A TikTok content creator has sparked an online debate after targeting Femi Atere, husband of celebrity fashion designer Veekee James, over his decision to accompany her to Priscilla Ojo's son Rakeem's first birthday party.

The content creator claimed the entrepreneur was "beginning to lose your respect as a man" by showing up to social events alongside his wife.
Pondis further argued that Priscilla Ojo and her husband, Tanzanian singer Juma Jux, are not Femi Atere's friends, insisting only Veekee James had received an invitation from her industry friend, Priscy.
The couple had attended the Lagos cowboy-themed celebration together, bringing along their infant daughter, Eliana Adeife Atere, born in May 2026.
Veekee James' take on public appearances with her husband
This is not the first time the couple's constant joint presence at public events has drawn commentary.
Veekee James, who founded her own fashion label and is also a gospel singer, previously addressed similar remarks by describing her husband as her "personal handbag," adding that their lives are completely intertwined.
Femi Atere, founder of cleaning company Mr Tidy NG, married Veekee James in 2023–2024. The couple has consistently maintained a highly visible public profile together.
