‘U Shinning’: Tami Roman Drops New on-the-Set Photos — Is It for Her New Spinoff?

Tami Roman still hasn’t uttered any updates about whether she’ll appear onBasketball Wives” this season. But she may have started shooting her new spinoff series, and fans are praising her as a result.

The hard-working star on Wednesday uploaded a series of photos onto her Instagram account posing in a blond wig and a tracksuit alongside her daughter Lyric Anderson.

It’s not clear exactly what’s being filmed, but Roman and Anderson were flanked by stylists as they took in the sights at Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida, March 6. And Roman tagging VH1 in her caption may indicate the moment was captured for her upcoming rumored “Basketball Wives” spinoff, “Beverly Trill Billies.”

“Thanking these beautiful souls for an amazing shoot! @lyricchanel @styledbyudi @tb_hairstylist @micahmiami #LooksOfVanity @vh1 💋❤️💋” Roman captioned one photoset.

“Posted up in @champion between takes #setlife @styledbyudi @tb_hairstylist @micahmiami #LooksOfVanity 💋” she captioned a separate photo, indicating what was being shot was for TV and not for a still photographer.

Whatever it is, fans are astounded by Roman continuing to secure her bag on TV on her own terms.

“You are killing a girl do your thing.😍👀”

“You’re amazing truly an beautiful spirit @tamiroman 👑👑👑👑 keep being great on purpose Queen.”

“You go girl still making moves I like your style.”

“yes my sis u r doung it grl. luv u.”

“U shinning ❤️”

As for the show Roman and Anderson could be working on, speculation emerged last summer that the reality star and actress had landed her own Mona Scott-Young–produced show separate from “Basketball Wives.”

Roman posted a photo at the “Love and Hip-Hop” franchise creator’s offices with publicist and TV producer Ernest Dukes and Roman’s longtime boyfriend Reggie Youngblood.

“Living my blessed life 🙌🏽🙌🏽 #Squad @monascottyoung @reggieyb1 @erndukes,” the star wrote in the caption of the image.

Before the ball got rolling on the show, Roman disclosed to Life & Style magazine that doing it will provide the opportunity for her to share a new side of herself to viewers.

“I’m thankful that the spinoff is coming now because I get to show the many different facets and dimensions that aren’t actually seen on ‘Basketball Wives,’” she said that July. “You know I have this great guy, I have great children, I have a great career, I do a lot of philanthropy work, I’m involved socially in my community and outreach programs and I have an amazing blended family, and so it felt like the right time to do something like this.”

Still independent.

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.
