DJ's mother

DJ's Mother, usually just referred to as "Mama," is 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, on 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 of 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, she wore her hair in a big afro and she wore an orange tank top. In his audition tape, DJ ended his audition 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, mostly for her talent of cooking. She gave DJ a container of Mama'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 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 and that she discovers his illegal alliance with Chef Hatchet. This is the first appearance in which she has her flower hat and long black hair, which becomes her official look. She also speaks for the first time, sounding a lot like DJ himself (Clé Bennett, who plays DJ, is 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, where 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 mama didn't talk at all during the aftermath show, but she did make sandwiches for everyone.

DJ's momma 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. 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 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 players before and asked them to compete in the third season.
