  • Tameka Foster Glover Raymond Addresses Plagiarism Accusations

    Aug, 24 2009 | Written by ATLien

    byetweeps2Photo via Twitter

    TFGR can’t catch a break! After being outed for “borrowing” content for her essay on being a dark-skinned woman in America, Tameka went on a twitter rampage where she blasted the author who accused her of stealing her words:

    twitter rant1

    The one quote that I found most interesting was:

    ?To steal ideas from one person is called PLAGAIRISM, to steal ideas from many is research.? ~ Unknown Ppl seek claim & fame by any means!

    Someone please tell Tameka that to steal ideas at all is still STEALING! It’s really like a half-assed confession to say “yeah… I stole from you and several others but it was RESEARCH not plagairism…” *sigh* Just give the chick her credit and move on…

    Meka also wrote a full explanation over at Global Grind where she gave the credit for her inspiration to several well-known Black authors including Maya Angelou, Toni Morrison, Alex Haley, Susan Taylor, Khalil Gibran, Langston Hughes, Frederick Douglass and Zora Neale Hurston. She still failed to mention Aisha Curry but I guess her pride stands in the way.? Stay tuned….

    The “A” Pod ~ “My Patna Dem” + “Wassup” ~ Rich Kid$

    Aug, 10 2009 | Written by ATLien

    richkids

    If you haven’t heard of the Rich Kid$ yet you may just need to get out more often. Not 1 but TWO Rich Kid$ singles have been getting mad airplay in the “A” and they have been coined the next musical movement from Atlanta. Comprised of members: Rashard, Babe Kaelub, Baby Charles, Lil Juney and Skool Boy, The Rich Kids have the Atlanta underground music-scene going nuts. The group is a collection of all-star talent from Atlanta’s own Frederick Douglass, Westlake and Southside High Schools (APS stand up!!) and the two hit singles bubbling in Atlanta are the melodic “Wassup” and the club-banger “My Patna Dem”. Check em both out below:

    “Wassup” ~ Download

    “My Patna Dem” ft. Young Dro ~ Download

    The group’s first mixtape entitled “Money Swag” is hosted by DJ Infamous and you can download it right here under the cut:

I know that I’ll be stopped in the streets of the “A” and accused of being biased if I don’t post these but truth be told, I was gonna post them anyway….I’ve just been busy!

    Those of you who know me are well aware that I always give credit where credit is due and Rob….DUDE…You did this ish!! I’ve never seen such an astounding transformation in a photo. Tameka’s almost unrecognizable!

    Battle of the Pre-Teen Peen ~ Bow Wow vs. SouljaBoy

    Jul, 13 2009 | Written by ATLien

    Bow Wow ~ SouljaBoyPhotos via TwitPic

    I’m not going to even take up too much space in this post with silly nonsense. We’ve got two “almost” grown men who have access to tons of dollars and thousands of groupies. Both are talented individuals who have made it in the game as adolescents and both have recently had “breakdowns” on twitter.? The comparisons between the two could go on and on but I won’t even waste your time. All I know is, if I was 10 years younger I might be tryna cop one or the other, but since I’m not…I feel like a Chester the molester everytime I see either one of em with their clothes off!

    SouljaBoy Tellem recently revealed his huge package via Twitpic while Bow Wow is over on YouTube tryna market his own music. While SB’s bathroom mirror photo gets many a side-eye in light of all the Sexy Spectacular drama, Bow Wow’s rapping about his piece, stating: “I got enough d*ck to fill you up like Papadeux’s” might just sell him a few more cd’s.

    Wanna see what they working with? Wait…is Chris Hanson lurking behind the back door? Check first and then click below: Continue Reading…

    Bow Wow’s Suicidal Thoughts…

    Jul, 8 2009 | Written by ATLien

    Bow Wow TwitPic

    I’ve been saying that Lil Ike Bow-Wow had issues but I never thought they ran as deep as suicidal thoughts.

    All this week, Shad has been venting via his Twitter about being “bored with life” and being “in a dark place” and it’s becoming pretty disturbing… Continue Reading…

        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.

        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.

It was an honor to stand beside a woman who’s dedicated her life to helping people show up with confidence, class, and grace. The conversation was rich, the crowd was engaged, and the energy inside Black Coffee Atlanta was everything. Elaine, thank you for trusting me with your platform and your vision. Atlanta showed up and showed OUT for you!  A special thank you to my livestream moderator @princessag_tv  for popping out to support.

        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. 👽🛸

        🚨 UPDATE: Kenya Moore’s Hair Spa is still clo 🚨 UPDATE: Kenya Moore’s Hair Spa is still closed as of today *Nov 7, 2025! 

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?
