Tacha Dedicates Guinness World Record Plaques To Late Mum

By Oluwarantimi Oludase 

Former Big Brother Naija housemate, Natasha Akide, popularly known as Tacha, is celebrating her Guinness World Record plaques.

The reality star who holds the record for the longest makeover: 82 makeovers in 8 hours, and 143 makeovers on 24 hours, shared a photo of her plaques on her Instagram page.

She stated that the record was motivated by impact, dedication, and consistency of a decade.

She also dedicated her achievement to her late mum who died 12 years ago, crediting her for moulding and preparing her for a time like this.

She wrote:
"Records are broken.
Some records are made.
And some are made with purpose in suits like this from @prudent_gabriel

82 makeovers in 8 hours.
143 makeovers in 24 hours.
This wasn’t just about speed… it was about impact, dedication, and a decade of showing up for my craft.

10 years of building.
10 years of believing.
10 years of becoming.
And today, the plaques say it all.
Thank you to the SA @connectwithlagos for your unending support

The fastest makeup artist in the world.
Thinking of you, mummy
I lost my mum, Stella, 12 years ago. My mom taught me everything I know today. Deep down, I wouldn’t be anything like who I am today if it weren’t for her. Every step, every win, every milestone… I wish I could run to you and say:

“Mummy, see… see what I did.”
Makeup… my first love.
The love that grew into passion.
The passion that has now birthed 2 Guinness World Records.

The hardest part of moments like this is knowing I can’t see you, I can’t hug you, I can’t call you and say:

“Mummy, your daughter is breaking boundaries.”

Mummy, I miss you so much.
I wish you were here to see this.
But I know you’re watching me.
Your daughter did it.
Grateful. Focused. Just getting started.

your BIGGEST TEE."
