  • Battle of the Bling ~ Lil Duval vs. T. Pain

    Jun, 22 2009 | Written by ATLien

    Lil Duval vs. T. Pain

    In his classic hilarious way, Lil Duval showed T. Pain how to really rock the “bling” minus the major price tag. Funnyman Lil Duval revealed his “Fake Ass Chain” during Hot 107.9’s Birthday Bash on Saturday and cracked every one up…

    Lil Duval's "Fake Ass Chain"

    “I had 2 let my twitter people see it 1st t pain ain’t got shit on me!” ~ June 20th

    “im looking around and from the looks of it i aint the only nigga walking round here wit a “FAKE ASS CHAIN!” ~ June 20th

    “My chain broke on me while swag surfin on stage but I fixed it right on stage. IMA REAL NIGGA!” ~ June 20th

    “but real talk i think i took all the shine last night ask anybody that was there until lil wayne walked his super famous ass on stage” ~ June 21st

    Yep…Lil Duval’s chain was the talk of the evening! Even T. Pain himself had to take notice of the “Fake Ass Chain” and reached out to the comedian via Twitter:

    “I just want yall to know I fully support lil duvals fake ass chain. That dude has been the funniest mofo since I can remember. Keep doin it.” ~ T. Pain via Twitter

    Who do you think won this battle of the “bling”? 😆

    It’s been called the “craziest collaboration EVER” and dayum if it ain’t. *sigh* Taylor Swift and T. Pain (+ his Autotunes thingy + his BIG ASS CHAIN) joined forces in a *cough* “rap” collaboration to open the Country Music Television (CMT) awards show, which aired last night.? T. Pain and that dayum autotunes thingy has now sucessfully infiltrated the wonderful world of country music, what’s next….Jazz? Texas? The WORLD? *sigh*? I have no words….

    “I’m so gangsta you can find me baking cookies at night…” ~ Taylor Swift

    WTF?!? T. Pain’s “Big ‘A’zz Chain”

    Jun, 8 2009 | Written by ATLien

    t-pains-big-ass-chain

    T. Pain revealed his latest trinket last night via his Twitter. Pain’s “Big Ass Chain” is valued at a whopping?$410,000 and in case you’re wondering, he says that his bling is?197-karats and weighs in at 10 pounds:

    “Dudes and girls, I just wanna give a quick preview of the last chain you’ll ever like. I’m shuttin’ it down.”

    “I told everybody I’m not playing no more anybody wanna try to out do me then we goin at it like next door neighbors. Believe dat”

    “10lbs. 197kts. Very very real I don’t know what fake feel like.$410,000. Hola se?or recession proof.”

    11560410

    T. Pain goes on to explain his recent purchase after someone left the following comment under his photo: “That is coonery at its finest hour…smh…another lose for blacks in society”

    “lets celebrate the fact a black man can have things like this and still care for 3 kids and wife n a $6 million house?with 32 cars.Oldest child 5 and already got 4 million in her own account.I dont do dumb shit like this till I know the fams good so don’t judge me frm what I buy. Judge me frm what I do.Cuz it’s so many artists that put themself before their family.”

    I’m of the mindset that it’s his money and he can spend it as he so chooses, but in an age where there are so many people suffering financially, it just seems a tad bit insensitive. ?Shoot, for $410,000 he coulda bailed out quite a few failing businesses and saved some jobs round here…

    The “A” Pod ~ “Down Low” ~ Yung Joc ft. AK & T-Pain

    Apr, 9 2009 | Written by ATLien

    Check out my new BFF, Yung Joc‘s new song entitled “Down Low” feat. AK and T-Pain. It’s really not about what you think…or maybe it is depending on your state of mind. I immediately jumped to my own conclusions before I heard it…but I’m from the “A” so please forgive me.

    The “A”Pod ~ “Turnin’ Me On” (Remix) ~ Keri Hilson ft. T-Pain & Lil Wayne

    Mar, 3 2009 | Written by ATLien


    Keri Hilson Feat. T-Pain & Lil? Wayne – Turnin? Me On Remix

    Spotted @ TheSmokingSection

    The song is hawt on it’s own and the remix is just that much better.? Check out the remix to Keri Hilson‘s Turnin’ Me On featuring T-Pain and Lil Wayne.? Keri goes hard at ‘someone’ in her mini rap when she states “Check the credits Ho!”…everyone seems to believe it’s Beyonce but I don’t see it that way. I thinks she’s merely tellin all y’all hating “A”zzz “ho’s” that she wrote this ish! 😆

    By the way, Tariq “King Flex” Nasheed called me out as a ‘super snoop’ on his Mack Lessons radio show last week and he also asked me to post more Keri. Tariq seems to think that Keri doesn’t do men.

    Well I put my super snoop skills to work King Flex! You’ll be happy to note that Keri plays with balls. 🙂

        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?
