Celebrity fashion designer Veekee James has stirred a wave of reactions on social media following her candid marriage advice to her sister-in-law during a bridal shower celebration.
The businesswoman who often faces criticism over her public display of affection with her husband, Femi Atere, has once again gotten on the nerves of many.
In a now-viral video, the award-winning designer was among the guests at her sister-in-law’s pre-wedding event when she took the microphone to share some personal advice from her own marriage experience.
Speaking openly, Veekee said:
“I have almost one year and six months of experience in marriage. Don’t deny your husband sex. It’s not that you are angry, you are just tired and the last thing you want is someone to touch you.
“Just lie down and open your legs for him. Not that there are some days you can’t turn him down; you will know how you’ll pet him; unless he’s a wicked person, he too will understand.”
She also cautioned her sister-in-law against making comparisons in her marriage, urging her never to compare her husband with other men.
The video, which quickly spread across platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and X (formerly Twitter), has sparked mixed reactions. While many applauded Veekee’s honesty and praised her for speaking from personal experience, others criticised her remarks as outdated and insensitive, especially regarding consent and emotional well-being.
