Denrele Edun, an award-winning Nigerian television host and crossdresser, has raised eye brows on social media after he made a startling claim that BBNAIJA applicants sent him nudes and offers as huge as a 100million naira to help them make it to the show.
He revealed this during a recent interview with newsmen.
According to him, applicants often reach out to him because he has once spoken about helping one of his friends, the 2011 winner Karen Igho to get the application form and get on the show.
In his words, “I get a lot of n*des from people who want to go for BBNaija. I get all kinds of monetary offers.
“I have gotten N100m, N50m, N30m and I tell people go and do something reasonable with your money.
“So, let’s just say if you don’t have a Denrele in your life that can help you rediscover yourself or help you get to the next level and give you direction to help you navigate your way through life, then what are you looking for? Go and find a Denrele.
“Away from that, yes! I have been instrumental to a lot of these things. It is what it is.
“I’m at the industry’s center of gravity. Let’s just say I know people in the right places, when they ask you, tell them to come and meet me.”
“It all started when my good friend, Karen Igho got into the house and was always saying ‘na Denrele help me fill my form’.”
When he was asked if his influence got anyone into the ongoing BBNaija season 7, Denrele said he has lot of amazing people in the house and confirmed that more housemates will be joining the show.
Denrele said, “Well! I have a lot of amazing people in the house and some that are still coming in.”
The 41-year-old TV host, has received several awards including The Best TV Personality at the NEAs in New York 2011, Dynamix Award for Best Youth TV Personality 2006/2007/2008, The Future Award for Best Producer 2007.
