Tami Roman is all the way finished with Basketball Wives—but is she all the way done with one of her close friends? That’s the question that fans are asking after the reality star spoke on some of her former castmates.
During an Instagram Live Tami was asked about her relationships with her former castmates from the VH1 show —and she didn’t hold back.
When it comes to Malaysia Pargo, Tami said that they’re still friends on social media.
“Do I still talk to Malaysia? Yes, I talk to Malaysia via Instagram. I feel like I’m talking to you when I like your pictures. It’s like, I see a picture I like or I leave a comment on your picture. That’s me talking to you.”
“There’s no issue with me and Malaysia, “I don’t think there ever was an issue with me and Malaysia, so, ain’t no need to have one now.”
As far as Shaunie O’Neal however, Tami surprisingly said that they don’t speak and wouldn’t expound any further about why. The news is especially shocking considering that Tami and Shaunie have been longtime good girlfriends and Shaunie brought Tami onto Basketball Wives way back in season 2.
“Somebody said how is me and Shaunie. I haven’t talked to Shaunie since I left the show,” said Tami on IG Live. “So that’s how me and Shaunie are.”
OOF!
As pointed out by MadameNoire, Tami’s been hinting towards her strained relationship with Shaunie and said their friendship lacked reciprocity.
“I thought that Shaunie and I were real friends. I think that I put more weight and more value on the friendship than she actually was doing,” she said in May. “From my standpoint, I really loved and respected Shaunie a great deal. And so the last two seasons made me feel like it wasn’t any reciprocity. You gotta acknowledge that and honor it. If people don’t f–k with you like that they just don’t f–k with you. No harm, no foul. But I just realized that it wasn’t that deep for her.”
Shaunie MIGHT have responded on Instagram to Tami letting fans know that they no longer speak. She posted a meme saying;
“Staying quiet doesn’t mean I have nothing to say; it means I don’t think you are ready to hear my thoughts.”
If you were hoping to see Tami and Shaunie hash out their issues on Basketball Wives, you’re unfortunately out of luck.
Tami won’t be there and the cast will reportedly consist of Jackie Christie, Malaysia Pargo, Evelyn Lozada, O.G., Jennifer Williams, and of course, E.P. Shaunie O’Neal herself.

Seun Kuti & Egypt 80 makes a stand for afrobeat against corruption on latest release Na Dem feat. Tom Morello.
Seun Kuti & Egypt 80 deliver a powerful afrobeat statement with “Na Dem,” Featuring Tom Morello and produced by Femi Koleoso. The track has been a fan favourite even before its official release, and comes with the unmistakable spirit of protest, truth-telling, and social accountability that have long characterized Afrobeat’s most impactful moments.
The song’s heart is a direct challenge to corruption and the abuse of power. Instead of singling out one profession or institution for its critique, “Na Dem” identifies a larger culture of dishonesty, targeting bad lawyers, bad doctors, bad politicians, and anyone who would sell their integrity for personal gain. The message is sharp and uncompromising and delivered with the urgency that has become a hallmark of Seun Kuti’s artistry.
The inclusion of Tom Morello adds another level of intensity to the record. His presence adds to the song’s rebellious energy, creating a powerful intersection between the rhythmic activism of Afrobeat and the confrontational edge of rock. The result of the collaboration is a track that is both timeless and of the moment.
The song’s dedication to principle is what rings true. The moral center of the record is Seun’s statement that he would never prostitute his conscience for money. It turns “Na Dem” from a critique into a declaration of personal values, responsibility, and resistance.

Marsha Bartenetti reinvents in her own style “New York Minute”
Marsha Bartenetti’s latest release, “New York Minute,” written by Don Henley, Danny Kortchmar, and Jai Winding, offers emotional depth, turning a timeless look at life’s fragility into a reflective, cinematic journey. Stephan Oberhoff’s arrangement perfectly frames Bartenetti’s voice, and Kevin Bate’s expressive cello adds a warm resonance that makes the track feel like a movie.
The way each instrument sounds makes it feel planned, which lets the listener stay in the fleeting moments the song so beautifully describes. Bartenetti’s singing is the best part of the song. She shows an openness that feels real, as if she has lost something and still fully embraces love and presence with complete honesty. Her choice of words and small changes in tone make the lyrics feel even closer.
“New York Minute,” is a new version that pays tribute to the original while showcasing Bartenetti’s own style. The movie-like instruments and heartfelt vocals make the song feel both personal and universal. It makes us think about how hard it is to let go and hold on.
