Popular Nigerian singer, Oniyinde Azeez, known by fans as Zinoleesky, has opened up about how becoming a father has changed his life in many ways.
The music star, who welcomed a daughter, Zendaya, in December 2023 and a son, Zafar, in April 2025, shared that fatherhood has made him more focused and responsible. Speaking in a recent interview on Adesope Live, Zinoleesky admitted that having children made him rethink his lifestyle.
“Fatherhood means quite a lot because I will say I’m a changed person since my boy got here,” he said. “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.”
The singer explained that he now makes better decisions because he knows his children are watching. “I have to keep my head down, keep my head straight. And, it has been a blessing, too,” he added.
Zinoleesky, who rose to fame with his unique sound and hit tracks, is one of the young voices shaping the Nigerian music scene.
