Denrele Edun who just turned 31 talked to the Nigerian Tribune about gay allegations and dating ladies..He also denied bleaching and talked about his scandal with Charly boy..Ladies would be happy because he is actually single and searching...
"I am not dating anybody for now. I
am single and searching.Eh! My people, make una come put ring o! My
mother has been mounting pressure. My father has been telling me. My
uncle, my grandmother, everyone wan make I marry.I think when that time
comes, I will marry. I have been into many relationships. I have dated
girls who would want to do anything I tell them. I want a woman who can
hold her own. I don’t want a woman who cannot make dialogue with me. I
don’t want a woman who will want to change me because she should already
know who Denrele is. I don’t want to hear, “my father said you cannot
dress like that” I will be like, “Oya, come and carry your witch and go.
And return me my bride price before you go”. I want a woman who is not
pretentious, hypocritical or a fame seeker. I want someone who is
original. I want somebody I can go to the salon together (with) to make
our hair; who wouldn’t mind if people are talking. I love a woman that
can wear heels. It may sound flimsy. I love girls on heels. This is why I have always had a thing for models. If my wife cannot wear heels...
Here you are talking about marriage, while people have described you as gay. What do you have to say?
I’m aware of it. In fact, a lot of
people have come with different terminologies for my sexual preference.
They have labelled me homosexual, heterosexual. Some have said I am
bi-sexual, asexual. I think I am a sexual outlaw; that is the best way to describe it. Am I gay? I am a sexual outlaw. Gbam!
What does that mean?
I don’t know. I don’t even know what
my sexual preference is. The media have blown my sexuality out of
proportion. Maybe it is because I am feminine in nature, or because I
look like my mother or because of the way I dress. My clothes are the
reflection of my personality, but people use it to judge my sexual
preference. And if people want to continually judge me because of my
dressing, they should go ahead.
Does it mean you are not gay?
People can say what they like. You
know, this can be a mystery. If people keep pondering on it, it will
remain a mystery. If I give the answer now, una no go dey wonder about
anything. Make una dey ponder dey go.
Are you using this to keep the attention on yourself?
Not quite; it’s just for the fun of
it, really. I am not one of those people who would want to deliberate on
people’s sexual preference. I really cannot be bothered about things
like that. But it is so funny how people have made a big deal out of
it. It’s not about attention. Otherwise, I would have been suing this or
that newspaper for saying this or that thing about me. I really can’t
be bothered.
What is the worst thing that has happened to you for being who you are?
I think it is the scandals. And I can
handle scandals well but people have fabricated so much about me. They
say I have a child somewhere that I have abandoned. They say I am
bleaching my skin – that is even the one they are using to chase me up
and down. If only people can see me when I wake up in the morning, then
they will know whether I am bleaching on not.
Would you like to clear the air on that?Of recent, I discovered my love for powder. I normally like to wear the one that is lighter than me, so anytime I use this powder and my face becomes fairer, people will begin to say I am bleaching. Someone recently said to me on Twitter: ‘Denrele has bleached his destiny away’. Another said, ‘Denrele is looking like Michael Jackson in his time of death’. Somebody said, ‘Denrele looks like the remains of a ghastly car crash’. This is the one that will trip you. The person said, ‘Denrele looks like the spirit behind this recent fuel scarcity’. I thought that was a classic one. I have received a lot from people, especially during the period I went through the Charly Boy/Denrele saga. They said I kissed Charly Boy and I was trying to cause problems in his matrimonial home. Nigerians took it upon themselves to judge the freaking daylight out of me. They tried to pull me down at any opportunity they could get. But for where? Nothing can put me down
