Popular Nigerian reality TV star and comedian, Aderombi Adedayo, widely known as DeeOne, has revealed that celebrity fashion designer Veekee James is his former partner.
The disclosure followed comments made by Veekee James about the comedian during a recent interview.
News Round The Clock reports that the designer, while speaking on Unfiltered and Extra Spicy with Ify’s Kitchen podcast, described DeeOne as an “unserious” person.
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.”
Responding to the remarks, DeeOne disclosed that he and Veekee James had previously been in a romantic relationship, describing the situation as “this one na blast from the past.”
In a video shared on his Instagram page with the caption, “Ruth, you never still move on from this our matter,” the comedian stated that “I had moved on.”

Advising the public not to take celebrity disputes personally, DeeOne explained, “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.
