  • Family Affair ~ Old School R&B Star Appears in Court + Police Seek Fellow Group Members

    Former Soul for Real group member Brian Dalyrimple has been apprehended and appeared in court yesterday in Gwinnett County to face charges of identity theft and fraud. Since this is his first court appearance, it was the first time the evidence against him had been discussed. Dalyrimple was linked to an apartment that was filled with other people’s documents and Gwinnett officials stated that his bedroom was littered with the paperwork, credit cards and driver’s licenses of various identities.

    The judge in the case issued two key rulings: 1) that Brian Dalyrimple would remain in jail without bond and 2) that the case had enough evidence to move forward.

    Dalyrimple was arrested last week in North Carolina and was found hiding in a friend’s closet. He had fled Georgia weeks earlier with his 10 month old son and was arrested without incident. In court, Dalyrimple claimed that he is actually the victim of identity theft and said he never tried to flee from police. Brian also begged the judge to allow him out on bond stating “I’m a professional entertainer recognized internationally…” and said he needs his freedom in order to perform to make cash. The judge saw right through that and promptly refused his request.

    The investigation against Dalyrimple is ongoing and there may be way more charges brought against him. Brian’s girlfriend/baby mama, Labora Crawford is also in custody and faces similar charges, while a grandmother is taking care of their 10 month old son. To make matters worse, Brian also has pending identity theft cases in Fulton and Clayton counties and two other members of the group, his brothers Jason and Andre Dalyrimple are also being sought to face further charges in the case.

    Really Now? ~ High Rise Reality Show in the “A”

    Mar, 26 2009 | Written by ATLien

    Click photo to view trailer

    In the last three weeks, I?ve had just as many people tell me that the world is sleeping on the reality show that (was and) is Atlanta. All of them maintained that BET?s Baldwin Hills was nothing but The SWATS ? in the ?80?s. Harlem Heights? That?s Atlanta in the early 90?s when the music first blew up. In the new millennium, Comcast seems to have finally caught up and is gifting our dear city with an entire ?reality? network.

    Comcast likes Atlanta to the point that it?s started an entire on-demand network focused on the city and the people in it.

    Real City TV/Atlanta, which starts next week is the first time the cable provider has built an entire lineup of reality programming ? 25 shows ? around a major city. Should the network prove successful, Comcast has plans to create other ones in other cities, said Larry Schweber, a Comcast spokesman. (Source)

    Sombodies actress, TP alum and SFTA darlin? Kaira Akita is a featured cast member of the flagship show Terminus set in the Buckhead condo of the same name.

    I?m kinda wondering, though, how you have a ?reality? show in Atlanta with over a dozen cast members and only 3 of them are African-American? I?ve got a treatment to pitch ? “SFTA: Black Blogality, Real Reality”. Thank they ready to get that real? Naw shawty, naw.

    Newsflash ~ Sheree Whitfield Can’t Afford a Lawyer

    Mar, 6 2009 | Written by ATLien

    I interrupt Flashback Friday to bring you this important update about my 2nd favorite Atlanta ‘Housewife’ without a husband Sheree Whitfield.? It’s being reported this morning that since dismissing her divorce appeal seeking more money from her ex-hubby, former Falcons player Bob Whitfiled, Sheree has failed to pay her attorneys almost $90,000.

    The complaint, dated Feb. 2, 2009 and filed at the Superior Court of Fulton County, states that Sheree Whitfield owed $69,343.98 in principal going back to May 10, 2006. Interest on the unpaid amount, based on a monthly interest rate of 1.5%, is $17,832.93 through January 31, 2009, according to the filing.

    “Plaintiff has contacted Defendant in an effort to collect said debt. Defendent?s refusal to pay said debt as agreed constitutes an act of bad faith and has caused the Plaintiff unnecessary trouble and expense, thereby entitling Plaintff to an award of its expenses of litigation, including reasonable attorney?s fees in an amount to be proven by the evidence at trial.”

    Steven Montalto, the attorney representing Levine & Smith, said as of March 5, 2009, the firm has been unable to track Sheree Whitfield down to service a summons and a copy of the complaint. (Source)

    Chris Brown ~ Not One…but TWO Felony Charges

    Mar, 5 2009 | Written by ATLien

    Via LoveBScott

    Breaking News: The L.A. County District Attorney has just charged Chris Brown with felony assault and making criminal threats, also a felony. The charging documents name Robyn F. (aka Rihanna) as the alleged victim. Brown will be arraigned today at 3:30 PM in downtown LA. Chris Brown could face a maximum of four years and eight months in prison. [Source]

    More Details Emerge: FOX 11 in L.A. obtained LAPD detectives notes from a search warrant in the case. As per the notes, Rihanna read a three-page text message on Brown?s Phone from a woman. An argument ensued and Brown allegedly tried forcing Rihanna out of the car but couldn?t because she was wearing her seat belt.

