“Worthless House Husband with Ring Light”: Tacha Destroys Solomon Buchi in Fiery Clapback Over Homecoming Video Criticism

Nigerian social media was set ablaze once again after a new war of words erupted between popular reality TV star Tacha and controversial social commentator Solomon Buchi. What began as a critique of a Lagos homecoming event quickly spiraled into a no-holds-barred digital slugfest, with Tacha delivering one of the most vicious clapbacks in recent celebrity history — branding Buchi a "worthless house husband with ring light" and accusing him of being a jobless internet critic living off his wife in the UK.

It all started when Solomon Buchi took to X (formerly Twitter) to weigh in on a viral video of Tacha’s recent homecoming in Lagos. The video showed a crowd of excited fans surrounding the ex-BBNaija star, cheering and taking photos. While many celebrated the turnout as a testament to Tacha’s enduring fanbase, Buchi saw it differently. His comment was laced with sarcasm and disapproval as he wrote:

“This is literally the reason Nigerian celebrities don't like moving abroad, because they'll miss the jobless Nigerians who fawn over them like this lmao.”

The post immediately drew mixed reactions. While some agreed with Buchi’s sentiment, many others called his take disrespectful and unnecessary. But the most explosive response came directly from Tacha herself — and she wasn’t pulling any punches.

Firing back with a fury only she could deliver, Tacha wrote:

“Calling Nigerians jobless but you set professional camera with mic talking about me! -screams joblessness- Better be thanking ur wife for housing you cause you've been in the UK for God knows how long Job you never see... now you're just worthless house husband with ring light. cry baby cryyya.”

The tweet instantly went viral, sending shockwaves through Nigerian social media. The phrase “worthless house husband with ring light” started trending within hours, turning into memes, TikTok sound bites, and WhatsApp status updates. The digital streets were roaring with laughter, disbelief, and in some corners — concern.

This isn’t the first time Solomon Buchi has found himself in the middle of a social media storm. Known for his provocative opinions and moralistic takes, Buchi has repeatedly courted controversy, often drawing criticism for speaking harshly about celebrities, feminism, and relationships. But this time, he may have underestimated the firepower of Tacha’s fanbase and the reality star’s penchant for savage comebacks.

Tacha, who has built her post-BBNaija brand on fierce independence and an unapologetic personality, was clearly not going to allow anyone diminish her Lagos reception. To her, Buchi’s comment was not only a personal jab but also an insult to her fans — the same fans who’ve supported her brand, products, and appearances long after the BBNaija lights faded.

As social media users picked sides, the discourse escalated. Some defended Buchi’s take as “truth cloaked in sarcasm,” while others accused him of hypocrisy and bitterness. They pointed out that despite his self-styled image as a relationship coach and moral commentator, he seemed increasingly obsessed with tearing others down for attention.

One user wrote: “This Solomon guy literally wakes up, finds a trending woman and starts preaching from his ring light. Tacha cooked him this time.”

Another added: “How can you shade someone’s success while sitting in your living room jobless? Tacha finished him with that ring light line.”

The mention of a ring light became the symbol of the dragging — representing Solomon Buchi’s alleged “joblessness” and how his commentary is reduced to “lights, camera, bitterness.” Tacha’s diss cut deep because it wasn’t just a random insult — it was surgical, personal, and rooted in public perception. The idea that Buchi, who is reportedly living abroad, hasn't held a visible job and is supported by his wife, fed directly into the narrative she was building — that of an irrelevant critic lashing out at relevance.

While Solomon Buchi has not issued a formal reply to the clapback, his timeline remained active with followers demanding a response, encouraging him to “clap back or log out.” Whether or not he returns fire, the damage — at least in meme culture — has been done.

This entire episode is yet another reminder of the power dynamics of fame, clout, and commentary in Nigeria’s digital age. In a country where social media has become the public square, entertainers, influencers, and pseudo-intellectuals battle daily for dominance, relevance, and the last word. It’s no longer enough to trend — one must dominate the conversation, control the narrative, and, when necessary, drag and be dragged.

Tacha, love her or hate her, has mastered this art. She doesn’t just respond — she erupts, forcing attention back onto herself, winning sympathy from fans, and ensuring that her name remains hot in every headline. Her clapback wasn’t just personal vengeance — it was brand maintenance.

The incident also highlights a growing tension between celebrities and online commentators, many of whom blur the line between critique and provocation. While commentary is a legitimate part of public discourse, the tone, context, and intention matter. In this case, Buchi’s sarcasm struck a nerve not just with Tacha, but with a large swath of Nigerians who are tired of seeing the poor and working class constantly labeled “jobless” for simply supporting their faves.

At the end of the day, it’s unclear who won the moral argument — but in the court of public entertainment, Tacha delivered a technical knockout. Her “worthless house husband with ring light” jab may go down as one of the most iconic clapbacks in Nigerian Twitter history.

The saga also serves as a lesson to all: if you’re going to talk about a woman who built an empire from reality TV fame, survived cancel culture, and came back even stronger — you better not be jobless, living abroad, and filming with a ring light. Because in Tacha’s world, you’ll get dragged, cooked, and served in front of the entire internet.
