    New Couple Alert? Bobby V. & Shanell

    Apr, 21 2010 | Written by ATLien

    Bobby Valentino Bobby V and Shanell of Young Money were spotted last night during BMI’s Unsigned Artist Showcase.

    [READ: Drake Headlines BMI’s Unsigned Artist Showcase – PHOTOS + VIDEO]

    Am I the only one who notices Bobby’s hand located strategically close to Shanell’s rear in the photo above? Now we all know that Shanell is known as Lil Wayne’s boo, but apparently since Wanes’s locked down, Bobby V’s tryna lock it in…

    Someone should warn Shanell about Bobby and his iphone. The last thing she needs is for Wayne to find out she’s been twitpic’d butt naked in the mirror with Bobby V.

    No ma’am. Don’t do it!

        For YEARS y’all invited us into everything — t For YEARS y’all invited us into everything — the love, the prenup, the babies, the fights, the businesses… all of it on reality TV.
But NOW that the divorce is in court, suddenly it’s “seal the documents & protect my privacy”? 🤔

Meanwhile Todd ain’t trying to seal a thing.
So what changed? And what doesn’t she want the public to see?
Let’s talk about it… 👀🍿

        They try to silence strong Black women for telling They try to silence strong Black women for telling the truth — but somehow misogyny gets rewarded with views, clicks, and applause.

What’s even more disturbing? So many women are cheering it on.
At some point, we have to ask: Why is disrespect toward Black women still profitable?

This isn’t entertainment.
This is accountability.

👇🏾 Let’s talk in the comments.

        This was not a “read.” This was an unprovoked, This was not a “read.” This was an unprovoked, problematic rant — and it needed to be called out. Junkie Dineva went after Tamar Braxton’s parents, upbringing, and mental health for no legitimate reason, and that kind of misogyny should never be excused as entertainment.

Going viral for disrespecting Black women is the real issue — and that’s what we’re unpacking on ATLien Live.

        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?
