Nigerian fashion designer Veekee James has found herself at the center of online controversy once again after sharing what seemed like a harmless post with her husband.
On January 12, 2024, Veekee posted a video on Instagram capturing a sweet moment between her and her husband, Femi, as they exchanged kisses during a FaceTime call. While many of her followers appreciated the cute display of affection, her caption sparked a heated debate and drew mixed reactions.
The caption accompanying the video 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.”
What was intended to be a lighthearted joke struck a nerve with some social media users who interpreted the message as a dig at women’s standards for partners.
The post quickly gained traction, sparking a flurry of reactions across various platforms. Many criticized Veekee’s message, arguing that it promoted the idea of lowering one’s standards or settling for less in relationships. Some accused her of dismissing the importance of having high expectations in a partner, especially for women seeking meaningful and fulfilling relationships.
Despite the backlash, Veekee’s loyal fans came to her defense, stating that her caption was meant to be humorous and shouldn’t be taken so seriously. They argued that she was simply sharing her personal joy and encouraging people to find happiness in their own unique ways.
