Nigerian reality TV star and comedian, Aderombi Adedayo, popularly known as DeeOne, has revealed that celebrity fashion designer Veekee James is his former romantic partner.
DeeOne made the disclosure while reacting to comments Veekee James recently made about him during an interview on Unfiltered and Extra Spicy with Ify’s Kitchen podcast, where she described the comedian as “unserious.”
“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,” she said.
Responding to the remarks, DeeOne described the situation as “a blast from the past,” revealing that they once shared a romantic relationship.
In a video posted on his Instagram page and captioned, “Ruth, you never still move on from this our matter,” the comedian insisted that he had long moved on from the relationship.
He also cautioned fans and social media users against taking celebrity issues too personally, as he shed more light on what transpired between them.
“A lot of people don’t know this, when I came out from Big Brother Naija in 2018, myself and Ruth had something. 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.
DeeOne’s revelation has since sparked conversations online, with fans weighing in on the resurfaced relationship and the exchange between both entertainment figures.
