    RECAP: Love & Hip Hop Atlanta S2 Ep 12 aka “The Kirk & Rasheeda Show”…

    Jul, 9 2013 | Written by ATLien

    Rasheeda Kirk LHHATL SFTA 2

    Love and Hip Hop Atlanta continues the drama/running joke of Rasheeda and Kirk’s marital woes.

    The couple goes all the way left in episode 12 as Sheeda gives Kirk “permission” to “Turn Up” and turn out!

    [READ: Kirk and Rasheeda Separated? Don’t Believe The Hype… ]

    What’s even more outrageous than Kirk & Rasheeda pimping their marriage out for a ‘reality’ show check is the fact that the “tangled” web they weave is actually not that tangled at all.

    [PHOTOS: Kirk & Rasheeda Spotted Together At 2013 BET Awards…]

    We’ve got Rasheeda who is friends with Toya, who is married to Memphitz, who is the creator of “Mistresses of Atlanta”, which is the reality show that Kirk’s “Mistress” (Mary Jane) is being featured on.

    Follow me? Please try to keep up… cause I’m not finished.

    Mona Scott Young (creator of LHHATL) recently enlisted popular rapstress Nicki Minaj to hawk her new liquor venture (click HERE if you missed that). ?How coincidental is it that Nicki strategically criticized Kirk publicly, sparking a huge media blitz about the couple’s “marital issues”?

    My Thoughts On ‘The Gossip Game’ + Watch Full Premiere Episode…

    Apr, 2 2013 | Written by ATLien

    gossip-game-cast-615-1363641862
    I had no idea “The Gossip Game,” VH1’s newest reality show, was premiering last night until I saw the tweets filling up my timeline.

    Then the phone calls started. A few of my blogger friends were like ‘wassup with this? so now we’re considered the BOTTOM of the media food chain?’

    [READ: Reality Show Alert! Meet the cast of ‘The Gossip Game” + Extended Trailer Video]

    I had to think for a minute…. hmmm, maybe that’s a good thing. Maybe that’s how whoever created the show *cough* Mona Scott Young, thinks of bloggers, who, like myself, are opinionated, resourceful, and aren’t star struck when people like *cough* Mona call us on the phone to fuss about leaking story lines.

    But I digress.

    Shoot… I can’t speak for all blawgs, but I BREAK stories over here and have great relationships with many “mainstream” journalists at CNN, AJC, etc. who come to ME for the scoop.? I’ve done radio a few times, but it’s mostly local television news anchors who benefit from my stories and opposing views. But again… that’s just me.

    I say all of that to say… in the first episode, “The Gossip Game” portrays bloggers as “ratchet,” “broke” and “messy” and while I may be one of the three on any given day of the week, all at one time is a bit much.

    Then again… it’s all entertainment though… right? 😆

        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?

She said “one closing down, more to come” — so is this a boss move or a sign she’s liquidating assets after that prenup drama?
