Kiekie and Veekee James have found themselves at the centre of a social media storm after footage from Nollywood couple Lateef Adedimeji and Mo Bimpe's triplets' thanksgiving party in Lagos went viral.
The incident, which occurred on Wednesday, August 12, 2026, showed the popular skit maker and the fashion designer exchanging warm greetings with each other while Olori Ashley Afolasade Ojaja-Ogunwusi, queen to the Ooni of Ife, was seated directly between them.

The post, shared on Instagram by @goldmynevibes captured attention as social media users weighed in on the behaviour.
Many Nigerians felt the moment crossed a clear line of cultural etiquette, arguing that greeting across or over a seated royal figure is considered deeply disrespectful in Yoruba tradition.
What caught others' attention, though, was how composed Olori Ashley remained throughout the exchange.
Neither Kiekie nor Veekee James had publicly addressed the criticism at the time the post was circulating widely online.
