Denrele Edun Addresses Online Comment Linking His Comeback to Bobrisky's Departure

Media personality Denrele Edun has publicly addressed a comment made by an X user, who suggested that Denrele has made a comeback following the departure of crossdresser Bobrisky from Nigeria.

The interaction began when Denrele shared a video on his X account showcasing himself in a red dress. In the accompanying post, Denrele reflected on societal expectations of masculinity, stating that while masculinity urged him to diminish himself, femininity encouraged him to flourish, and he chose the latter. He also took the opportunity to celebrate women on International Women's Day.

A user on X responded to Denrele's video with the comment: "Bobrisky don leave Naija. Old taker don resurrect." The term "old taker" is often used colloquially and can carry negative connotations.

Denrele subsequently replied to this comment, offering his perspective on the user's assertion. The exchange highlights ongoing public discussion around gender expression and the visibility of figures like Denrele and Bobrisky within Nigerian popular culture.

Images accompanying the original report show Denrele in various outfits and also screenshots of the social media exchange.
