He admitted that name tag was an effort to present himself as an artist and a person letting down his guard and coming out of his shell.
“I want to put out a disclaimer that it’s not the kind of playboy you think, or what everybody thinks… not a playboy that breaks your heart, this is just a young man that is starting to come out of his shell to play, express himself, have fun, to experience life, to step into his superstar element.” Fireboy said about the choice to call his album ‘Playboy’.
