Media personality Denrele Edun has come under fire for saying he had sexual relations with singer Goldie Harvey before her death.
The TV host said this in a recent interview with blogger Neecee Bosslady.
Denrele said he had a few intimate moments with the deceased even though many thought their relationship platonic. He also added that there were times when they were caught up in the moment and had a few encounters in spite of her marital status.
He said: “A lot of people thought we were friends. We have a few intimate moments. I knew she was married of course. We kept that a secret.”
Following the claims, Nigerians stormed Instagram to criticise the controversial celebrity over the statement saying he should not have revealed the nature of their relationship. Others accused him of disrespecting Goldie and her memory.

“Some things should be left unsaid Denrele. Stop this nonsense. Let the dead be,” Uche_amadi wrote.
“You just want to spoil her good name idiot,” Bisi Olakunle wrote.
“Denrele why this? Why now? Yeyebrities chasing clouts all the time. Because the dead girl can’t defend herself,” Amara Raja wrote.
31-year-old Goldie, according to coroners, died of “hypertensive heart disease” on Valentine’s Day in 2013 shortly after returning from that year’s Grammy Awards in the US.
