Femi Atere, husband of celebrity fashion designer Veekee James, has come under criticism online after a TikTok creator questioned his decision to accompany his wife to a social event in Lagos.
The controversy began after Atere attended the first birthday celebration of Rakeem, the son of actress Priscilla Ojo and Tanzanian singer Juma Jux, alongside Veekee James and their daughter.

A TikTok creator identified as Pondis criticised Atere in a video that circulated on social media on August 31, questioning why he accompanied his wife to the event.
The creator argued that Veekee, rather than her husband, was the person invited to the gathering and claimed that Atere was “beginning to lose” respect as a man by following his wife to social events.
The remarks quickly triggered reactions from social media users, with many rejecting the criticism and defending Atere’s decision to support his wife publicly.

Some commenters argued that there was nothing unusual about a husband attending an event with his wife, while others questioned why his presence at the celebration had become a subject of public concern.
The latest controversy adds to the attention surrounding the couple, who frequently appear together at public events.
Veekee had previously described her husband as her “personal handbag” while addressing similar comments about their constant public appearances together.
