A recent video of renowned Nigerian celebrity stylist, Veekee James, dancing with her father-in-law at a public event has stirred intense backlash and mixed reactions across various social media platforms.
The fashion icon, who has been in the spotlight ever since her glamorous wedding to Femi Atere, is once again making headlines—not for her designs, but for what many consider a controversial moment captured on camera.
In the now-viral footage, Veekee James is seen elegantly dressed in a stunning white gown, while her father-in-law dons a sleek and stylish suit. The pair dance together joyfully during what appears to be a celebratory gathering.

However, the moment that has sparked criticism is when Veekee appears to twerk playfully while dancing with her father-in-law. This act, although done in a spirit of fun and bonding, has been perceived by many as inappropriate given the relationship dynamic.
Critics argue that such a dance style should be reserved for more intimate partners and not shared with in-laws. Others, however, believe the reaction is blown out of proportion and defend her right to express joy in her own unique way.
It’s not the first time Veekee James has drawn public scrutiny over her expressions of affection. Many have previously questioned the bold and romantic nature of her public displays with her husband. Nonetheless, she continues to live unapologetically and confidently.
