Tacha, Zlatan Ibile reconcile years after “body odour” spat

BBNaija Tacha Big Brother Naija

Reality TV star Tacha and rapper Zlatan Ibile have appeared to resolve their long‑standing disagreement, six years after a highly publicised controversy that divided fans online.

A video circulating on social media shows the former Big Brother Naija housemate and the music artiste dancing together and interacting in a relaxed manner. The clip suggests that both personalities have moved past their earlier dispute.

The disagreement dates back to 2019 during the Big Brother Naija season when Tacha was disqualified from the show after a confrontation with fellow housemate Mercy Eke.

In a heated argument inside the house, Mercy accused Tacha of having body odour. This exchange trended widely among viewers and on social media.

Shortly after Tacha’s exit from the show, Zlatan Ibile released a video and music referencing the rumours about her body odour. In the footage he shared, Zlatan danced with perfume bottles and performed lyrics about the situation, drawing criticism from some Nigerians who called the act inappropriate and disrespectful.

During her first post‑eviction interview in 2019, Tacha addressed the allegations and Zlatan’s involvement. She did not express anger toward the rapper and said she was a fan of his work. “I didn’t see it as anything, I like Zlatan and I love his music, it’s all love,” she said when asked about the diss track.
