“Till death didn’t do us part. So I married myself. After 45 years of chaos, glitter, survival, reinvention, controversy, resilience, heartbreak and triumph, I remain the greatest love story I’ve ever known,” he wrote.
He said the symbolic union was a way of honouring himself as the constant figure throughout his life’s highs and lows.
According to him, the gesture represented acceptance of every version of himself that endured life’s challenges.
“I am the bride and the groom. And I am marrying every version of myself that fought to get here. Today, I marry the only person who never left my side: ME!” he declared.
Known for his flamboyant fashion sense and eccentric public persona, Denrele concluded the post with a signature flourish.
“The Bride. The Groom. The Happily Ever After.”
