Abuja (Sundiata Post) – Nigerian singer Adedamola Adefolahan, popularly known as Fireboy DML, has revealed that he has never experienced heartbreak—and he intends to keep it that way.
Speaking during a recent episode of the 90s Baby Show, the 29-year-old artiste said he once considered going through heartbreak just to understand the emotion, but later changed his mind after reflecting on past relationships and hearing stories from women he had been involved with.
“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,” he said.
Fireboy added that he conducted his own “research” by speaking with some of his former love interests. What he learned from their experiences was enough to convince him that heartbreak was not worth it.
“I did my research, I sat down with a few ladies I have been involved with and I asked them, ‘What’s heartbreak like?’ What I heard was not nice,” he said.
The ‘Playboy’ crooner also shared his thoughts on how people often play a role in their own emotional pain by ignoring red flags in relationships.
“Also, I think we break our own hearts. That is my theory. 90 per cent of the time, if you have your heartbroken, look inward, you definitely had something to do with it. Because 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,” Fireboy stated.
“We break our own hearts. That is what I think. But it’s a very painful experience. I don’t think at this age, it is something I want to be involved in,” he added.
