Gianluca Gazzoli’s famous podcast “Passa dal BSMT” is back, and his first guest is none other than Damiano David, the frontman of the world-famous Italian band, Maneskin. The singer, who recently won at the Video Music Awards with his group, granted a lengthy interview to the host, in which he also revealed several details about his personal life. Damiano, in fact, spoke again about his relationship with Giorgia Soleri. After a six-year-long story, the couple announced their breakup about three months ago. The announcement was somewhat forced, as it was preceded by a viral video of the rockstar kissing another girl in a nightclub.
Initially, it was believed that Damiano had cheated on Giorgia, as the news of their separation had not yet been made public. After the video went viral, both of them took to their respective social media accounts, stating that they had actually broken up several days earlier and emphasizing that theirs had always been an open relationship. Nevertheless, the Maneskin frontman talked about this incident and how he tries to handle the constant invasion of privacy that often occurs in his life:
“For many years, I hid while trying to control everything, but then I realized it’s just stressful and some things can’t be controlled. At the same time, I am convinced that there is a private sphere that should remain as such. I don’t understand how someone can think of taking out their phone and making a video of me kissing another girl. Keep it to yourself and do whatever you want with it, but don’t publish it. Why do you publish it? Because you want your moment of fame, but you have to do it at my expense. I know who published it, I even wrote to them and told them I will sue.”
Afterwards, Damiano spoke about his ex-girlfriend, speaking very highly of her. The two started dating before the singer’s breakthrough, and for the first few years, they kept their relationship secret. After Sanremo and their victory at Eurovision, Maneskin’s career exploded worldwide, and Damiano confessed that he managed to stay on the right track thanks to Giorgia Soleri. Having a girlfriend like her by his side helped the 24-year-old handle all the madness he was experiencing during that period. That is why, despite everything, Giorgia will always remain a very important part of his life:
“She taught me so many things. She was a fundamental part. I think things would have turned out very differently if I had been single; I probably would have died, I say it openly and have always said it. I would have gotten myself killed in some horrible way at 21, and yet here I am at 24.”
Lastly, Damiano also talked about how he deals with the flood of criticism he receives every day. The singer mentioned that he has been accused of everything, including bestiality, and that there are still people who heavily insult him just for cutting his hair. Fortunately, the Maneskin frontman stated that he has become “immune” to the haters and has learned to live his life without paying any attention to certain comments.
