Nigerian model and socialite, Denrele Edun, has spoken candidly about his sexuality and love life.

Featuring in a recent episode of The Moraya Show, the socialite revealed that he has been unlucky with love, stressing that his partners often don’t reciprocate his commitment.

“I have not really been lucky with love. People like us who have so much love to give to the world, we don’t really get it back in return. So, I have found it in different people and places, and I have realised that let me just love myself at this point.

“All my special attachments did not come out the way I would have loved it to. I have just realised that it is better I love myself,” he said.

Edun insisted that he is not the cause of his relationship misfortunes. “I am the easiest person to love. I have so much love to give,” he said.

“Recently, I was in a relationship with someone and I realised that once I make effort, people give excuses. That is what is happening in my love life all the while. While I’m give clarity, they are giving me confusion. I will show commitment and they would not reciprocate. So, I realised that this is just a convenient to the person,” he added.

Ballon d’Or: ‘I don’t like it’ – Leboeuf gives only reason Mbappe, Haaland won’t award this year

France legend, Frank Leboeuf has said that Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland may not win the Ballon d’Or this year because the award is not given to the best player.

The former Chelsea star thinks Mbappe is right in the position to win the individual award this season if it is rightly awarded, citing his great performances for club and country.

Leboeuf said that it is not handed to the best player every year.

He told Goal, “I don’t like the Ballon d’Or, because for me it doesn’t mean anything. It’s not the best player.

“The Ballon d’Or is supposedly for the best player in the world. I really want Mbappe to win the Ballon d’Or because he is an incredible player.

“But, nowadays, the main players are those that are winning. It’s going to be hard for Kylian Mbappe and for Erling Haaland.

“They have to really go for it because next season or the season after, it is going to be done.”

Mbappe finished seventh in the Ballon d’Or race in 2025, one place lower than his 2024 rank.

His best finish in the race remains the 2023 edition, when he was third behind Inter Miami captain, Lionel Messi and Manchester City star, Erling Haaland.

Ballon d’Or: ‘He’s already ahead of everyone’ – Sagna names player to win award

Former Arsenal player, Bacary Sagna is confident Real Madrid’s Kylian Mbappe will win the Ballon d’Or this year.

Sagna hailed the individual performance of his countryman, saying that the only thing that could prevent him from doing well is a bad performance at the FIFA World Cup.

Sagna told Goal that he believes Mbappe will win the Ballon d’Or this year.

He doesn’t think any other player is as good as the Frenchman has been this season, and he believes that the good form will keep going into the World Cup next summer.

He said, “He will win it. I believe this is the right time for him to win it this year. I believe the World Cup will be a great event with the French national team participating.

“I believe he will do well in the Champions League with Real Madrid. On a personal level, he is already in a good position because he is doing well and is in first place.

“Unless he has a really bad World Cup, which I don’t think will happen, I believe he will win the Ballon d’Or this year.”

Mbappe has been playing very well this season, scoring 38 goals for his club and country.

He has scored 11 goals in the UEFA Champions League this season and is just one goal away from surpassing Cristiano Ronaldo’s record for the most goals in the group stage.

Kanye West tenders public apology, blames brain injury for anti-semitic outbursts

Famous American singer, Kanye West, has again made a public apology over his anti-Semitic rants.

The apology titled “To Those I have Hurt”, was published in the Wall Street Journal’s print edition on Monday.

Also, the singer attributed his outburst to brain injury he sustained when involved in a car accident two and half decades ago.

The apology, signed by Kanye West, indicated that the publication was ‘Paid for by Yeezy’, Daily Mail reports.

“25 years ago, I was in a car accident that broke my jaw and caused injury to the right frontal lobe of my brain. No comprehensive scans were done as at the time, neurological exam were limited. The possibility of frontal-lobe injury was never raised. It was properly diagnosed in 2023. That medical oversight caused serious damage to my mental health, leading to my bipolar type-1 diagnosis”, he said.

DAILY POST reports that the development came nearly three years after a Jewish organisation, StopAntisemitism rejected Kanye West’s first apology.
