Former Big Brother Naija stars Tacha Akide and Mercy Eke are showing fans that old rivalries can be left in the past. As Mercy celebrated her birthday, Tacha left a sweet message on social media, calling her colleague “gorgeous” and telling her to “stay winning.” Fans quickly reacted, praising the gesture and celebrating the positive energy between the two reality stars. Comments like “This is beautiful, I like this vibe” and “Tacha and Mercy forever” flooded the post, showing that followers are happy to see peace between them.
The two have had a history of tension. In 2023, Tacha publicly shaded Mercy after she flaunted her Range Rover. Tacha also tweeted, “But is she me?” implying she is in a league of her own. Later, when Ilebaye won the All Stars season, beating Mercy and others, Tacha hinted that her point had been proven, leading to backlash from fans and industry figures like actress Iheme Nancy. Tacha and Mercy’s fight during the “Pepper Dem” season caused Tacha’s disqualification and Mercy Eke’s eventual victory. Many fans believed Tacha could have won if not for the fight.
By 2022, The two had made up. They talked openly about their feud and called out people who tried to keep it alive. In an interview with Toke Makinwa, they said they no longer feel the need to act for public approval. Their appearance on Khloe Abiri’s Instagram Live showed that their friendship is real.
Tacha’s birthday message to Mercy proves old conflicts can be healed. Fans are happy to see their growth, showing that maturity and respect are possible in the entertainment world. It also reminds BBNaija stars and viewers that friendships can survive reality TV drama.
