

    Tameka Raymond 1
    Tameka Foster Raymond has officially broken her silence about the custody battle with her superstar ex-husband Usher Raymond.

    For the record, the couple’s two children Naviyd (4) and Usher V “Cinco” (5) are now finally home with their mom, the first time since Cinco almost drowned at his father’s Atlanta home. She joyfully shared photos of lil Cinco as he showed off his cast free arm.Cinco at Home 081413

    Tameka has been speaking to mainstream media about the situation, starting first with ABC’s Good Morning America yesterday morning (click HERE if you missed that).

    Later in the evening, the network ran the interview in it’s entirety on Nightline and Raymond revealed more about the psychiatric examinations that she and Usher BOTH were subjected to, stating:

    The psych evaluation was something that his side ordered and said that we both had to take it. When it was time to read the results of the psych evaluation.

    His attorneys moved to have the cameras out. His attorneys moved to have the records sealed and narcissistic personality traits. That’s what actually the diagnosis was… we all have a little narcissistic personality disorder especially those of us in the limelight but I don’t think it’s something that affects your parenting. That’s my issue.

     

    Hmmm…. I tried to tell y’all but anywhoo. Watch the full interview below… Continue Reading…

    WTF?!? Dekalb Sherriffs ‘Caught On Tape’- Accused Of Serving Warrant w/ ‘Excessive Force’ [VIDEO]

    Aug, 13 2013 | Written by ATLien

    Police_officer_in_riot_gear

    Dekalb residents fast asleep in July were on the receiving end of police brutality, so says Donovan Hall and his younger brother.

    Video obtained by Ellenwood, GA residents, and released to the media this week shows eight deputies using excessive force trying to serve a civil warrant. But the deputies never announced who, or what they were looking for.

    The officers failure to disclose the nature of the home visit left the Hall family to assume they were at the wrong address. But it was no mistake. It seems all eight DeKalb deputies were at the Hall home to serve a civil warrant.

    The family relived the disturbing incident in a recent interview, revealing they also caught it on tape when one of the family members documented the entire incident by pressing record on his phone.

    (Smart move!)

    Judge Denies Usher Raymond’s Ex-Wife’s Temporary Custody Request… [Watch FULL VIDEO of Emergency Hearing]

    Aug, 9 2013 | Written by ATLien

    Usher Tameka Raymond Child Custody 080913 SFTA-20

    A Fulton County Superior Court Judge denied Usher Raymond‘s ex-wife’s emergency request for custody Friday afternoon (August 9, 2013).

    [READ: Raymond vs. Raymond: Couple Returns to Court for Emergency Hearing…]

    Tameka’s attorneys filed for the emergency hearing on Tuesday after one of her sons, Usher Raymond V (aka ‘Cinco’) nearly drowned at her Usher’s home on Monday afternoon.Usher Tameka Raymond Child Custody 080913 SFTA-17

    Several disturbing factors were brought up during the hearing and while I won’t address each and every one of them, I’ll drop a few in this post.

    First and foremost, Usher wasn’t at home at the time of the accident and had left the boys in the care of his Aunt Rena, who admitted having a disability stemming from a back injury suffered during a 2007 automobile accident. It was revealed that Baby Usher was stuck under water for almost 4 minutes while Usher’s aunt ran downstairs for help and that 4 year-old Naviyd jumped into the pool unattended to try to save his big brother.

    Tameka Raymond broke down on the stand speaking about her concerns for the safety of her children. In tears, after revisiting the frantic 911 call made by Usher’s aunt, Tameka (visibly upset) yelled that it was “total chaos” in her ex-husband’s home during the period her 5 year old son was stuck under water.

    One of Tameka’s attorney’s said it best, ‘Lightning doesn’t strike twice and it almost did when Tameka nearly lost a SECOND son to an aquatic accident” while in the care of her ex-husband.

    The judge in the case apparently didn’t feel the same…

        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?
