Yakiboy, a powerlifter from Sydney known for his extensive tattoos, refers to himself as the “Muslim Shia soldier.” However, some of his 65,000 social media followers have been upset by his recent posts. In his revealing Instagram photos, he often showcases his tattoos, gym workouts, luxurious cars, alcohol, and flashy gold chains, with only a cartoon pizza slice to cover his private parts.
Yakiboy proudly identifies as a “Muslim warrior”. Seen on his Instagram account.
An Instagram post that caused a stir among conservative Muslims featured images of expensive items such as a gold-plated Beretta handgun, luxury cars, and Versace bed sheets, valued at thousands of dollars. These posts have sparked criticism from some followers who believe that such displays contradict Yakiboy’s Muslim faith. Comments have been made stating that his tattoos are considered “haram” in Islam, meaning they are prohibited. One commenter expressed disbelief at Yakiboy’s lifestyle, questioning how tattoos and alcohol align with being a Muslim.

Let success be your noise” and “You’ve only got 3 choices: Give up, Give in or Give it all you’ve got!” Despite his association with the late gangster Pasquale Barbaro, Yakiboy has denied any involvement in criminal activities, addressing the rumors on social media. Barbaro’s criminal activities have been likened to characters from popular TV shows, but Yakiboy is focused on his own journey and distancing himself from any negative associations.
