The skit maker went on to wish Veekee success, peace, and prosperity as she marked this milestone age, emphasizing his desire for reconciliation.
“On this special day, I wish we make peace and let go of the past as we grow in grace. I wish above all things that you prosper and be in good health of body and mind. I pray for the peace of the Lord to dwell in your home forever. Just know I’m not your enemy; the devil is. Happy 3rd floor, Veekee,” Deacon Famous added.
The apology comes after months of speculation and discussions surrounding his previous comments about Veekee James’ lavish wedding to gospel singer Femi Atere, which attracted widespread attention and admiration across social media.
Fans and followers have since taken to various platforms to react, with many applauding the comedian’s humility and willingness to mend fences, while others praised Veekee James for maintaining her grace and silence throughout the controversy.
