Femi Atere Criticized for Supporting Wife at Party

Femi Atere, the husband of celebrity designer Veekee James, has come under fire for attending Priscilla Ojo's son Rakeem's birthday party with his wife. A TikTok content creator named Pondis criticized Atere in a video that circulated on August 31, 2026, suggesting that Atere was "beginning to lose your respect as a man" by accompanying his wife to social events.

Pondis argued that only Veekee James was invited to the event, implying that Atere's presence was unwarranted. The couple attended the cowboy-themed celebration with their infant daughter, Eliana Adeife Atere, born in May 2026.

This incident is not isolated, as their frequent joint appearances at public events have previously attracted commentary. Veekee James, who founded her own fashion label and is also a gospel singer, has referred to her husband as her "personal handbag." Despite the criticism, many online responses rejected Pondis' viewpoint, questioning why a husband supporting his wife should be seen as a loss of dignity.
