Nigerian singer, Adedamola Adefolahan, popularly known as Fireboy DML, has opened up on how his tattoos are affecting his relationship with his father.
The 29-year-old hit maker said his dad might never forgive him for tattooing his body.
Featuring in a recent episode of the 90s Baby Show, Fireboy explained that he wears jalabiya to hide his tattoos whenever his dad visits him.
“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,” he said.
“My dad doesn’t have a problem with my piercing but these tattoos? He will never forgive me for these things.
“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.”
