“She’s the man in the relationship” Reactions as Veekee James sprays wads of cash on her husband During Their Traditional Wedding, and Everyone Is Talking About It

Some write personal vows.

Some surprise each other with gifts.

Others create unforgettable dance-floor moments like this one.

There was no shortage of beautiful moments at Veekee James and Femi Atere's traditional wedding, but one playful gesture ended up stealing the spotlight.

As the couple danced to the music, Veekee pulled out bundles of cash and happily sprayed her husband while guests cheered them on. Femi couldn't stop smiling, and the joy between them was impossible to miss.

It didn't take long before videos of the moment flooded social media, with many fans affectionately calling the celebrity designer "a baller."

Spraying money at Nigerian weddings isn't unusual.

Seeing the bride confidently spray the groom is.

We're used to watching grooms, friends or family members shower the bride with cash on the dance floor. Veekee simply flipped the script, and that's exactly why people couldn't stop talking about it.

Some people loved it.

Others were surprised.

But almost everyone had an opinion.

More Than Just Money

Here's what I found interesting.

The conversation quickly moved beyond the cash.

People started talking about marriage, gender roles and whether couples today are becoming more comfortable creating their own traditions instead of following every unwritten rule.

To me, the moment felt less like a statement and more like two people genuinely enjoying themselves.

There didn't seem to be a need to prove anything.

It was simply Veekee celebrating the man she had just married.

One thing that's becoming increasingly clear is that modern Nigerian weddings are evolving.

Couples still honour tradition, but they're also making room for moments that reflect their personalities.

That's part of what makes today's weddings so memorable—they feel less like performances and more like a reflection of the couple themselves.

It was how one joyful moment became a conversation about the changing face of marriage in Nigeria.

Maybe that's because weddings are no longer just about tradition.

They're also about telling your own love story.

What do you think? If you were getting married, would you stick to tradition, or would you add your own personal twist to the celebration?

Veekee James has received a lot of reactions thanks to her very high-profile wedding.

Following a viral video of herself spreading wads of naira notes knots on her husband, netizens could not help but react at how unusual it looked to see a woman spraying money on her husband on her wedding day.

Some netizens took to expressing that she was the man in the relationship, hence why she felt comfortable enough to do that.

 Chike had knocked Veekee James over her dramatic wedding. He had told her to “rest,” and also had received a lot of backlash from netizens for his statement.

In February 1, Veekee James, who had tied the knots legally with her husband, had prayed over the singles, as she revealed that for the single pringles, the Lord will do their own for them.
