Nigerian fashion designer Veekee James has once again come under fire on social media after an innocent post with her husband turned the heads of some Nigerians online.

On January 12, 2024, Veekee James posted a video to Instagram showing an adorable moment between her and her husband Femi exchanging kisses over the phone on a FaceTime call. The video, while cute was received well by most of her followers, however, her caption on the video ruffled some feathers.

The accompanying caption read, “Pov: This could be you and somebody’s son but you like your men tall and handsome with a perfect set of teeth, 100% financial responsibility impeccable dress sense, very spiritual yet with a touch of bad boyness! Ehyaaa.”

Wow so she’s telling us she settled for him n that he doesn’t have all these? This is embarrassing

Marriage blinds a lot of women. No matter how successful you are, if you’re not married, it just feels like you’re unachieved. Veekee James is such an amazing woman but the things that marriage has done to her brain is so astonishing (derogatory) I truly don’t get it.

This Veekee James post is equivalent to Solomon Buchi announcing to us that his wife is not the most beautiful or the smartest. Oh dear.

This backlash comes after the one she faced in November 2024 for participating in the social media ‘suspect challenge,’ and spilling what others called ‘intimate’ or ‘private information’ about their marriage.
