Reality TV star and media personality Tacha has publicly addressed rumours and speculation about her personal life, declaring in a recent interview that no one can rightly say she has slept with a married man. The former Big Brother Naija housemate made the statement during an appearance on Chude Jideonwo’s With Chude platform, responding to claims that have circulated in entertainment circles over time. 

Tacha, whose full name is Anita Natacha Akide, explained that despite what some critics may suggest, no evidence or specific accusation has ever been presented against her. She emphasized that her achievements and lifestyle are the result of her own hard work, and not linked to being involved with married men as some narratives have suggested. 

In the clip from the interview, Tacha said there have been ongoing rumours connecting her to married men, but she stressed that those claims are unfounded. “There’s no time they have not said it — Tacha and married men,” she said, noting that despite people linking her name to various married men, no one has been able to identify who those men are or provide proof. 

She went on to highlight her work ethic, saying that she proudly earns everything she has achieved through dedicated effort rather than relying on rumours or assumptions about her personal connections. “Any day, anytime, in my sleep or dream, everything I enjoy I worked for it so hard. Not a lot of people can make this mouth,” she added. 

The interview also touched on industry challenges, with Tacha explaining that in the entertainment space, not everyone wants others to succeed. She suggested that part of the reason for the persistence of unverified claims is rooted in jealousy and social bias rather than factual evidence. 

Fans and followers have reacted strongly since the video of Tacha’s comments circulated online. Many supporters praised her confidence and honesty, with social media users pointing out that openly addressing such rumours is rare in celebrity culture. Others noted that Tacha’s success in business, influencing, and entertainment gives her credibility when insisting that her career has been shaped by her own efforts.

Critics, meanwhile, offered mixed reactions, with some questioning whether such personal topics should be discussed openly on public platforms. But overall, the interview generated significant engagement from Tacha’s fan base, sparking renewed conversations about celebrity privacy, rumour culture, and personal accountability in the entertainment industry.
