DJ's mother

DJ's Mother, usually referred to as "Momma," was a supporting character in three Total Drama Action episodes.

Total Drama Island
DJ's mother was first mentioned on the Total Drama Island Totally Interactive website, in DJ's biography. It mentions that DJ joined Total Drama Island to win the grand prize and give his momma the ability to move back to her homeland, Jamaica, where DJ was born. The first time she was actually seen was in DJ's audition tape. Her appearance was in a photo, but she looked different. Instead of her normal flower hat and long hair, her hair was styled into a big afro and she wore an orange tank top. It is believed that this is a younger photo of DJ's mother. In his audition tape, DJ ended his audition by crying over his momma, saying that he loves her.

Total Drama Action
She is mentioned many times during the beginning of Total Drama Action, implying that DJ has an extremely close bond with her. She is mentioned, though, most of the time for her talent of cooking. She gave DJ a container of Momma's Spice. The main ingredient of the spice is a mystery on the actual show, but in Best. Game. Ever., it is revealed to be paprika. She first makes a very brief apperance in a photo in One Flu Over the Cuckoos, then, she plays a big part in DJ's elimination in the second season when, in The Sand Witch Project, DJ dreams about her being angry with him when she discovers his illegal alliance with Chef Hatchet. 'Momma' is seen with her flower hat and long black hair, verifying that she appears this way at the present time. She also speaks for the first time, sounding a lot like DJ himself (Clé Bennett, who also voices DJ, is also the voice actor for his momma). In the end, DJ's conscience tells him to admit the truth about what he did with Chef and pulls himself from the game.

She is seen again in The Aftermath: II, and she is there to make sure DJ tells the truth. However, this conflicts with Geoff, who wants him to lie, so DJ can get hit with an anvil and get the show higher ratings, to which she proceeded to throw vegetables at Geoff. DJ's momma didn't talk at all during the aftermath show, but she did make sandwiches for everyone.

DJ's mother didn't appear again until Celebrity Manhunt's Total Drama Action Reunion Special, which is her biggest role yet. She is shown in the beginning on a cooking show with DJ, which eventually got them into trouble when the cooking killed a person (or persons). DJ and his momma lost all their money and possessions, and were left with only a tour bus and two barrels for clothes, however, they were later seen to wear their regular clothes again, meaning that the barrels were likely just a one-time joke. She is immediately interviewed by Sierra, who asks DJ questions that might show a hateful side. However, his momma immediately shows her over protectiveness and scolds Sierra for thinking her son could hate someone, and slaps her with enough force to knock her down. Later on, when Tyler trips and crashes into Ezekiel and Beth, eventually causing the entire cast to get in a pile-up, Ezekiel is seen using slang to express his frustration. DJ's Momma does not approve of this, and swiftly slaps him over the head. When the cast has to find a way to get to New York City by the next day, DJ suggests that they take the tour bus his momma and him had. However, his momma told them all to wipe their feet first, much to their dismay.

She doesn't like much of what the castmates do on the bus. She is overprotective of the new upholstery (when Beth starts to get motion sickness), the table (when Leshawna doesn't use a coaster for her water glass), carpeting (when Tyler is carrying an armful of Owen's smuggled chocolate), and almost everything else. She also disliked Owen when she discovered that he brought caramels onto her bus, and found it insulting that he brought outside food onto the bus instead of eating her cooking. She also seemed quite disgusted when Leshawna offered her bra as a catapult, as she apparently (off-screen) took off the bra to do so right in front of her. She is angry at Courtney for crashing her bus into a canyon, but she goes with Geoff, Trent, Justin, Katie, Sadie, Eva, and Beth to find help. When she finally arrives at the Celebrity Manhunt studio, it is too late to get help since Chris had rescued the other contestants before and asked them to compete in the third season.

She is not seen for the rest of the episode, but is mentioned by DJ in the confessional, where he said he would win this season for her so he could buy her a big house, and possibly a new bus.

Total Drama World Tour
DJ's Momma is mentioned in Walk Like An Egyptian - Part 1 by DJ, twice. She is first mentioned when DJ comments on Alejandro, saying that he is "as smooth as her gravy." She is then mentioned when the cast is about to get to Egypt, with DJ stating that each second the cast is getting closer to adventure, but further away from her.

In Super Happy Crazy Fun Time Japan while the cast is singing about the things they wanted to do before they died, DJ mentioned that he wanted to see his Momma before he died and frequently mentioned her in the song.

In Anything Yukon Do, I Can Do Better, DJ begins to cry since the frigid temperatures of the Yukon reminded him of his mother's freezer. His crying ultimately freezes his eyes shut and causes his team to lose the challenge.



In Can't Help Falling in Louvre, DJ mentions to Lindsay that he doesn't want her to know he's a vegan, as she considers them chicken-loving chickens. After Team Victory loses yet again, DJ happily asks Lindsay to vote him out so he can head back home. When Chris announces the two will partake in a challenge to determine who stays, DJ purposely throws the challenge, instead drawing pictures of him and his momma. After the judges see DJ's design, he, thinking he's lost, happily states that he's coming home, and is disappointed to learn he won the challenge.
