Nigerian fashion designer Veekee James celebrated her husband, Femi Atere, on International Men’s Day, acknowledging his support and grace in handling public scrutiny over their social media displays of affection.
In a heartfelt Instagram video posted on November 19, 2024, Veekee praised Femi for his humility and strength amid online criticism. “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 said.
Veekee expressed gratitude for Femi’s unwavering support of her career, contrasting his approach with men who feel threatened by their partner’s ambition. “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,” she added.
The tribute comes as the couple faces criticism for their public displays of affection on social media, but Veekee used the occasion to emphasize her appreciation for her husband’s steadfastness and partnership.
