Nigerian comedian, Aderombi Adedayo, better known as DeeOne, has revealed that that he had previously dated celebrity fashion designer Veekee James in the past.

DeeOne's remark comes off the back of Veekee James' comment about him. The celebrity fashion designer who was recently on the Unfiltered and Extra Spicy with Ify’s Kitchen podcast, described DeeOne as "unserious," urging the public not to take anything he says seriously.

In response, the controversial comedian, via his Instagram page, shared a video, stating that she hadn't moved on yet, while he had moved on.

He also claimed that when he left reality show Big Brother Naija in 2018, he and Veekee dated. He however, stated that he left the relationship because he didn't like to be controlled.

DeeOne further alleged that Veekee's husband Femi Atere is aware of his claims about being controlled.

Additionally, he wished the couple well in their marriage, emphasizing that he has no bad blood against her.

He said:
“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."
