At a glance

Tacha was a housemate on the 2019 Big Brother Naija Pepper Dem season.
She appeared on MTV's The Challenge: Spies, Lies & Allies in 2021.
She made her radio-hosting debut on Cool FM's The Big Friday Show in June 2023.
Guinness World Records reported that she earned record titles for cosmetic makeovers completed by an individual over eight-hour and 24-hour periods in October 2025.

Background and public identity

Akide has said that she was born and raised in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, and has used the sobriquet "PH's First Daughter." She is publicly identified by the names Tacha and Symply Tacha.

Reality television and broadcasting

Tacha became widely associated with the 2019 Big Brother Naija Pepper Dem season. The programme disqualified her on September 27 after an altercation with fellow housemate Mercy Eke, citing its rule against physical violence. She later appeared on MTV's The Challenge: Spies, Lies & Allies in 2021 and made her radio-hosting debut with The Big Friday Show on Cool FM in 2023.

Cosmetic-makeover records

Guinness World Records reported that Akide set two record titles in Lagos on October 11, 2025, covering the most cosmetic makeovers completed by an individual in eight hours and in 24 hours. Its record listing gives her eight-hour result as 82 makeovers. Sources disagree over whether the 24-hour result was 143 or 144, so that total is not presented as settled.

Beauty-brand activity

As of August 22, 2026, a Tacha Beauty HQ website was active and accepting founder-waitlist, public-relations creator and distributor registrations. The reviewed site supports the existence of a public-facing beauty brand, but it does not establish Akide's legal ownership, corporate role or the commercial launch status of all advertised products.

Current context

A website branded Tacha Beauty HQ was active and accepting founder-waitlist, public-relations creator and distributor registrations. The website establishes a public-facing brand presence but does not identify the legal owner, confirm Akide's ownership or founder role, or establish that all advertised products had launched commercially.
Guinness World Records continued to list Akide's 82-makeover eight-hour record, while its feature page described her as holding two record titles. Record-holder status should be checked against Guinness World Records before later publication because record titles can change.
