Tami Roman Still Busy Getting to the Money as She Lands New Gig With DC Young Fly

Tami Roman remains a booked and busy woman.

The actress recently teased yet another new gig on her Instagram account, and this time in involves former internet comedian-turned-actor DC Young Fly.

“We got something special coming 🔥 @dcyoungfly let’s get it! @monascottyoung does it again 🙌🏽,” Roman said on Instagram Monday, March 11.

It’s not clear exactly what the project will entail, but Roman also uploaded a quick video to her Instagram Story the same day, giving a glimpse of the duo in front of a green screen.

“So much fun with this one @dcyoungfly 🙌🏽” she wrote across the video.

That’s all the info there is on the effort, which apparently is being helmed by “Love and Hip-Hop” franchise creator and producer Mona Scott-Young. But that didn’t spell zero excitement from Roman’s followers. In fact, it was the opposite.

“😃🤗🔥🔥🔥 idk what it is but I’m excited! 😁❤️”

“Yessss, come thru with another one @tamiroman I’m HERE for it all!!! ❤️❤️”

“Whatever it is…I know it’s going to be lit🔥”

“Yasss keeping them checks coming🙌😍.”

“What ever you got going on, I’m here for it. Stay Blessed 🙏🙏😇😇”

Roman’s list of side projects is nearing the countless realm as she continues to put more and more distance between her time as a star on “Basketball Wives.”

For one, this is the newest collab the actress has with Scott-Young. The first is her family-focused reality show the “Beverly Trill Billies,” which it seems Scott-Young will produce.

Roman was also recently seen filming some scenes for the VH1 variety show “Martha & Snoop’s Potluck Dinner Party” late last month. Decked out in a huge Afro and ’70s-style jumpsuit, it looks as if her episode involves a disco theme.

And that’s not all. The star, who recently appeared on TV One’s “Uncensored” and boldly disclosed her tough road to stardom, is also returning to acting.

After she starred as villain Linda in the January BET movie “Fall Girls,” she returned to the small screen and fans saw her in the TV adaptation of the best-selling Carl Weber book series “The Family Business.”

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.
