How Singer Jacquees Got Involved in Tami Roman’s Spat with a Fan on Instagram

Tami Roman is ringing in the holiday season with a dose of playful shade toward singer Jacquees, who has spurred major online chatter for claiming he’s the rightful king of R&B.

“Happy Holidays from Tami and Reg,” Roman begins singing as she lies down next to longtime boyfriend Reggie Youngblood.

The way Roman strung out the words had many fans cracking up.

“Lmfaooooo 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽”

“Lol he struggled to hold his laugh until the end 😂😂”

“Reggie is like, “Tami, put the phone down.” 🤣🤣 Happy holidays @tamiroman !!!”

“👏🏾 Good job 😂🤣😂 @tamiroman and family 💕 Happy holidays 🎁”

Then, one commenter dismissed the fun moment, writing, “Worst note ever 😂😂😂”

A back and forth promptly ensued between the “Basketball Wives” star and @romesworldstr8.

“@romesworldstr8 I know you f—ing lyin’ 😂😂😂😂 hater 🤷🏽‍♀️” Roman said.

“@tamiroman 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 you need to take notes from mr randy Watson that boi bad,” the user replied.

But Roman took it in stride by taking a dig at the 24-year-old self-proclaimed “King of R&B.”

“@romesworldstr8 Jacquees has inspired me yo. I can do all things thru Christ who strengthens me 😂💪🏽” she said.

“@tamiroman so I take it ur the queen 😂😂😂,” @romesworldstr8 responded.

And it immediately evoked lots of laughter in the comments section.

“@tamiroman I absolutely cannot with you right now lmao. 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽‼️‼️‼️‼️”

“@tamiroman Im Ctfuuuuuu No You Didnt Bring Christ Into It😭😭😭”

The ABS Newsletter — Stories that matter, in your inbox.

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. 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, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up 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.
