  • Raymond vs. Raymond: Usher’s Ex-Wife Tameka Raymond Files “PAPERS” Seeking Full Custody + More Child Support…

    Nov, 29 2011 | Written by ATLien

    Usher Raymond just can not get Tameka Foster Glover Raymond off of his back and he’s headed back to court tomorrow (November 30, 2011) to battle his ex-wife yet again.

    It feels like deja vu all over again, except this time it was Tameka who filed dem “Papers” against Usher!

    Tameka is reportedly so pissed off about Ursh closing her Saks 5th Avenue account, that she’s seeking to gain full custody of the couple’s two son’s, Usher V (3) and Navyid (2).

    Usher was spotted spending time with his sons just last week in NYC, but Meka says that her ex has repeatedly failed to follow her instructions regarding his handling of the boys, and because of that (and her canceled Saks card), she feels he doesn’t deserve to maintain joint custody.

    Tameka also maintains in the legal docs that Usher’s income has increased significantly since their divorce, and she’s asking the court to grant her more child support “because of his success.”

    Cue Diddy…. “it’s all about the benjamins, babeeee!”

    Overheard: “You just posed between two of the most notorious “exes” in Atlanta…”

    And yes… Tameka is still yappin about me not liking her but I coulda sworn I forgave her about that death threat when we had that long “A”zz conversation at Essence last year. But I digress…

    Event producers Shanti Das and Marlon Nichols did a wonderful job bring together over 300 Atlanta tastemakers and music industry insiders to celebrated the One-Year Anniversary of the event, held at Park Tavern in midtown.

    Heralded as the most exclusive live music showcase in the city author/musician Fonzworth Bentley wowed the crowd with his expertly choreographed routine and R&B group NEXT reunited as headliners of the hot show.

    When RL spotted 112’s Q Parker sitting in the audience alongside his wife Sherlinda, he handed him the mic urging him to sing a few bars.

    Q first sung a lick while sitting but soon hit the stage, giving the hyped crowed a brief 112 flashback…

    But wait!!! There’s more…. Continue Reading…

    Tameka Foster Glover Raymond is airbrushed to the heavens covers the April 2011 issue of Sister2Sister magazine where she goes in depth about the plastic surgery procedure that almost cost her life.

    In her recent interview, Mrs. Raymond reveals that it was all her nanny’s fault that she went to Brazil and once there…. it was the nanny? (a former Brazilian “nurse”) who convinced her to have the “inexpensive” [read.. “CHEAP”] procedure. [insert side-eye here]

        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?
