Nigerian media personality Denrele Edun has stirred emotions of Nollywood fans by sharing the last interaction he had with late Alexx Ekubo.
The fashion influencer via his Instagram page, disclosed that Alexx was constantly checking on his well being despite going through his own challenges.
“This is the last Voice-Note ALEXX sent me (from his sick bed). And that’s the part I’m struggling with. Because while he was carrying battles I knew nothing about, he still found the strength to reach out and comfort me. That’s who ALEXX was. 2010 I met ALEXX whilst judging the Mr Nigeria pageant. This ambitious 1st Runner-Up came to me determined to be more visible than the winner. Trust ALEX… He didn’t just get seen. He became unforgettable. Late last year, we worked together on a film in Port Harcourt. After we landed, everyone was expressing their vexation at the Production logistics and all,” he wrote.

”To the world, I was Denrele. To him, I was “Rele.” On phone calls, I was always “NNE!”. And @walenut ? Forever “Caterer Oshi.” Those silly nicknames. Those private jokes. That’s what death steals. Not just the person. But the voice that called your name differently from everyone else. Today, they lay my friend to rest. And somewhere, I choose to believe Goldie has already found him. The music is loud. The laughter is endless. And they’re both dancing #Skibobo while the rest of us stand here missing them terribly. Rest well, ALEXX. Thank you for the kindness. Thank you for the laughter. Thank you for always checking on others, even when you needed someone to check on you. P.S: It was so hard sharing this. I’ve held onto this VN since the sad announcement of his passing,” he added.
