Nigerian fashion designer Veekee James is facing backlash after posting a heartwarming video with her husband, Femi, on Instagram accompanied by a controversial caption that has sparked widespread debate.
On Monday, Veekee shared a clip of a FaceTime call with her husband, capturing the couple exchanging sweet kisses over the phone. While many fans enjoyed the moment, it was the caption that ignited mixed reactions online.
Her caption read: “POV: This could be you and somebody’s son, but you like your men tall, handsome, with perfect teeth, 100% financial responsibility, impeccable fashion sense, very spiritual yet with a touch of bad boy vibes! Ehyaaa.”
The post quickly garnered attention, with some criticizing Veekee for promoting the idea that women should lower their relationship standards.
One follower, amandachisom_, commented, “If they remind you that flushing the toilet is a reasonable standard, you go vex. And a man we don’t have to be the man for you, go vex.”
lala_george22 asked, “So is she saying her husband doesn’t have all these qualities, or is she encouraging people to look beyond the checklist and appreciate what really matters? Hmm 🤔 Veekee, try to let single people be this year.”
titiogebeadsnbeauty weighed in, “As long as there is nothing wrong with setting standards, just be realistic 😂 That’s the main point of this post. It’s saying no one is perfect—everyone will have something missing, but if it’s manageable, no issues.”
Others, like purple_emoji_, took a different stance, saying, “This was unnecessary tbh… Enjoy your marriage and leave single ladies alone. They didn’t cry to you!”
However, iam_gabrielle defended Veekee, stating, “Some of you in the comments lack comprehension. She’s just listing the qualities women often look for in men, and saying that some things matter more than others. Last I checked, her husband is tall and handsome. Please, receive sense!”
The post continues to stir conversation, with many weighing in on the balance between maintaining standards and finding what truly matters in a relationship.
