Goldie And I Were Supposed To Dazzle Africa At The First Ever #AMVCA – Denrel
Channel O’s Denrele Edun is set to host the first ever Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards on Saturday, March 9. Red carpets belongs to Denrele, he handles red carpet sessions well, but Saturday’s session will be different; he is missing a true friend who he’d have loved to have with him on this day.
For a lesser man, we’ll watch him make many mistakes on the red carpet; say something wrong to a star, ask irrelevant questions, or even start a fight off camera-that’s how hard it is to lose a friend, a very close one. But if there is anything I know about Denrele, it is handling pressure well. The emotional pressure won’t weigh him down, rather he’d be as energetic and eccentric as ever.
