Denrele Edun Crawled so Other Nigerian Crossdressers Could Fly

 

Over the past couple of years, there has been a rise in the number of cross-dressers in Nigeria.

Cross-dressing is the act of wearing items of clothing commonly associated with the opposite sex. Some people relate cross-dressing to transgender and gays, although some people cross-dress for fun, shows and to entertain.

 

Cross dressing was alien to most Nigerians until the OAP and entertainer Denrele burst on to the scene with his wild Afro hair, platform shoes and flamboyant feminine outfits.

 

In recent weeks, the social media space in Nigeria has been flooded with images of young and middle-aged men dressing and acting like women.

 

While over the years Denrele Edun was the posterboy for individuals in this category, a handful of others, desperate to make names for themselves, have emerged on the scene these days by leveraging on the power of the technology (Social Media).

 

Social media has also catapulted the idea of cross-dressing. TV personality, Denrele Edun, remains a controversial figure because of his cross-dressing fashion.

 

Denrele’s sense of fashion looks very feminine as he is known for wearing makeup, women’s hairstyles, high heel shoes, and more.

 

Nigerians criticized him for his fashion sense, but times have changed as many people are now supportive of him and have acknowledged him for inspiring more men to cross-dress.
