Tara Dikov (December 19, 1997 - January 4, 2023) was an American singer and songwriter. She was signed to Pink Salami Records for most of her career and was notable for her rivalry with Grace, whose record label, Ricecrispyhoe Records, is the rival record label of Pink Salami Records. After Pink Salami Records was shut down in 2022, Dikov ended her rivalry with Grace and joined Ricecrispyhoe Records. On January 4, 2023, she was murdered by Duncan "Spiderman" Mitchell only one day after the murder of Trip and Grace.
==Life and career==
===1997-2018: Early life and career beginnings===
Dikov was born on December 19, 1997, in New York City, New York, to Russian immigrant parents. In 2016, she participated in America's Next Top Model, and became infamous for her self-titled chant during the run time of the show. Afterwards, she signed a record deal with Pink Salami Records. In the same year, she released her debut studio album, Star Off.
===2018-2022: Rivalry with Grace===
The rivalry between Dikov and Grace began when at Grace's second concert in 2018, at which Dikov spat in Grace's gucci purse, which Grace famously responded to with the quote "That bitch spat into my Gucci purse!" This not only started a rivalry between the two artists, but also between their respective record labels, Pink Like Salami Records and Ricecrispyhoe Records. 
Dikov dated an unknown man named Thomas during this period, who broke up with her after she had an affair. Despite this, he afterwards stalked her, which led to a police investigation being launched against him by Dikov which resulted in him being imprisoned for seven years. 
===2022-2023: Fall of Pink Salami Records and end of rivalry===
In January 2022, Pink Salami Records went bankrupt and shut down. As a result, Dikov was forced to find another record label. Ricecrispyhoe Records offered to sign a record deal if she ended her rivalry with Grace. Dikov agreed to this. However, little progress was made afterwards, and Dikov was murdered 12 months later.

On January 4, 2023, YouTuber Duncan Mitchell shot Dikov in a drive-by shooting while wearing a Spiderman mask. This shooting occurred one day after the murder of Trip and Grace, which Mitchell also perpetrated. Unlike Trip and Grace who were found dead a day after their murder, Dikov was taken to a hospital within hours, but still died from her injuries at the hospital at the age of 25.
An investigation began against both Dikov's murder and Trip and Grace's murder, which eventually became People v. Mitchell. On February 2, 2023, a court ruled that Mitchell was solely responsible for both killings, and he was found guilty of murder and imprisoned for life.
