Controversial Media personality, Denrele Edun has shared his experience with some applicants of Big Brother Naija reality TV show.

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.”