    Brown then allegedly shoved Rihanna?s head against the passenger window. When Rihanna turned to face him, Brown punched her, then continued punching her while driving, according to the detective?s notes.

    Blood spattered all over Rihanna?s clothing and in the interior of the car. Her mouth was filled with blood. Brown allegedly told Rihanna, ?I?m going to beat the **** out of you when we get home. You wait and see.?

    Rihanna called her assistant and left a message saying, ?I am on my way home. Make sure the cops are there when I get there.? Brown then replied, ?You just did the stupidest thing ever. I?m going to kill you.? According to the report, Brown continued to punch Rihanna, bit her on her ear, her fingers and put her in a headlock ? she almost lost consciousness. [Source]

    Mugshot Mania ~ A McNuggets ‘Emergency’

    Mar, 4 2009 | Written by ATLien

    Angered that her local McDonald’s was out of Chicken McNuggets, a Florida woman called 911 three times to report the fast food “emergency.” Latreasa Goodman, 27, last Saturday called police to complain that a cashier–citing a McDonald’s all sales are final policy–would not give her a refund.

    Listen to Goodman’s 911 call below:

    Call #1

    Call #2

    Call #3

    When cops responded to the restaurant, Goodman told them, “This is an emergency. If I would have known they didn’t have McNuggets, I wouldn’t have given my money, and now she wants to give me a McDouble, but I don’t want one.” Goodman noted, “I called 911 because I couldn’t get a refund, and I wanted my McNuggets,” according to the below Fort Pierce Police Department report.

    That logic, however, did not keep cops from citing Goodman for misusing the 911 system. Even after being issued a misdemeanor citation, Goodman contended, “this is an emergency, my McNuggets are an emergency.” The McDonald’s devotee is seen above in a mug shot snapped after a previous encounter with police. (Via The SmokingGun)

    And the moral of this story is…Although proper 911 etiquette is a must, Mickie D’s should never run out of McNuggets. The End.

    Lil Wayne’s Atlanta Drug Charges Dropped + Prom Queen Video

    Mar, 4 2009 | Written by ATLien

    Photo via AJC

    Lil Wayne is all smiles for a reason. A big one! A huge weight has been lifted off his shoulders since a Fulton County judge just dismissed the felony drug charges that were brought against him in the ‘A’. If you recall, Wayne was arrested in August 2006 at the Twelve Hotel at Atlantic Station after Atlanta police said they found unmarked bottles containing hydrocodone and a generic form of Xanax along with two marijuana joints.

    The State’s prosecutors must have really effed this one up because we all know the real deal. Hell…Wayne even wrote a song about what’s in his styrofoam cup. *smh*

    ?The testimony by the State?s witnesses had numerous inconsistencies in material evidence provided at this hearing, especially when compared to the written police reports that had been created ? by two of the three officers who entered the hotel rooms at the Twelve Hotel,? Johnson wrote in a document filed Tuesday.

    Carter?s attorney, William ?Bubba? Head, said his client wasn?t staying in the room where the arrest was made.

    ?It was a changing room,? he said.

    The Georgia case had its share of twists and turns. Carter was arrested on a fugitive warrant in October 2007 for failing to appear at a court date in Fulton County. But Head said his client never received the summons because it was sent to his former home in New Orleans, which had been destroyed by Hurricane Katrina.

    ?He didn?t even know there were charges pending,? his Atlanta-based attorney said.

    Fulton County prosecutors could not be reached for comment. (Source)

    I just bet they couldn’t be reached. They’re probably too dayum embarrassed! 😕 Lil Wayne is not all the way out of the clear though. He still has a few other states where his legal troubles haven’t just disappeared into thin air. Wayne has an upcoming court date on a weapons charge in New York and also still has to answer to multiple felony drug charges in Arizona where he and four others were arrested by Border Patrol agents who stopped his tour bus near Yuma. Police canines reportedly recovered 3.7 ounces of marijuana, 29 grams of cocaine and 41 grams of ecstasy on the bus.

    I’m sure Lil Wayne will continue to rock on. Eff what ya heard! Peep his new video for “Prom Queen” below:

        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?
