Denrele says wedding announcement is no stunt

The industry was taken by surprise at the news of Denrele's proposed wedding last year. He has now moved to quell rumours that it was all a media stunt.
After the initial surprise wore off, it was expected that the proposed wedding would have taken place already. However, Denrele remains unmarried and rumours seem confirmed that he only used the information to get attention for himself.

In a recent chat with Saturday Beats, though, the entertainer said his wedding plan was not a hoax.

“I will still get married, honestly, I was supposed to get married last year and I did not plan to publicise the whole affair," he started.

"I intended to tell people few days to the day of the wedding so that they would come and find out who I was getting married to. But somehow, the news leaked and there was too much media hype around it.
“At a point, it began to look as if I fabricated the story to be in the news but it was the real deal for me. I am trying to pursue the matter but I am not going to say when it would happen. When it is time, people would get the invite but I would not blab. I am going to get married in Nigeria because I have realised over time that I am loved by all. I would not do a strictly VIP crowd because I would invite everybody who is interested in coming, they should come and watch me get married.”
He refused to give out the identity of the bride, but was open enough to reveal that she is not a media person.
“My fiancĂ©e is not in the entertainment industry. She used to be in the industry but quit because she could not come to terms with the industry so she decided to do a regular 9-5 job. Relationship is all about communication, if anyone tries to change who I am, I would send the person back to her family house and collect my bride price back. It cannot happen because at the end of the day, we would be hungry at home and start looking at ourselves. Marriage would not change me. I know that there is that factor of staying true to one person which I am working on. I am getting there,” he said.
