Tami Roman is Booked and Busy, Resigns from Radio Gig

Tami Roman has so many hustles going on that she’s had to give one of them up. The “Basketball Wives” star on Thursday, posted an update on Instagram letting followers know she won’t return to The Al Rucker Show.

“I can’t believe it’s been a year already with the @alruckershow and I want to thank everyone who supported me on this journey, it’s been an experience I won’t ever forget!” Roman explained Aug. 2. “As I settle into life and work back in L.A., it makes it difficult for me to continue with the show at this time. Thanking the team for all the laughter, fun and shenanigans! Wishing them all the best and you guys continue to keep it locked on www.alruckershow.com💋.”

Roman added in the caption, “Thoroughly enjoyed my time on @alruckershow and wish the entire team the best of errrythang! Pappadeaux on me next time I’m home
@raheem_devaughn @se7enthepoet @jjonthemic until we meet again 💯.”

Fans responded by showering the BBW star with congratulatory messages.

“Happy for you Tami! 😊Continued success in all your endeavors😁.”

“The best is yet to come for u sis 💙🙌🏽.”

“Congratulations and blessings on your successes.”

“The next step in your journey is already ordered…..blessings with your name on them!! 💕”

“Tami said she’s coming for vengeance! Her career is on fire 💛💛.”

An on fire career is exactly what Roman is dealing with. The budding actress has several things in the pipeline as of late and so making the trek to Texas to be a part of the Houston-based radio show is a necessary sacrifice.

Last month, Roman began filming the movie “Fall Girls” in Los Angeles and she’s also working on her scripted Tidal series “Bonnet Chronicles.” And “The Real World” alum previously announced she’s teaming with Snoop Dogg on a late night variety show called, “Get Into It…Forizzle,” too.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
