When asked if there was any truth to rampant rumors about Chlli sleeping with her husband at the time, record executive L.A. Reid, Pebbles responded: ‘Absolutely!’

    Reigndrop, the younger sister of Lisa ‘Left Eye’ Lopes, is speaking out about the drama surrounding TLC’s recent VH1 biopic which aired earlier this week.

    [RECAP: ‘CrazySexyCool: The TLC Story’ Fact? Fiction? Or Shades of Gray? (WATCH FULL VIDEO)]

    It?s no secret Left Eye?s lil sister isn?t too fond of Chilli, T-Boz, or VH1 as a whole right now and as the unofficial spokesperson of the Lopes family, she’s been rather vocal about their exclusion from the development of the film.left eye

    [READ: In Remembrance of Left Eye – Photos + Watch ‘The Last Days’ Documentary (VIDEO)]

    Reigndrop recently spoke with MadamNoire about the situation:

    Reigndrop definitely feels some type of way about the fact that Lisa?s family was the only family not shown in the biopic and she said some of the creative liberties the producers took with Lisa?s story line ? like why she put tape over her mouth in the ?Creep? video were just plain inaccurate.

    When it comes to logistics, Reigndrop said she wasn?t even allowed to walk the red carpet at the movie premiere in New York or invited on set to watch the taping of the film in Atlanta.

    [READ: TLC B.C. (Before Chilli) – What CrazySexyCool Biopic Left Out + Original Member Crystal Speaks! (PHOTOS + VIDEO)]

    For the record, Reigndrop feels the same as the general public about Lil Mama’s portrayal of her sister and shouts her out for doing a great job in the film but she also feels that her family should have been treated a bit better in the situation.

        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?
