ICYMI: Tacha slams Ayra Starr, Tems, Burna Boy’s appears to be like on the Met Gala

Actuality TV star and influencer Tacha Akide has sparked dialog on-line after sharing her unfiltered ideas on the pink carpet appearances of Nigerian celebrities on the 2025 Met Gala.

I believe somebody needed to say it. So the Nigerians on the Met Gala didn’t characterize and that is coming from a spot of affection. You already know I like Ayra Starr and Tems, and I am loopy about Burna Boy however belief me, they did not characterize in any respect.

Girl I get that the outfit was Oswald Boteng but it’s very clear that you weren’t their first choice because I’m not even understanding this outfit at all. Haven’t you heard of veekee James or Swanky Jerry? They would have brought the moon down for your outfit with pure creativity. 

Next, she highlighted Ayra Starr’s outfit, stressing that it looked rushed and not completely thought through.

Now to Ayra Starr, you’re our future of Afrobeats our gen Z baddie. You cannot be wearing that to the met gala, it’s giving last minute or you weren’t informed. Do you know what veekee James. The look is giving Mary Amaka, please don’t do it again. If these designers don’t want you as their first choice please come home .

Burna boy you always kill the red carpet, what happened? You never miss but this time you did. You know we love you but next time let come correct.

She concluded by saying, “Let’s not even lie even Priscilla’s wedding served us better looks. One thing Nigerians are known for is music and also fashion sense. I love my people but someone had to say it.”

As would be expected, Tacha’s video sparked reactions and equal outrage, with mant taking the opportunity to educta her about how the Met Gala actually works.

You’re only skilled at video editing; beyond that, there’s nothing in your head!

Aunty Tacha….the designers buy tables then invite celebs and dress them to showcase their designs. You for dey ask questions before you whip out camera. 🤦‍♂️

As if veekee James and the other Nigerians you mentioned have $75,000 to purchase a ticket to showcase their works. girl just critique their outfit and go, stop giving advice on what/who they should wear cos you’re clueless on how the METGALA works.

The reason most celebs wear outfits by certain designers is cause these designers pay for their ticket. It’s $75,000 per ticket. Will Vicki James pay that for Ayra Star?
