A fresh celebrity feud has ignited online, pitting Nollywood actress Lizzy Anjorin against renowned fashion designer Veekee James. The controversy stems from comments made by James during a recent podcast appearance, which have drawn a sharp and public rebuke from Anjorin.
The Podcast Remarks That Sparked the Fire
The incident unfolded on the popular show Unfiltered & Extra Spicy. During the episode, which was published on December 16, 2025, host Toke Makinwa presented Veekee James with a provocative question. She was asked to select which celebrity, from a list of three, she believed was most likely to be arrested before the end of the year.
The options given were comedian Deeone, controversial singer Portable, and actress Lizzy Anjorin. Initially, James named social media commentator VeryDarkMan, but was prompted to choose from the provided trio.
In her response, captured in a now-viral video, Veekee James dismissed Portable from consideration. Regarding Deeone, she stated, "If you take DeeOne seriously, you are either jobless or there is a problem. I have really not seen him say something serious." When it came to Lizzy Anjorin, the fashion designer claimed she did not know who the actress was.
Lizzy Anjorin's Fiery Social Media Clapback
Lizzy Anjorin did not take long to respond. In a video shared on her social media platforms, the Yoruba movie star launched a scathing attack. She questioned when a "cooking program" became a platform for attacking individuals and expressed disbelief that Veekee James was naive enough to not recognize the segment as a setup.
Her retaliation was not limited to James. Anjorin also directed curses and abuses towards the podcast host, Toke Makinwa, and fellow actress Iyabo Ojo, reigniting a separate, long-standing conflict. This outburst has captivated fans and followers, drawing significant attention across social media platforms in Nigeria.
Public Reaction and Online Fallout
The drama has sparked a wave of reactions from netizens, with many taking sides in the dispute. Comments on the viral posts reveal a divided audience.
Some users sided with Lizzy Anjorin, criticizing the podcast's format for deliberately provoking guests. One user, egohalt, commented, "I hate it when people pinch someone to trigger them and expect them not to react... This was an intended trend!" Another, sothair_gallery, noted, "The host actually deserved whatever Lizzy says to her, cos everyone knows Lizzy will react."
Others questioned the basis of the feud, with user folasewa.adebayo.75 asking, "But Veekee James said she doesn’t know her Abi which kind wahala be this." Another commenter, itsbamitale_, pointed out an apparent contradiction, stating, "But you have been following her on ig and she still dosnt know who u are bro."
This incident also provided an opportunity for Anjorin to revisit her grievances with Iyabo Ojo. She accused Ojo of fabricating lies to destroy people's reputations and solicit donations, sharing an old video as purported evidence of Ojo's inconsistency.
The clash between Lizzy Anjorin and Veekee James underscores the volatile nature of celebrity interactions in the age of viral media and podcasts designed for maximum engagement. It remains to be seen whether this war of words will escalate further or subside as the next online drama takes center stage.
