“Nicki Minaj Is My Mother” – Tacha Declares Her Undying Admiration
Former Big Brother Naija star, Tacha, has opened up about her deep admiration for American rapper Nicki Minaj, revealing the special connection she feels with the hip-hop icon.
In an interview with Madame Joyce, Tacha expressed her unwavering support for the Anaconda hitmaker, whom she fondly refers to as her “mother.”
Tacha didn’t hold back her enthusiasm, explaining how Nicki Minaj’s bold personality, musical prowess, and trailblazing career have made her a role model.
“I’m obsessed with Nicki Minaj,” she confessed during the interview.
“She’s everything and more. She’s someone I truly look up to. Nicki is my mother!
Anybody who claims to hate her actually loves her deep down — they’re just pretending.”
This admiration goes beyond mere fandom.
Tacha shared that her peers in school often compared her to Nicki Minaj, giving her the nickname “Nicki Minaj” because of her confidence, attitude, and perhaps a touch of her bold style.
“People used to call me Nicki Minaj back then in school,” she recalled with pride.
Nicki Minaj, known for chart-topping hits like Super Bass, Starships, and Chun-Li, is celebrated not only for her music but also for her fearless personality and impact on female rap.
Her influence spans beyond the music scene, inspiring millions of fans worldwide with her message of self-confidence, independence, and resilience, qualities that resonate deeply with Tacha.
