Nigerian fashion designer Veekee James has clapped back at a troll criticising her appearance. The troll, commenting on James’ Instagram post, claimed that her beauty was solely due to filters and wigs.

“The problem with many of you is that you are not very smart,” she started.

She continued, “Many of you aren’t very smart because you should be very intentional about the kind of energy you give off and where you give off that energy because, whether it be negative energy or positive energy, you should be concerned about the result of the energy you give off.”

Veekee James advised the troll to focus their energy on something more productive.

She emphasized that negative comments would not affect her self-esteem. She said,

“If you come on my page and drop something that is supposed to make me feel ashamed of something that is supposed to make me feel bad, you should be ready to see that it yields results, right? Based on the fact that you know what I’m someone who feels ashamed when people say stuff about me, when people say negative things about me, then you should know that this energy your bringing is going to hit.”

“But if you know that when you keep giving some of energy and it’s not giving results, my brother, my sister, why are you wasting your time? Why waste your time where you won’t get results?” the designer added.

Veekee stated that negative comments do not bother her as much as the troll might think.

“It’s clear you’re not purpose or self-driven, who would be ashamed to come on social media with my natural face?”

She embraced her natural beauty, saying, “This is the face of someone who hasn’t slept in days and has been under the sun. This is a perfect face and a face designer by God, and skin created by the almighty. He made me in his own image I’m 100 percent. If you want to talk rubbish, go to the place where it might be appreciated… You can’t shame the shameless; I am unapologetically me.”
