Expressing his love for tattoos, Fireboy said he would still have gotten a tattoo if he were not an artist.
He explained that tattoos are an art that allows him to step out dressed in a singlet and still have a presence.
Fireboy said,
“One thing that I would do that can break my dad’s heart? I think I already did; my tattoos. Whenever he comes to visit me, I’m always on jalabiya, fully covered. Because tattoos, they break his heart every time he sees them.
“My dad doesn’t have a problem with my piercing but these tattoos? He will never forgive me for these things.o
“But even if I had ended up as a banker, I would still have still had tattoos. It is not even about being an artist for me, I’m just that kind person. I see it as an art. Because sometimes, I want to be shirtless and still look like I am dressed up. I want to wear a singlet and stop into a place and still have a presence. That is what tattoos are to me.”
Fireboy DML, has opened up on his experience going on a date with legendary American pop star Madonna.
The 29-year-old singer described Madonna, 66, as a “crazy woman,” hinting at the fun they had together during their date.
Madonna featured Fireboy in a remix of her 1998 classic, ‘Frozen’ in 2022. They also shot a video for the song in the United States.
Fireboy said,
“Madonna took me on a date, she paid for the bills. I offered but… It’s Madonna, mehn. Allowed!
The things that we discussed on that date, the dynamics were different. It was refreshing for me. I was able to see things from a different perspective like, ‘Okay, so that’s what it feels like to be taken out on a date?’
I can’t discuss all the details for not so obvious reasons. But, it was very crazy. She is a crazy woman.”
