Popular Nigerian entertainer and crossdresser, Denrele Edun, has recounted his experience with applicants of Big Brother Naija reality TV show.
Appearing in an interview on Lunch Time with Vanguard, published on Saturday, the media personality admitted to being โinstrumentalโ in the showโs proceedings.
According to him, people who want to be on the show reach out to him to help them get selected and become contestants.
He said, โI get a lot of nudes from people who want to go for BBNaija. I get all kinds of monetary offers.
โI have gotten N100m, N50m, N30m and I tell people go and do something reasonable with your money.
โSo, letโs just say if you donโt 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.
Iโm at the industryโs center of gravity. Letโs just say I know people in the right places, when they ask you, tell them to come and meet me.โ

โIt all started when my good friend, Karen Igho got into the house and was always saying โna Denrele help me fill my formโ.โ
