Natasha Anita Akide, popularly known as Tacha; ex-BBNaija housemate
Former Big Brother Naija housemate, Natasha Anita Akide, popularly known as Tacha, has once again expressed confidence that she would have won the Season 4 edition of the reality TV show, “Pepper Dem”, if she hadn’t been disqualified.
Speaking during a recent appearance on the Hot Takes podcast by Pulse, Tacha reflected on her time in the house, emphasising how often she was nominated for eviction yet managed to survive each time.
When asked if she thinks she would have won the show if she wasn’t disqualified few days to the end of the show, Tacha boldly stated that she knew the prize cash was for no one except her.
“I knew I was going to win…No, I didn’t think. I knew because at the end of the day, the fact that they were always putting me up for evictions.
“In the history of Big Brother and I, nobody has stood as much as I have stood.
“I was up about 11 times, 11 possible evictions. Nobody has been up that much,” Tacha said.
She said her confidence was rooted in the fact that her name constantly came up for eviction, but she remained in the house until her eventual disqualification for a physical altercation with fellow housemate and eventual winner, Mercy Eke.
When asked about her current favourites from this season of Big Brother Naija, Tacha shared that she’s rooting for a few contestants.
“I like Sultana. I like Dede. I like Kola too, I’ve met him before.
It’s a house full of different personalities. Very confused, yet I love them,” she said.
The social media sensation who is currently attempting to set Guinness World Record for the most makeovers in 24 hours at a beauty festival she is hosting in October, spoke about what prompted her decision.
