Fashion designer, Veekee James has explained why she does not see herself abandoning fashion designing for content creation, saying she believes her fashion brand has far greater long-term financial potential.

Speaking in an interview, the renowned designer said she envisions a future where a single dress from her brand could sell for as much as $100,000 or more, making fashion a career she is unwilling to walk away from.

According to her, “I don’t know the content creation that can make me stop fashion designing. I don’t know the kind of money I would see. In the next five years, I see myself making one dress for $100,000, if not more. Just one dress.

“Maybe a content creation deal could pay me $500,000, but that might be a one-year contract. The amount I can make from one, two, three, or five dresses wouldn’t even take that long to achieve.

“Fashion designing is my foundation; it’s my baby. It’s not something I joke about. Unless I see that I’m losing focus on God’s purpose for my life, I won’t abandon it simply because there’s money elsewhere.”

Veekee added that while she is open to lucrative brand partnerships and content creation opportunities, fashion remains her first love and the core of her identity as a creative entrepreneur.

“It’s the little things that piss me. have you asked them how they met? You all are just eating and drinking.

“Manny, you said you wanted to dump music and go back to Jesus and Christianity? If you had quit music, would you and your wife have met? I have given myself thanks because this wedding would not have happened if you gave up music and went to the church clapping and praising the sky,” he said.

Former Big Brother Naija housemate Kess Adjekpovu has opened up on the realities of life after the popular reality TV show, saying participation in the competition often comes with greater challenges than many people imagine.

According to Kess, leaving the BBNaija house exposes contestants to a more difficult phase of life, regardless of whether they emerge winners.

In a recent post shared online, the reality star stated that the competition does not end when housemates leave the show, noting that ex-contestants are forced to navigate intense pressure and rivalry in the outside world.

“Big Brother makes your life harder. Competition inside and outside the show.

“Winner or not, the moment you leave that house, you’re dealing with a version of life that is far more complicated than the one you left behind,” he said.

Kess explained that many people view the reality show as a shortcut to fame and success without understanding the demands that come with public attention and expectations after the programme.

The former reality star’s comments come amid recent advice from some of his fellow reality stars, who have urged ex-BBNaija housemates to move beyond the fame of the show, embrace hard work and stop depending solely on their BBNaija popularity for survival.

Big Brother Naija Season 7 winner, Phyna, has reacted to comments by fellow reality TV star Tochi, who recently advised former housemates struggling financially to stop relying on their celebrity status and focus on making a living beyond the fame that comes with the show.
