Jennifer Williams ‘Flattered’ by Tami Roman Rap, Denies Making $12K an Episode

Days after Tami Roman dropped a freestyle rap fiercely dissing her “Basketball Wives” co-star Jennifer Williams, the latter has more to say.

Roman posted the rap nearly a week ago on her Bonnet Chronicles Instagram account. After taking issue with Williams’ claim that Roman tried and failed to return a stained dress, Roman took her out with a vulgar rap that alleged, among other things, that she only makes $12,000 per episode of the VH1 reality show.

Now Williams is responding to Roman’s allegation in more detail after initially promising she does, in fact, have proof of her dress story.

As fans sounded off on the rap in the comments of a photo Williams uploaded to Instagram Thursday, August 15, Williams took the time to respond and set the record straight about a few things.

One fan commented in support of Williams, “🔥… and you be clean.. check them chiks everytime they come for you stand in your truth and sue any chick that put their hands on you and Tami talking s–t about you make 12k and episode tell her.”

“@a_lenebabey facts!!! I haven’t made $12K in a very long time but haters will hate 🤷🏽‍♀️ #Beenon 💵” Williams commented confirming the fan’s observation.

“Tami still dissed you lol,” an apparent Roman fan remarked. In a shady response, Williams said she hopes she’s “not 50 taking time out my day to write raps 🤷🏽‍♀️ but I’m flattered.”

It should be noted that although Roman is nearing 50, she’s currently 49 and won’t celebrate the big 5-0 until April 2020.

In response, a commenter called out Williams for stirring the pot, something she’s been criticized for so far this season on “Basketball Wives.”

“@jenniferwilliams but you’re 50 taking time out your day to be messy AF and start s–t 😒 out here a whole senior citizen on a reality show, and that is all, both of y’all are entirely too old for this s–t,” someone replied.

Rather than addressing the user’s opinion, Williams decided to stick to the facts and corrected the IG user about her age.

“@bunni_bonds but I’m not 50 hun… try again!” said Williams, who previously told Atlanta Black Star she’s 43 years old.

Williams sounding off on Roman’s diss track comes after she made a cryptic post to her Instagram Story the same day Roman’s video, which has since been deleted, was uploaded.

“A hit dog will holla… We got the receipts boo… 🤷🏽‍♀️” Williams said in response to Roman’s hashtag, #ShowMeADeclinedReceipt. That was a comment on Williams’ allegation that Roman’s stylist could not return her supposedly stained dress because the credit card was declined.

Roman has yet to react to Williams’ newest responses.

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.
