‘He’s using Goldie to revive his dead career’ — Denrele under fire over extramarital claim

Denrele Edun, the media personality, has come under fire on social media after he revealed he had extramarital affair with Goldie Harvey, the late Nigerian songstress.

The late singer was married to Andrew Harvey, the engineer based in Malaysia.

In a now-viral clip, Denrele said he and Goldie got intimate a couple of times despite knowing she was married.

“I’ve not shared this anywhere but I can as well give the show a small exclusive. My beautiful late friend Goldie. A lot of people just thought we were friends but we did have a few intimate moments,” he had said.

“We’d had a few enter-the-corner [moments]. That was why I constantly wanted to see her make things happen.”

Denrele’s revelation has begun to elicit a wave of backlash on Twitter with many Nigerians calling him out.

“Denrele coming to tell the whole world that he slept with his late friend Goldie even while she was married shows how weird some people are. What do we need that much info for? Nothing anybody will tell me, that guy still fantasises sex with her. This one can sleep with a corpse,” a user wrote.

“I’m still checking the meaning of intimacy. Denrele is seeking relevance. His career is long dead. He’ll talk about Goldie to resucitate it. There’s a reason people prefer Bobrisky to Denrele. Its these type of his confusion,” another user wrote.

Here are what some Nigerians had to say:

I need someone to slap Denrele for me. You and your late friend were intimate even though she was married and you think that is something we should know 9 years after her death?
You kept it a secret all these years, why spill now?🤦‍♀️

Dear Denrele, your allegation that you had an extramarital affair with Goldie is disrespectful.

Of course, there were suspicions of your 'besties' shenanigans.

However, harnessing her memory, to deflect from rumours about your sexuality, is a betrayal.

Gutter behaviour. Tueh. pic.twitter.com/VmLxa05DVp

Denrele coming out to say he slept with late singer, Goldie severally was really unnecessary if you ask me.

It's only in Nigeria that they don't allow both the living and the dead rest… No rest for everybody…

Cos if not, what will it cost denrele to shut his mouth about what ever happened between him and Goldie…🤌🤌🤌

Denrele legit used his own mouth to tell us he was sleeping with the late Goldie despite her being married and I am wondering how will her husband feel,

Does she have kids if yes DNA TEST is needed.

I wonder why these beautiful Nigeria people will decide to be distracted by a lunatic like Denrele. Goldie is late now, the idiot Denrele is trying to use her to gain relevance. Don't be carried away.

Denrele slept with a married woman he was doing “bestie” with…who is now dead…no one knew, not even the husband as at the time, but the antelope has spilled this mad info because as always, attention is a drug.

What a crazy time to be alive. No respect at all.

Denrele is a fool for making such a statement in public. Calling Goldie "My beautiful late friend" and tarnishing her image.

She's not your friend, mumu

Denrele really messed up with that nonsense talk. It was absolutely unnecessary and unprovoked. No, you shouldn't do that to anybody talk less of a person you called your friend. Now, you've gotten the attention you ordered for, what do you want to do with it?

— Ridwan Oke (@Ridwanullahii) March 24, 2022

What do you stand to achieve by telling the world you once had sex with a married woman that's no longer alive? I really won't blame Denrele, we allow foolishness and foolish people to thrive in this country.

Denrele knew the controversies that surrounded Goldie death , like how her memory was trampled upon with the drug scandals, cheating, snatching someone's husband etc,when she died yet the best friend isonu (Denrele) still chose to clout chase with her.
