Taking to her Instagram story, Cardi B showed appreciation for Mercy Eke, expressing her approval of the outfit by writing, “888888888.”
Ecstatic about the recognition, Mercy Eke shared her excitement and plans to frame Cardi B’s compliment.
She wrote;
“Whooooshhhhh waking up to my idol reposting my picture. Thank you my queen @iamcardib I will frame this and hang it in my room, period. @Swankyjerry e come. 88888888.”

Unfazed by the criticism, Tacha boldly declared a “pandemic of low self-esteem” on social media. Addressing the issue head-on, Tacha expressed her confidence.
In her words;
“There’s a serious pandemic in town called ‘LOW SELF ESTEEM’ and it’s just LAUGHABLE!! you guys want me to be TIMID SOO BADD! Sorry to burst your bubbles!! My MOTHER RAISED A CONFIDENT WOMAN!! I can’t be anything else. Ps: I’m drinking your tears rn.”
