    Jermaine Dupri StraightFromTheA 1

    Yesterday morning, I spilled the tea about Jermaine Dupri‘s rumored ‘tell-all’ ambitions…

    [READ: THEY SAY: Jermaine Dupri Planning Janet Jackson ‘Tell-All’ (PHOTOS + VIDEO)]

    The overall consensus seems to be that JD would be foul as hell if he chose to publish the intimate details of his relationship with Janet Jackson and his dealings with the Jackson family.?After all… some things should remain sacred right??

    That being said, Jermaine read my post (and I’m sure he read all of your comments as well) and he’s clearly feeling somekindaway about the tell-all ‘rumor’.

    The super producer hit me up in the tweets to offer a response, stating:

    Users can often screenshot Snapchat images before the time is up, and that?s exactly what the recipient of Morton’s gruesome message did.

    In The Tweets: Black Twitter Responds to #LightGirls Documentary [Watch Full Video]

    Jan, 20 2015 | Written by ATLien

    skins
    Last night, The Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN) aired Bill Duke’s ‘Light Girls’ documentary, the filmmaker’s follow-up to his exploration of colorism, Dark Girls (January 19, 2015).

    Duke explores the pain, privilege and prejudice of light-skinned women in the new documentary, ?Light Girls,? which is a spin-off of ?Dark Girls.?light-girls

    [FLASHBACK: The Shade Debate: Are ‘Dark Girls’ Treated Differently? (WATCH FULL VIDEO)]

    The Black community once again addressed ‘colorism,’ and Life Coach Iyanla Vanzant was there to lead the way as she detailed how hurtful words and name calling affects younger people as they move into their adulthood.

    Diahann Carroll, Kym Whitley, Essence Atkins, Raven-Symone (who once proclaimed to Oprah her desire to not be ‘labeled’ any color) and more opened up about their harsh experiences as light-skinned black women.

    ?When I had my own show, I used to tan three or four times a week in a tanning bed to get darker. I did,? Raven-Symone revealed in the new doc in reference to her show, ?That?s So Raven.?

    In case you missed it, watch the full documentary below… Continue Reading…

    Idris Elba StraightFromTheA 3

    NEWSFLASH!? Idris Elba is aging quite nicely!

    While Whasserface may have ruined many romantic images of the sexy actor with her claims of lost ‘love’, Elba still tops the food chain when it comes to Black male actors.

    [FLASHBACK: In The Tweets: Idris Elba’s ‘Anaconda’ Breaks The Internet (PHOTOS)]

    Elba has been getting a lot of buzz this week after word leaked that he was being considered for a role as the next James Bond.? It also didn’t hurt that HBO aired a marathon of ‘The Wire’ series, which has been remastered into a high-definition version. Stringer Bell?? In hi-def??? HBO won that battle without any competition!

    But I digress… 😆

    Idris recently responded to all the ‘Bond’ rumors and even sent out a cute lil selfie as a reminder of his good looks. Elba’s response + more photos of the extraordinarily handsome actor below… Continue Reading…

    In The Tweets: Black Greeks Voice Outrage Over #SororitySisters Reality Show!

    Dec, 16 2014 | Written by ATLien

    Sorority Sisters - StraightFromTheA

    VH1?s latest reality show controversy stems from the fact that they had the audacity to create a reality show based around women who belong to African-American sororities.

    sorority sisters‘Sorority Sisters’ features 9 women who are members of four different Greek-letter organizations, living and socializing in Atlanta.

    The series just started and many already feel that it’s missed the mark.? What could have been an uplifting storyline about Black professional college grads working together, participating in community service and showing how ‘sisterhood’ actually works, is instead a basic everyday reality show showing Black woman (and one token White female) engaged in ratchet behavior.

    [READ: RECAP: Sorority Sisters – Episode #1 ‘Sisterhood is Forever’ (FULL EPISODE)]

    Shocked?? I don’t know why you would be.? It’s been proven time and time again that positivity doesn’t work in the long run. What pays the bills is entertainment and that’s exactly what ‘Sorority Sisters’ seems to be aiming for.

    There was little to no sisterly love displayed in the premiere episode and Greeks and non-Greeks alike reacted on social media, slamming the show for perpetuating negative stereotypes and alternatively lifting #SororitySister to the top of the trending charts.

    In The Tweets: #CrimingWhileWhite Goes Viral In Wake of #EricGarner Decision…

    Dec, 4 2014 | Written by ATLien

    White Privilege Eric Garner Trayvon Martin
    The announcement that a New York Grand Jury decided NOT to indict the police officer that caused the death of yet another unarmed Black male, sparked public outrage online and off.

    If the Ferguson decision didn’t open eyes, the Eric Garner decision did.

    [FLASHBACK: #BlackLivesMatter! Killer Mike Speaks Out on CNN… (VIDEO)]

    The decision struck a nerve and thousands hit the tweets to voice their opinions about racial inequality in the justice system.

    While #BlackLiveMatter and #iCantBreathe?topped the trends last night, it was the #CrimingWhileWhite hashtag that opened eyes and sparked a new discussion about White privilege.

    Apparently if you’re White in America, you can commit a slew of crimes and not suffer the same consequences a black person might… at least according to many trending stories being shared on social media.

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.

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. 👽🛸

        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?
