Damiano David has caused a stir with his latest selfies. The 24-year-old Italian singer, who is the frontman of the rock band Maneskin“uploaded” two “spicy” photos of him on social media, in which he poses naked.

In the images, he is reclining on a bed, smoking a cigarette, leaving almost nothing to the imagination. Sitting on zebra-print sheets, Damiano gives the camera a sly look and then smiles.

The photos have drawn mixed reactions, with some fans saying the star is “making fun” of himself. “Nessuno é profeta nella sua terra”, tweeted shortly after the images “disappeared” (“No one is a prophet in his own place”). Of course, the photos are on Instagram…

Is this another publicity stunt by the singer? And that’s because Damiano David “teamed up” with pop star Anitta for the needs of a music video for the track titled “Mil Veces”, which was officially released on Thursday.

The star – whose real name is Larissa de Macedo Machado – and the fellow musician shared steamy moments, including a shower scene and another passionate moment in bed.
