favorite artist, Nick Vertisasked about the rumors that he is gay, under the pretext that he has not appeared in public with his partner, replied that “If I were gay, I wouldn’t be ashamed to say it publicly».
“When you hear something that isn’t true, you ignore it. In the early years they called me Turkish, then Albanian. Then they said that my father is very rich and because of him I got a career. Everyone said what they wanted. Things that don’t apply don’t concern me. First of all I grew up in the Netherlands and I hate people who are ashamed of their peculiarities. If you’re gay, you shouldn’t be ashamed to say it. I had gay childhood friends who weren’t ashamed of itthe popular singer told People.
“If I were gay, I wouldn’t be ashamed of anything to say it in public. Unfortunately for some and fortunately for some, I am the last person on earth who would have even 1% homosexual tendencies in me. Personally, you know, I feel sorry for those who haven’t accepted themselves and push them away from me». When asked if he would get upset if a man flirted with him, he replied: “I wouldn’t argue. Of course, it also depends on the method. A well-known person flirted with me vulgarly and escaped the wood in the second, but without feeling the need to prove who I am. No matter what mistakes I’ve made in my life, my morals are always high and I wish all men wore the pants I wear!».
The singer spoke about drug use, an issue he has been criticized for in the past, advocating for their release.
“We have blinders on some issues. What I do know is that out of my ten friends in Holland, two used drugs. In Greece, however, out of my ten friends, eight have certainly done drugs at some point in their lives. I may have grown up around drugs, but I didn’t touch them. Since they weren’t banned in the Netherlands and there was no need to play it cool and cool, why touch them? It is better to give the choice with decriminalization, because the Dutch who take drugs are much less than all other Europeans».
