Nigerian popular media personality, Denrele Edun, opened up on events that led to the abandonment of his marriage plans with his ex, Yvonne.
He explained that he jettisoned his plans to get married when demands were made of him to change from his weird ways.
He argued that his weird ways was what was getting him his daily bread. “They
said there would be a lot of terms and conditions, that I would have to
behave a certain kind of way. I thought about it but when I was
“normal”, I didn’t have money, if I am broke how will I pay bride
price…the girl and I are still friends,” he told Guardian Life.
Denrele
also revealed that his unusual style caused him a lot of embarrassment
before he got the fame. He said that he was even banished from coming to
Church when he refused to change his ways.
“When I didn’t have
a car, conductors would push me out of the buses and they would shout
about a mad man on the loose when I was in Unilag people used to stone
me with pure water…. I remember going home to cry, it wasn’t just the
choir, they told me to stop coming to church, it was difficult,” he said.
