“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.
The long-awaited trial in the murder case of legendary rapper Tupac Shakur has reached a major development, with Duane “Keffe D” Davis sentenced to 40 years to life in prison on October 13, 2026.
Davis was convicted of first-degree murder in August 2026 for his role in orchestrating the 1996 killing. Tupac was shot in a drive-by attack in Las Vegas on September 7, 1996, and died six days later.
During the sentencing, the judge addressed Davis, rejecting his claims that he had changed his life and moved on from his past. “Mr. Davis, for three years, I’ve heard you say some variation of the same thing to law enforcement, [in interviews], in your book, and it’s something like, ‘Yeah, I was involved in this, but I’m different. I’ve moved on. I got out of Compton. I’m a grandfather now.’ I’m here to tell you that’s not how this works,” the judge said.
She continued “You don’t get to take a man from his family. You don’t get to take his very life, his whole future from him, and just walk away from it. Especially when that man is Tupac Shakur.
“The world never forgot about him and his death, and neither did Las Vegas. It took us 30 years, but at this time, you are going to face justice for what you did on Sept. 7, 1996.”
Nollywood actor Timini Egbuson has reflected on how his perception of YouTube movies has changed over the years. The actor recalled that there was a time when he looked down on movies released on YouTube.
However, he now appreciates the opportunities they have provided for his career and joked that he might have struggled financially if he had continued to dismiss them.
Sharing his thoughts in a post on X, Egbuson wrote “Can’t believe I was looking down on YouTube movies at some point. Hunger go don kpai me by now.”
Nigerian singer Timi Dakolo has advised young people who are still living with their parents not to rush into moving out because of peer pressure.
The singer encouraged young people to focus on their personal circumstances rather than compare their lives with those of others. He noted that there is no need to leave their parents’ homes simply because they want to feel independent.
Sharing his advice, Dakolo said “No hurry, leave your papa house because of peer pressure. Forget all that, ‘I don’t have my freedom here.’”
