The reality TV personality made the disclosure while appearing on the Honest Bunch podcast, where she opened up about her experiences living abroad.

Life Abroad — Tacha’s Reality

According to Tacha, she stayed in one of the UK’s most expensive neighbourhoods, paying a whopping £5,000 (about N10.3 million) monthly for rent alone.

Omo, that’s the kind of rent that can make anybody start calculating their life choices before the month ends!

She explained that although she had friends in the UK, many of them couldn’t spare time to see her because they were busy working multiple shifts.

Her Words on the Podcast

“I’ve been called different types of names. I got disqualified from the reality TV show… The people you call your friends, when you travel, they’re not really your friends anymore,” she said.

Tacha added that she understood their situation because life abroad can be demanding. She also described moments where she saw people lying helplessly in public places asking strangers for as little as £1.

“Like, you’re seeing it happen for real. It’s such a hard place when you don’t have uncles, aunties, or parents around, because everyone has a lot going on for themselves as well,” she explained.

The Bigger Picture

Her revelation has stirred reactions online, with some fans impressed by her ability to live in such an expensive area, while others question the necessity of such high rent.

One thing is clear — Tacha’s lifestyle abroad was far from ordinary, and omo, this gist is going to keep the comment section busy for a while.

The reality TV personality, who recently returned from her stay in the UK, initially claimed she was paying £5,000 (about N10.3M) monthly for rent. The statement quickly grabbed attention online — but not everyone was buying it.

Neighbour Steps In to Debunk Claim

According to reports, a social media user with the handle @Tommyleewiz alleged to be Tacha’s former neighbour in the UK. He disputed her rent figure, saying:

“She was my neighbour btw, and I’m not sure when they increased our rent to £5k sha.”

Omo, just like that, the conversation shifted from admiration to controversy.

Tacha’s Explosive Response

In a fiery clapback, Tacha accused the said neighbour — and others in the area — of stealing from her during her time there.

She wrote:

“You thought I meant your thief thief Collindale?? Mothafuxkers stole my 450k outfit… living in a rich neighbourhood but still dey steal cloth?? Cold And B R O K E.”

Omo, see as the gist just took a sharp turn from rent talk to fashion theft allegations.

Social Media Buzz

The exchange has since sparked mixed reactions online, with some users entertained by the drama and others calling for calm. While Tacha did not mention specific names beyond the handle, her comment has left the internet divided over who’s telling the truth.

The Bigger Picture

Whether it’s about rent prices or stolen outfits, one thing is certain — Tacha knows how to keep herself in the headlines. This latest drama adds to her long list of viral moments, and omo, it doesn’t look like the buzz will die down anytime soon.
