Big Brother Naija 4 ‘Pepper Dem’ former housemate, Tacha Akide has received backlash after claiming she was acknowledged by ace American rapper, Nicki Minaj.
It is an open secret that the reality star idolizes the American singer, who recently held an Instagram live session in which Tacha joined in.
On sighting Tacha’s handle, Nicki Minaj gave her a shout-out by calling her name, and this left her startled but over the moon.

Taking to Twitter afterward the actress said she was so excited and could not believe her idol noticed she came online.
She wrote, “Nicki said TACHA!! I Fainted and woke up all over again”
However, some netizens countered her claim, insisting Nicki Minaj was hailing a gospel singer, Tasha Cobbs, who had joined the Instagram live session earlier and not the BBNaija star.
Prior to this incident, Tacha’s fanbase named “Titans” had set Twitter on fire after Nicki Minaj followed her on the microblogging platform in January of 2021.
Meanwhile, the reality star officially joined Nollywood two weeks ago, when her co-actor in a new movie titled ‘Tiger’s tail’, Alex Ekubo, made it known via his Instagram page.
According to the actor, Tacha performed creditably despite featuring in her first movie, which will debut in July, he also said her fans should get out and see the movie when out.
He wrote, “You guys are gonna see @symply_tacha in a way you haven’t seen her before, it’s her 1st ever movie, & let me just be the first to say she completely killed it,”
