Leading up to the reunion, Denrele admitted to a mix of excitement and anxiety, unsure if his family would make the two-hour journey to the resort where he was staying. His sister-in-law, Anishta Rampersad-Singh, coordinated the gathering, ensuring everyone arrived.

The moment was heavy with emotion—Dolly, described as a loving yet stern matriarch, wept uncontrollably upon seeing Denrele, a grandson she had never met. Despite their years apart, Denrele reflected on her presence as a blessing, a foundational force in his life.

Friends, including notable names like Chude Jideonwo, joined to welcome the family, adding warmth to the occasion. For Denrele, this was more than a meeting—it was a homecoming, a chance to weave himself into the fabric of his mother’s heritage.

Sharing the video on Instagram, Denrele described the meet-up as therapeutic. In his words,

“This Outing was emotional and therapeutic for me.

My GrandMa didn’t stop crying as she had NEVER set her eyes on me;

If you’re lucky, and I have been so very lucky, GRANDMA aka NANI is the ever-presence, the foundational and existential ubiquity of BEING.”
