Lagos, Nigeria – October 22, 2025 – In a refreshing break from the usual celebrity feuds, Big Brother Naija alumni Natacha “Tacha” Akide and Mercy Eke have warmed hearts across Nigeria by celebrating four years of their unbreakable bond. The reality TV stars, who first connected during the 2019 BBNaija Pepper Dem season, took to social media to share nostalgic memories and gush over their enduring friendship, proving that sisterhood in the spotlight can thrive despite the odds.
Tacha, 29, kicked off the celebration with an Instagram post featuring a throwback clip from their time in the Big Brother house, showing the duo laughing hysterically during a late-night gist session. Captioned, “We’ve been cool for years! 4 years of real vibes with my Lambo 🥰 #TachaMercyDay,” the post included a montage of their joint appearances at events, from Lagos Fashion Week to charity drives in Port Harcourt. Mercy, 35, reciprocated with her own tribute on X, sharing a photo of them twinning in custom sparkly gowns at a 2023 gala. “4 years of loyalty, love, and laughter with my Titan Queen Tacha. We no dey pretend, we SOLID 💪 #MercyTachaForever,” she wrote, sparking a flood of heart-eyes emojis and celebratory hashtags like #TachaMercyDay and #FriendshipGoals.
The duo’s friendship, born amid the high-stakes drama of the Pepper Dem house, has defied fan rivalries that once pitted their respective “Titan” and “Mercenator” fanbases against each other. Their bond solidified post-show through mutual support—Tacha famously sent Mercy a truckload of flowers during her 2021 business launch, while Mercy was spotted cheering front-row at Tacha’s 2024 skincare brand unveiling. Fans have since dubbed them the “Dynamic Duo,” praising their ability to lift each other up in an industry often marked by competition.
Social media erupted with love for the pair, with fans digging up iconic moments like their joint TikTok dance challenge that racked up 10 million views last year. One X user tweeted, “Tacha and Mercy showing us how real friends move—no jealousy, just vibes. 4 years and counting! 🥂.” Another commented, “From BBN drama to building empires together, these queens are unstoppable. #TachaMercyDay.” The celebration even caught the eye of fellow BBNaija star Diane Russet, who chimed in, “This friendship is gold. More years, more wins, girls! 💖.”
Reflecting on their journey, Tacha shared a heartfelt voice note on her Instagram Stories, saying, “Mercy, you’re my ride-or-die. We’ve fought battles, laughed till we cried, and built something real. Here’s to forever.” Mercy echoed the sentiment in a live session, revealing plans for a joint project—a rumored lifestyle vlog series—to mark their milestone. “We’ve been through it all, and we’re still here. Tacha’s my sister for life,” she said, teasing fans with, “Y’all ain’t ready for what’s coming.”
As the celebrations continue online, the duo’s milestone serves as a beacon of positivity, reminding fans that authentic connections can outshine the glitz and gossip of fame. Here’s to Tacha and Mercy, rewriting the script on celebrity friendships—one heartfelt post at a time.
