Afrobeats star Fireboy DML has revealed that he has never experienced heartbreak and he’s thankful for it.

In a recent episode of the 90s Baby Show, the 29-year-old artist revealed that while he once contemplated going through heartbreak for artistic inspiration, he ultimately decided against it after reflecting on his past relationships.​

“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 stated.

Fireboy elaborated on his perspective, suggesting that many heartbreaks are self-inflicted due to ignored red flags and gut instincts

“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.

“Also, I think we break our own hearts. That is my theory. 90 per cent of the time, if you have your heart broken, 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. 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 said
