Reality TV star, Vee Iye weighs in on the online buzz surrounding designer Veekee James and her participation in the trending ‘suspect challenge‘ with her husband, Femi Atere.
The ‘suspect challenge,’ which involves sharing playful and often exaggerated accounts about significant others, has gained traction on social media.
However, Veekee James and her husband’s version sparked mixed reactions, with some accusing her of oversharing.
In a TikTok video, Vee addressed the controversy, acknowledging that while the content might not suit her personal preferences, she respected Veekee’s decision to engage with her audience creatively.
Vee urged netizens to approach such content with an open mind while respecting individual creative expressions.
Vee Iye’s take on Veekee James ‘Suspect Challenge’
“When I first saw this suspect challenge, I knew it’d be a problem because not everyone can take opinions very well and also because I’ve always seen social media as a double-edged sword. You can control the content you put out there but you cannot control the opinions that would come out of the content you create.”
“Veekee James has put out her own suspect challenge with her husband and they have both shared opinions of themselves, which are a bit private. While it may not be my own cup of tea, I do understand that Veekee James has been a content creator for a while, and I’m sure she has her own team who put the content together; they watched and edited the videos. So they know what they’re doing basically.”
“I need to put it out there that if her intention is to get people talking about her, she’s doing a great job. But I don’t understand why people get so riled up when they are discussing Veekee James and the content that she makes. At the end of the day, it’s her cross to carry; social media comes with a lot of discernment and so far she believes what she’s putting out there makes sense to her; there’s not much we can do about it.”
