  • Family Affair: T.I.’ s AKOO MOVEMENT Fashion Show ~ [PHOTOS + VIDEO]

    Feb, 3 2012 | Written by ATLien

    Clifford T.I. Harris celebrated the completion of the Fall/Winter line of AKOO with a? celebrity filled fashion show last night in Atlanta (February 2, 2012).

    Tip’s entire family was there to share in the celebration including his mom, Violeta Morgan (T.I.?s mom), wife Tameka “Tiny” Harris, and all of their kids.? Of course since everyone was in attendance, cameras were rolling for their VH1 reality show.

    I’m also wondering if Cynthia Bailey, who was also spotted at the show, will work this into her RHOA storyline somehow, being that I heard that a few of the models working for AKOO last night were from Cynthia’s The Bailey Agency.

    [Sidebar: There were some fine “A”zz male models onstage but one in particular looked like someone’s uncle and word on the curb is that he came from Bailey’s agency… can’t wait to see how VH1 plays it!]

    Tip and Tiny’s kids provided the entertainment. The OMG Girlz (which features Tiny’s daughter Zonnique) performed as well as Domani, who rapped about gettin’ to Da Money!

    Also spotted at the event were Keri Hilson (who surprised Tip’s son Messiah with a “Happy Birthday” solo), Polow Da Don, Future, YelaWolf, Tameka Raymond, super producer Bryan-Michael Cox, one of the Braxtons (I can never get them straight) and more.

    Ciara Rolls Over Hunger Literally as Atlanta Celebs Host Thanksgiving Skate Party… [PHOTOS]

    Nov, 24 2011 | Written by ATLien

    Ciara was the star of the skate party as she LITERALLY rolled into Atlanta?s historic Cascade Skating Rink in a wheelchair!

    I don’t know the deal about CiCi and roller rink wheelchair, but I noticed she was rocking an orthopedic boot on both feet, so maybe she decided to get both bunions removed at both times (y’all know those Loubous are hell on the feet!) *shrug*

    Just about every musical powerhouse in the city came through to taok a trip down memory lane, renting skates and hitting the rink on Thanksgiving Eve as DeVyne Intervention presented Roll Over Hunger: Celebrity & Charity Skate Jam.

    The Roll Over Hunger event allowed Atlanta?s A-list to join forces with the community and have some good old- fashioned holiday fun, all in the name of helping the less fortunate.

    Toya Wright and her hubby MempHitz brought out the entire fam! [Reginae was sporting all of the goodies she received from her birthday bash.]

    Under the leadership of music mogul DeVyne Stephens and his DeVyne Intervention Foundation, thousands of dollars were raised to help feed Atlanta?s homeless. Funds for the evening benefited the Hosea Feed the Hungry Foundation Holiday Dinner Program; an annual program providing four major meal service events that support Atlanta homeless by serving over 200,000 hot meals each year. Charity efforts were especially needed this year as the foundation has continued to lose donations due to a struggling economy.

    It was like a Bunche Middle School, Therrell/Doug/Mays High old school reunion as Big Boi and wife Sherlita Patton,? DJ Nabs, Polow Da Don, Raheem the Dream, DJ Toomp and all of my favorite A-town homies set up shop to chop it up.

    Ludacris and his boo Eudoxie, T.I., Young Jeezy, Demetria McKinney, Toya, daughter Reginae and hubby Memphitz, Jazze Pha, Atlanta Hawks Josh Smith, Diamond, Producer Lil Ronnie, and Atlanta City Councilman Kwanza Hall also came through for the worthy cause.

    RHOA’s Cynthia Bailey Joins Keri Hilson & More to Support Polow Da Don’s F.O.C.U.S. 4 Life Campaign [PHOTOS]

    Jul, 14 2011 | Written by ATLien

    Supermodel/Atlanta housewife Cynthia Bailey just opened her school of fashion but she still found time to rocks a F.O.C.U.S. 4 Life t-shirt in support of Polow Da Don’s charitable organization.

    Focus 4 Life provides an opportunity to create dialogue and build awareness around four key pillars of prevention, education, treatment and a cure.

    The cause hits close to home with Foundation F.O.C.U.S. co-founder, Polow da Don, “My grandma lost her battle with cancer and I am close with a lot of people whose families have fought the same battle.”

    Cynthia is joined by Keri Hilson, Laz Alonzo, Jessica White, Laurie Ann Gibson, Rashan Ali and more, who all participated in a photo shoot for the Focus 4 Life campaign.

    On Blast! Jeezy, Jazze Pha & Polow Exposed for Unpaid Recording Debts…

    May, 17 2011 | Written by ATLien

    They pop bottles all night long and “make it rain” at the skrip club but an explosive investigative report from CBS Atlanta reveals that a few big name Atlanta producers have been bilking the little guys that help them make those millions of dollars that they floss so much.

    Jazze Pha, Polow Da Don and Young Jeezy are all named in the report initiated by recording engineers who say they have unpaid invoices and court judgments going back years!

    Recording engineer Tony Terrebonne supplied a CBS Atlanta investigative reporter with a Gwinnett County court judgment against Polow Da Don, showing he owes more than $20,000 in unpaid studio services and attorneys fees.

    Terrebonne said $8,0000 of that is for his work on the Chris Brown hit ?Forever.? Terrebonne provided an invoice that shows he is owed $480 for Usher?s ?Love In The Club.?

    Terrebonne said he has stopped working for Polow because he was owed $50,000 at one point.

    ?It’s a lot of hard work, I’ll be up for three days straight and I won’t get paid for it. It’s insane,? said Terrebonne who moved in with his parents and sold his car.

    Polow?s company, Zone 4, responded to the allegations through a statement to CBS which read:

    ?Polow always handles all of his business vendors with the utmost respect and timely payment, but this situation is a unique private dispute and as such Polow will not dignify any celebrity smear campaign by comment.?

    In other words… ‘I didn’t pay him but I have a mighty good reason’.

    But wait… there’s more! Continue Reading…

    Polow Da Don Honored By BMI + Keri Hilson Hosts New Music “After Party” [PHOTOS]

    Mar, 18 2011 | Written by ATLien

    Polow Da Don and Mary J. Blige… oops I mean Keri Hilson were spotted at BMI’s intimate, invitation-only mixer, held to honor the Grammy Award-winning producer for his musical and humanitarian accomplishments.

    Looking at the photo above, I can almost understand how The New York Post made THIS mistake.

    …but I digress.

    Immediately following the mixer, Keri Hilson hosted a Symmetry Live “new music” night in conjunction with Polow’s Zone 4, Inc.

    The photogs always manage to catch Keri with a cup in her hand… [Sidebar: I see a liquor endorsement in her future.]

    Artists featured on BMI/Zone IV’s new music “afterparty” included Lloyd, Timothy Bloom and a female artist who eerily resembled RHOA’s Lawrence Washington.

    Photos from Polow Da Don’s BMI celebration/music showcase below: Continue Reading…

        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?
