Nigerian music star Oniyinde Azeez, popularly known as Zinoleesky, has opened up about how becoming a father has transformed his lifestyle and mindset.
The Marlian Music signee, who welcomed his daughter Zendaya in December 2023, recently became a father again with the birth of his son, Zafar, in April 2025.
Speaking during an interview on Adesope Live, Zinoleesky revealed that fatherhood has inspired him to drop certain habits and adopt a more responsible outlook on life.
“Fatherhood means quite a lot because I will say I’m a changed person since my boy got here,” he shared. “There are some things that I would have done before or let’s say the way I do some things I have reduced just because of the boy.”
He explained that becoming a parent has helped him stay focused and grounded.
“I have to keep my head down, keep my head straight. And, it has been a blessing, too,” he added.
The singer’s remarks reflect a growing trend among young Nigerian artistes embracing fatherhood and the lifestyle changes that come with it.
