Nigerian fashion designer Veekee James has taken a moment on International Men’s Day to appreciate her husband, Femi Atere, amid ongoing criticism about their public displays of affection on social media.
On November 19, 2024, Veekee James published a heartfelt video message on instagram, acknowledging Femi’s exemplary character and resilience.
She said, “I want to say a thank you to my husband because I have been on social media for quite a long time, so if I’m getting by with all these things, it is enough to say, ‘She’s been there for years; she’s been doing this,’ but my husband just came on.”
“Baby, the way you’ve carried it with so much grace, I know how people say some things about you and I see you laugh it off. You carry it with so much grace and you’re such a king,” she added.
Veekee emphasizes her gratitude for Femi’s steadfast support, underscoring the importance of having a partner who fosters growth and empowerment.
She said, “I’ve seen people be with men who are threatened by goals. You are humble and you don’t let your ego get the better part of you… You see us as a team, and I’m grateful to God for you.”
Veekee James instagram tribute to her husband coincides with ongoing debate surrounding the couple’s social media activities and expressions of affection.
