Popular Nigerian celebrity fashion designer, Veekee James, has revealed how she once asked her husband, Femi Atere, to stay with her in the bathroom while she used the toilet as an unusual way of testing his love.
The award-winning designer, who described herself as a drama queen, explained that she wanted to know whether her husband could accept every aspect of her personality, including moments that might ordinarily be considered uncomfortable.
According to Daily Post, Veekee made the revelation during an interview captured in a video circulating on social media on Wednesday, November 11, 2026.
