Nigerian music star Adedamola Adefolahan, popularly known as Fireboy DML, has revealed that he has never experienced heartbreak and is in no rush to go through the emotional turmoil that comes with it.
Speaking during a recent appearance on the 90s Baby Show, the ‘Playboy’ crooner opened up about his perspective on heartbreak, saying he once considered going through it just for the experience.
“I have never had my heart broken. I wanted to experience heartbreak but I didn’t want anymore. Not at this age. I think it would ruin me,” the 29-year-old singer said.
According to Fireboy, he took a proactive approach by having conversations with a few women he had previously been romantically involved with, seeking to understand what heartbreak truly felt like.
“What I heard was not nice. Also, I think we break our own hearts. That is my theory. Ninety per cent of the time, if you have your heart broken, look inward—you definitely had something to do with it,” he added.
Fireboy suggested that most heartbreaks result from people ignoring red flags and gut instincts in the early stages of relationships.
“There were some points when you saw the signs, there were sometimes when your instincts tell you that you shouldn’t involve yourself in some relationships, but then the heart wants what it wants,” he said.
He concluded that heartbreak is a “very painful experience” and one he isn’t willing to risk at this point in his life.
