Former Big Brother Naija stars Natacha Akide, popularly known as Tacha, and Mercy Eke have left fans buzzing with excitement after revealing that they’ve been friends for four years.
In a video shared on social media on Wednesday, the duo were seen sitting side by side, laughing and addressing fans who still believed they weren’t on speaking terms.
Tacha, smiling as she spoke, said, “We’ve been cool for years. It’s been a long time – like four years now.”
Mercy added that it was actually their fans who reminded them to record the video to clear the air about their relationship.
The clip has since gone viral, melting hearts across social media as fans praised the reality TV stars for their maturity, reconciliation, and personal growth.
Their renewed friendship comes years after their heated confrontation during the 2019 Big Brother Naija “Pepper Dem” season, a clash that saw Tacha disqualified from the show and Mercy handed two strikes for her part in the altercation.
Despite the fallout, both women have since built impressive careers — Mercy Eke made history as the first female winner of Big Brother Naija, while Tacha has become a powerful social media influencer, entrepreneur, and brand ambassador.
Their reunion has not only silenced old rivalries but also shown fans that growth, forgiveness, and mutual respect are possible — even in the competitive world of reality TV.
