The Metamorphosis Of Denrele Edun: Many Faces of a 'Crazy' Man

I have always found this TV personality very fascinating. He started out as this

and ended up as this

So, what makes this very unique character tick? In this pictorial journey, I will attempt to make sense of this very colourful character called Denrele Edun.



But before we start, prior to Denrele, there was of course, Papa and Mama Edun

Pretty normal, everyday parents, right? Papa Denrele is a retired food technologist. A scientist, one would go further to say, so where on earth did Denrele get his wildness from?? Someone once commented that we should check his gene pool very well; there is probably a court jester somewhere in his ancestry. Lol.

I often reason that this young man, born Adenrele Oluwafemi Edun in June 13, 1985 represents what very few people have the nerve to vent to; that uninhibited side that we all have buried inside us.

A source mentioned that for as long as they have known him, he has always been anything but 'normal'. His  wild hair always got him into trouble with the school authorities in secondary school. They would cut it, but in a few days time boom! the hair would be all over the place, all over again.

After secondary school, there was nothing to hold him back. Slowly but surely, he began to transform to the Denrele we all know now

From this

then... cute, huh?

and unto...this

  
and he got wilder

and wilder... I must admit that he does look hot in this one. Hot in a totally... wild, cartoonish kind of way. Lmao!

wilder and wilder he  becomes

uber weird... I don't even know what to say about this picture

 I was green with envy when i saw him rocking this stilletos. I'm a lady but i can't wear heels this high!! Lmao!!! 

He has his sane moments. He is virtually unrecognisable in these photos

but then, these 'sane' episodes are temporary, because he goes back to these

he looks like Ara the female drummer here. I am not even sure Ara can rock the braids as well as he does. Lol

Some might argue that the outlandish behaviour and clothes is because he is an entertainer. The job of an entertainer is to attract attention, whether good or bad, but how many entertainers can express their wild side like Denrele Edun?

Is he just acting for the crowd, or is he really the expression of our deepest, craziest inner selves?

You be the judge.
