- Nigerian fashion designer and gospel singer Veekee James has opened up about her battle with depression after rumors surfaced accusing her of stealing her husband from a friend and being involved with others in their circle.
- In an interview with actress Nancy Isime, shared on X on August 23, 2025, Veekee described how the false accusations deeply affected her mental health, leading to two days of isolation and prayer.
- She says the experience gave her a new understanding of what depression feels like and strengthened her resolve to protect her peace and brand.
For Veekee James, the spotlight hasn’t always been kind.
The Nigerian fashion designer and gospel singer found herself at the center of a storm — not for her work, but for her marriage. Whispers turned into headlines. Rumors spread like wildfire. And suddenly, her love story was being dissected by strangers.
Accusations flew: that she had stolen her husband from a friend, that she had been involved with others in their circle. None of it, she says, was true. But the damage was done.
In a candid conversation with actress Nancy Isime, Veekee peeled back the layers of what that moment felt like. It wasn’t just gossip — it was a full-body blow to her peace, her reputation, and her mental health.
She described locking herself in her room for two days, overwhelmed by the weight of it all. No press releases. No rebuttals. Just tears, prayers, and a quiet plea to God: “If they’re lying, help me come out of this without losing everything.”
It was her first real encounter with depression — a word she’d heard before, but never truly understood until it wrapped itself around her.
Now, she’s speaking out not for sympathy, but for clarity. To remind people that behind every viral rumor is a human being trying to hold it together. That fame doesn’t make you immune to pain. And that sometimes, the strongest thing you can do is admit you were hurting.
Veekee’s story isn’t just about surviving scandal. It’s about reclaiming her voice — and reminding others that healing starts when you stop pretending you’re fine.
