Nigerian singer Oniyinde Azeez, better known as Zinoleesky, has revealed how fatherhood has transformed his outlook on life and influenced his lifestyle choices.
The artist, who welcomed his first child, a daughter named Zendaya, in December 2023, and more recently a son, Zafar, in April 2025, shared his experience during a chat on Adesope Live.
Zinoleesky said the arrival of his children has made him more deliberate about his actions and decisions.
“Fatherhood means quite a lot because I will say I’m a changed person since my boy got here. There are some things that I would have done before, or the way I do some things, I have reduced just because of the boy. I have to keep my head down, keep my head straight. And it has been a blessing, too,” he said.
He added that being a father has brought both reflection and motivation, noting that with two children now looking up to him, he feels an even greater responsibility to remain focused and responsible.
