Masuimi Max says she insisted on being a model despite going against her parents’ religious values
During a 2014 interview with Desired Looks, Masuimi Max opened up about her personal life, including when she decided to pursue modeling.
“As I grew up, I insisted on being a model,” she explained. “But my parents were Pentecostals and that went completely against their religious values. Pantene approached me when she was sixteen because she had long, beautiful, natural hair, but my dad said, ‘No, that’s the devil’s way!’
Masuimi Max further explained that she was a tomboy, so half of her wanted to be a model. “The other half wanted to drive a tank and kick a—! She wanted to study martial arts but that was also prohibited. So, the day after I turned sixteen I got a job and went to the karate studio. Of course, this didn’t sit well with my parents and they disowned me when I was seventeen.”
After being kicked out of her parents’ home, Masuimi Max worked two jobs to find her place and support herself. She lived in a “cockroach motel” in Las Vegas. Despite that, she did everything she could to avoid returning to her parents. “My dad said, ‘You’ll be back.’ You’ll be crying!’ But he was determined to succeed and I thought, ‘No, I won’t do it.’ I don’t care if I sleep on the street. Anything is better than living there.’”
Because he worked two jobs, he was unable to finish high school. But that didn’t stop him from being successful. “When I turned eighteen, literally on my birthday, I started working at Club Paradise in Las Vegas. That same week I became a featured artist because I was the only one who volunteered to learn how to eat fire!
