- Former Big Brother Naija contestants Tacha Akide and Mercy Eke, once known for their rivalry, are now showing signs of reconciliation.
- Tacha surprised many by publicly wishing Mercy a happy birthday, sparking renewed interest in their evolving relationship.
- This act suggests a move towards maturity and a willingness to leave past disagreements behind.
The once tense relationship between Big Brother Naija stars Tacha Akide and Mercy Eke seems to be softening as they move towards reconciliation.
In a surprising turn, Tacha publicly acknowledged Mercy’s birthday with a heartfelt message, igniting conversations about their potential truce and emotional growth since their time on the reality show.
On Mercy’s birthday, Tacha left a kind comment, describing her as “gorgeous” and urging her to “keep winning.” This unexpected show of goodwill caught many followers off guard, especially given their history of social media exchanges filled with subtle jabs and rivalry.
Supporters quickly applauded Tacha’s gesture, praising both women for demonstrating maturity and personal development.
Their past interactions were often marked by indirect criticisms and online disputes. For instance, in 2023, Tacha appeared to take a jab at Mercy after she flaunted her new luxury car, tweeting, “But is she me?” which only fueled rumors of ongoing tension.
That same year, following Ilebaye’s win in the All Stars season, Tacha questioned whether Mercy’s victory in her season was legitimate without Tacha’s disqualification. Actress Iheme Nancy later defended Mercy, emphasizing that Mercy had garnered more votes and deserved her win.
Their previous conflicts often reminded fans of the infamous ‘Pepper Dem’ altercation that led to Tacha’s disqualification and Mercy’s eventual triumph.
Despite these past disputes, the two stars reconciled in 2022 during a joint interview with Toke Makinwa, where they addressed the fan-driven feud. Both admitted they never intended to maintain a rivalry and noted how social media exaggerated their disagreements.
Their newfound peace was further confirmed during an Instagram Live session with fellow reality star Khloe Abiri, where they dismissed rumors of ongoing hostility.
Tacha’s recent birthday tribute to Mercy has reignited hope among fans that the era of animosity between them is finally over.
