Nigerian celebrity designer Veekee James has opened up about her battle with depression.
In an interview with Nancy Isime, she revealed that the one time negative news hit her was when rumours made rounds online of stealing her now husband, Femi Atere, from a friend. She said the report kept her in depression, and she got to experience what being depressed meant like.
Veekee said she stayed in her room for two days crying and praying, and God came through for her. Now, she has developed a thick skin to negative comments and trolling.
“There was one that really shook me, and that was the period when we had to ask God to help us come out of it. Immediately, we came out of it; that was the end.
It was a story about how I stole his from a friend, and we were sleeping with each other, which was all lies. And it almost put me into depression. That was the first time I got to know what people who say they feel depressed felt.
I remember entering my room and not coming out for two days. I was crying and praying. The way God brought me out felt like a miracle and I kept hearing more stories which I laugh off”.
Veekee tied the knot to Femi Atere, on Saturday, February 10, 2024. As expected, the wedding attracted many celebrities like Juliana Olayode, Eniola Ajao, Osas Ighodaro, Toke Makinwa, Priscilla Ojo, Pretty Mike, and many more. The fashion designer broke the internet by using a team of 200 choir members on her wedding day.
Unfortunately, her wedding was heavily criticised by many, who believed the celebrity designer was doing too much, and Daddy Freeze told Nigerians to allow the newly married rest.
During church Thanksgiving, she revealed that he is the best man God has ever given her. She went on to state that he has brought her peace and that he is so humble. She further revealed that she had made the right choice by choosing a man like him.
