Celebrity fashion designer Veekee James Atere and her husband, Femi Atere, are under fire for their contrasting currency choices at a wedding.
They attended the white wedding of Veekee’s colleague, Prudent Gabriel, and gospel singer Peterson Okopi.
During the couple’s dance, Veekee and Femi joined in the celebration, a common practice in Nigerian weddings where guests spray money.
However, the video that circulated online showed Veekee spraying dollar bills on the bride, Prudent, while Femi was seen spraying N200 notes on the groom, Peterson.
This difference in currencies quickly became a hot topic on social media. Many users began to question the optics of the situation, with some commenting on the message it sends about wealth and status. The incident sparked debates about cultural practices and the significance of currency choices at celebrations.
In response to the criticism, Veekee took to social media to clarify her intentions. She explained that she had sprayed dollars as a way to celebrate her friend’s big day, emphasizing that the amount spent does not define love or friendship.
She urged people to focus on the joy of the occasion rather than the currency used, highlighting that what matters most is the love and support shared at such events.
