Controversial comedian Deeone has reacted after fashion entrepreneur Veekee James mentioned him during a recent cooking podcast, a comment that quickly reignited discussions across social media.
The reaction followed what many viewers interpreted as a subtle jab from Veekee James, during which she implied that intelligent people do not take the comedian seriously. Her remark sparked renewed interest in the past connection between the two public figures.
### Deeone Speaks on Their Past Relationship
Addressing the issue after the podcast clip went viral, Deeone revealed that he and Veekee James were once romantically involved shortly after his return from *Big Brother Naija* in 2018. According to him, he was surprised by her comments, as there has never been any personal conflict between them.
He explained that although their relationship ended, it was not due to hostility but rather differences in personality.
### “I Don’t Like Being Controlled”
Deeone described Veekee James as a good person but admitted that he struggled with what he perceived as controlling behaviour during their time together.
“For me personally, I don’t like being controlled. There is no bad blood between us, and it’s not like I didn’t treat her well. What I’m saying is not new. People in the industry already know, even her husband, Mr Femi James, knows,” he said.
The comedian added that being told what to do or sent on errands became a major issue in the relationship, ultimately leading to their separation.
### “I Have Moved On”
Deeone stressed that he has long moved on from the relationship and harbours no resentment toward Veekee James. He noted that he only chose to speak publicly because she mentioned his name, which brought the issue back into public conversation.
### Mixed Reactions Online
Social media reactions to Deeone’s comments have been divided. While some users defended Veekee James, praising her success, composure, and marriage, others criticized Deeone for sharing too much personal information.
However, his supporters argued that he was justified in explaining his side of the story, especially since his name was brought up publicly.
As the debate continues online, the exchange has once again highlighted how past relationships between public figures can quickly resurface and dominate social media conversations.
