Not stopping there, she went ahead to ask others to imagine what people would say about the first two or three people who would get evicted.
She said:
“What is airtime without entertainment? Just imagine the first two or three people that would be evicted from the show, what would people say? Because I mean right now, people already have what they are saying about the housemates going back in and all of that.”
BBN Tacha says it’s all business
Tacha also revealed that everything is business to her. She explained further by saying that she would have gone for BBNaija All Stars if the organisers were going to pay her.
According to her, she was not willing to water down her brand for the sake of entertaining Nigerians on the show. Tacha added that her personality is not one people come across every day.
She stated:
“Like I said, for me, it’s all about business. If you’re going to pay me, then yes we would do it. But if you’re not going to pay me, I’m not going to water down my brand to give Nigerians a show because come on nau, It’s Big T, we know nobody can do it like me. Let me tell you, I was washing clothes on possible eviction night, I was washing clothes that I knew was going to dry the next day because I know I’m not going anywhere. Like I would literally give the hairstylist my wig to bring back the next Sunday, no cap. I know how entertaining all of that kind of stuff can be because I mean personalities like this, you don’t really meet them everyday.”

If you're getting evicted, let it be with money
Tacha also spoke during the interview about how she might once again get disqualified on the BBNaija All Stars show. She added that it would be better to leave the show knowing that you have already been paid rather than to leave with nothing.
She said:
"So if they’re going to pay me… there’s even no question about if I’m going to win it this time if I go or not. Because I fit go and I get disqualified a day before the show go finish. So let it be that if you’re getting evicted, you know you’re getting evicted with money in your pocket. That’s it really, not like there’s never going to be a Tacha on a reality show. I have done a reality show since after 2019 and I got paid weekly to be on that show, thousands of dollars.”

Tacha’s explanation about why she did not participate in BBNaija All Stars soon caused a huge buzz on social media. Many netizens shared their thoughts on what she had to say. Read some of their comments below:
inumidun_:
“They obviously didn't call her back because she was disqualified in the first place but then this type of pride is just disgusting.”
thefoodnetworknig2:
“See I’m not even against hyping yourself… if she thinks she’s a big deal, she is a big deal! That’s on her and whatever gain she’s getting from the hype!”
hairess_gallery:
“Knowing your worth and fearlessly adding a shittload of tax is NOT a crime!”
tosinjuls:
“All of you shouting PRIDE up and down should calm down. She knows her worth. Not everybody knows their worth. People are always intimidated when they see a bold woman that is firm with her decision. We should not lie tacha is truly a good entertainer.”
blackcabin_:
“All of you people calling it pride don’t know how to monetize your worth. It’s one thing to “know your worth” and another to know how and when to take a firm stand and put a price on it.”
fear_god__.__:
“The same reasons you all are hating on Tacha is the same reason you all are hating on Burna boy. River state ppl have this positive pride in them, they know their worth and they carry it with pride dem no send your papa.”
yourprincecharming01:
“Disqualified housemates are not allowed same reason you probably ain't seeing erica there bbn gave you a platform respect it .”
akandaoflagos:
“See this ngbeke feeling funky, big brother gave you a platform, you are still relevant cos of simps, your ego is bigger than you. Please talk should go and look at her entry to big brother speech. Now you are feeling like you made yourself.”
tosinjuls:
“She knows DSTV will make a lot of profit off her just because of her presence. People enjoy watching her. Yes she deserves to get paid separately just for coming.”
iam_linchpin:
“Tacha you’re kinda over hyper inflating ur “personality & worth” to the average Nigerian that actually don’t care about u & this BBN show in its social media famzings. 70% of Nigerians are currently suffering & the economy is biting them very hard & u think an average Nigerian in Osun or Ebonyi or Kastina really care about u & ur clout at this dire economic time? You’re just an “Mgbeke feeling funky”, come down from that ur imaginary high horse & face reality.”
Big Brother makes money - Sir Dee
BBNaija Pepper Dem star, Sir Dee, recently had a chat with Legit.ng where he shared his thoughts on the reality show holding almost back to back.
According to him, Big Brother show is a business and it makes the organisers money. He said:
“Big Brother is a show that makes money. If your coke is selling, you will keep selling coke."
Sir Dee also went ahead to speak on how the almost back to back Big Brother show could affect the housemates who had not fully harnessed their fame.
According to him, if the ex-housemates are purposeful and know what they want, they would not need so much time to carve their own niche.
He said:
"To be fair, there’s always going to be a rush and there’s always going to be a sense of unpreparedness when it comes to coming out and maximising the platform. Life gets harder every year, you learn to work with what you have. Yes it’s a shorter space in time for them to maximise their fame but if you’re purposeful, especially in our day and time, there are a lot of engines that help you achieve what you want. So if you’re purposeful with what you want and you know what it is that you’re trying to get, you don’t need that much time to be able to define a niche. Because Big Brother’s housemate is not a job description, so you need to define a niche in another space, you really don’t want to be a Big Brother housemate for the rest of your life."
