Anita Natacha Akide, known as Tacha, a former Big Brother Naija reality star, recently addressed her absence from the BBnaija All-Stars edition, revealing that she declined their offer because they could not pay her
While hosting the Big Friday Show at Cool FM Nigeria, Lagos, she candidly stated that she didn’t accept the invitation because they could not meet her financial expectations.
Confident in her status as an established brand, Tacha emphasized that she doesn’t rely on any platform to gain popularity.

I spent $30k dollars on my teeth-Tacha
She asserted that if the show’s organisers wanted her participation, Multichoice would have to pay her for it.
She firmly expressed that she wouldn’t compromise her brand’s value without proper compensation
In the same interview, Tacha disclosed that she had spent a substantial amount of 30,000 US dollars solely on fixing her teeth.
She added that she had reached a level where she wouldn’t go on any show merely to entertain Nigerians unless the organizers were willing to remunerate her fairly.
Reactions: I totally agree with Tacha
Let’s have a look at some of the comments.
@turu:I totally agree with Tacha. What other visibility do the HMs need? It is about entertainment now so they should be paid. Are they not celebrities already? You never get a second chance to make a first impression
@meno:I understand the outcry but Tacha is right. BBN only gave her exposure to the fame she already had. She isn’t bigger than the show but I don’t expect her to leave her job and lose some gigs cus she wants to make big brother more money in exchange for free shows and SM engagement.
@ekun: Self confident at its peak! No leave no transfer. Tasha is who she think she is, if she wasn’t evicted she would have won that season of Big brother
@Theddy:This is a valid reason.People say “Brand given to you by Biggie”.what if she’s evicted as she said and loses the brand what next?
