Celebrity fashion designer, Veekee James Atere and her husband, Femi Atere, have become the subject of online discussions after a video surfaced showing a notable difference in the currency denominations they sprayed at a wedding ceremony. This difference, seen during the white wedding of Veekee’s colleague, Prudent Gabriel, and gospel singer Peterson Okopi, quickly caught the attention of social media users.
The couple was attending the event in support of Prudent and Peterson, and during the couple’s dance, Veekee and Femi joined in to celebrate by spraying money, a popular custom at Nigerian celebrations that symbolizes good fortune and support for the newlyweds.
As the couple danced alongside Prudent and Peterson, Veekee was seen spraying dollar bills on the bride, Prudent, while her husband, Femi, opted to spray N200 notes on the groom. This distinction in currency between the two led to a flurry of comments and critiques online, with many noting the contrast and questioning the implications behind it.
What might have been a simple celebratory gesture quickly became a topic of widespread discussion on social media, as some users interpreted the difference in currency as a reflection of power dynamics within the relationship. Others, however, brushed off the matter as trivial, arguing that the couple’s intentions were purely celebratory, regardless of the currency used.
Reaction trailing Veekee James’ dollars vs husband’s naira at party
ShumaAbdulmaliq reacted: “Why will a man agree to be a toy! Jaruma was right o.”
TheVeryOne4 noted: “Last last this marriage nah under 2.5 or handicap 1 for home.”
sparklin_looks said: “If he actually sprays dollar with her, y’all will say that Veekee gave him. Can I know the color of your problems?”
temikosoko added: “Some of these people are literally begging their partners for attention and they have probably never had the opportunity to spray anyone either naira or dollar in their life. Leave VJ alone!!!!!!”
Wendu_blessed wrote: “Why is Femi holding 200 naira notes and you are holding dollars.”
Despite the debate online, some defended the couple’s choice, noting that Femi and Veekee’s choice of currency was likely inconsequential and should not be a point of contention. Others argued that this was a reflection of individual preferences, and it shouldn’t be overanalyzed.
The incident has certainly added more attention to the couple’s public image, but it remains to be seen whether it will have any lasting impact beyond the current social media discussions.
