A fresh celebrity feud has ignited on social media, pitting Nollywood actress Lizzy Anjorin against renowned fashion designer Victoria James Atere, popularly known as Veekee James. The drama stems from comments made by Veekee James during an episode of the show Unfiltered & Extra Spicy, which aired recently.
The Spark: A Controversial Segment on 'Unfiltered & Extra Spicy'
The controversy began when Veekee James, a guest on the show, was presented with a provocative question. The host asked her to select which celebrity, from a list of three, was most likely to be arrested before the end of the year. The options provided were musician Portable, comedian Deeone, and actress Lizzy Anjorin.
Initially, Veekee James mentioned social media commentator VeryDarkMan as a potential candidate for arrest. However, when pressed to choose from the given trio, she offered her candid opinions. Regarding Portable, she ruled him out. For comedian Deeone, she dismissed his seriousness, stating, "If you take DeeOne seriously, you are either jobless or there is a problem. I have really not seen him say something serious."
The comment that lit the fuse, however, was about Lizzy Anjorin. When her name came up, the fashion designer bluntly stated that she did not know who Lizzy Anjorin was. This remark, captured in a video that quickly went viral, did not sit well with the Yoruba movie star.
Lizzy Anjorin's Fiery Clapback
Lizzy Anjorin did not take long to respond. In a now-viral video of her own, the actress launched a scathing attack on Veekee James and the show's host. She expressed bewilderment that a cooking program had turned into a platform for personal attacks.
Anjorin accused Veekee James of naivety for not recognizing the segment as a setup designed to generate controversy. Her response was filled with strong words, curses, and abuses directed at both the designer and the host of the show. She made it clear she was deeply offended by being listed as a candidate for arrest and by the claim that she was unknown to the fashion designer.
Social Media Erupts with Mixed Reactions
The online spat has triggered a flood of reactions from Nigerian netizens, with opinions sharply divided. While some found humor in the exchange, others criticized the nature of the show's content and Lizzy's response.
One user, motumi444, commented, "I was patiently waiting for her response guess what here she goes." Another, folasewa.adebayo.75, questioned, "But veekee James said she doesn’t know her Abi which kind wahala be this."
Some users pointed out perceived inconsistencies. User itsbamitale_ noted, "But you have been following her on ig and she still dosnt know who u are bro." Meanwhile, odunayoolalandu suggested a possible hidden motive, recalling that Veekee James designed a wedding dress for fellow actress Priscilla Ojo, who has had public disputes with Anjorin.
Other commentators blamed the show's format. User egohalt argued, "I hate it when people pinch someone to trigger them and expect them not to react. Did that show host know that Lizzy will respond, yes! All na content and trending right?"
This incident is not Lizzy Anjorin's first public confrontation. Legit.ng had previously reported that the actress has also been engaged in a long-running feud with colleague Iyabo Ojo, whom she has accused of spreading lies to solicit public sympathy and donations.
The clash between Lizzy Anjorin and Veekee James, which erupted on December 16, 2025, continues to dominate entertainment gossip circles, showcasing how quickly off-hand remarks on television can spiral into major social media wars.
