Fashion designer Veekee James has opened up about the types of friendships she considers acceptable within her marriage.
She made the statement during a conversation on the Off the Top podcast with VJ Adams.
The Lagos-based designer said her husband, Femi Atere, cannot keep a female best friend because she feels she should be the closest woman to him.
She explained that this rule works for their home and helps them maintain peace.
She said: “Femi Atere can never have a female best friend, even if he does I’ll occupy it with all of herself and her body alone.”
She also spoke about past online drama, saying that she once faced harsh comments that she took Femi from someone.
According to her, the online buzz affected her mental health at the time, but she was able to move on.
“My husband can never have a female best friend. My brother can have bestie if his wife allows it but my husband can never have a female bestie”
