Celebrity fashion designer and entrepreneur Veekee James has sparked conversations online after sharing her reaction to a surprising request from a fan who asked her for ₦2 million to pay school fees.
In a video posted on her social media page, Veekee revealed that she received a message from a follower that read:
“Hello Veekee, can you please help me with 2m to pay my school fee?”
Clearly stunned by the request, the fashion entrepreneur questioned why some people feel comfortable asking strangers on the internet for such huge amounts of money. According to her, she is used to seeing requests for smaller sums, but ₦2 million left her speechless.
Veekee went on to reflect on her own struggles, reminding viewers that she lost her father at a young age and understands hardship firsthand. She stated:
“I am a struggling fatherless child who now has a child.”
The designer explained that despite her success today, she still has responsibilities and financial obligations of her own. She wondered why many people assume that public figures are responsible for solving their personal problems simply because they appear successful online.
Her reaction has since generated mixed responses across social media. While some users agreed that the request was excessive and reflected a growing sense of entitlement, others argued that the fan was simply seeking help in a difficult situation.
The incident has reignited debates about online begging, celebrity generosity, and the expectations many followers place on influencers and public figures.
