Popular Nigerian reality TV star and comedian Aderombi Adedayo, popularly known as DeeOne, has revealed that celebrity fashion designer Veekee James is his former partner.

DeeOne made this revelation following Veekee James’s remarks about him.

The fashion designer had during a recent interview on Unfiltered and Extra Spicy with Ify’s Kitchen podcast, tagged the comedian an “unserious” fellow.

She said “For someone like DeeOne, if you are a smart person, you will know that you cannot take him seriously. If you take him seriously then you are either jobless or something else. I have really not seen him say something serious.”

However, reacting to Veekee’s controversial remarks, DeeOne, who revealed they once had a romantic relationship in the past, noted that “this one na blast from the past.”

Speaking in a video captioned “Ruth, you never still move on from this our matter” on his Instagram page, the comedian stated that “I had moved on.”

Correct babe oo, sweet , she’s good. That’s the truth of the matter. Personally, I don’t like people controlling me. For me there’s no bad blood and it’s not that I didn’t treat her well.

“Some people in the industry know about what I’m saying. Even the husband Mr Femi James knows. I don’t just like when people are controlling or sending me message too much. She fit dey sewing like this and said help me do this, please can you buy this for me, the delivery is outside. And I was like what’s going on? Na boyfriend I be, I no be house help.

“But to be honest, I wish them the best. I’m a fan of whatever they are doing because I’m not a hater and I have moved on. So, I don’t know where this remark is coming from but if you dey vex maybe there’s something that you feel I have done and I don’t know, I’m sorry.

“But from me oo, it’s all love. My people, don’t take all this thing personal. E get things for the entertainment industry that you people don’t know about, and the reason I’m saying this is because she’s the one that talks negatively about me”, he said.
