Nigerian singer Oniyinde Azeez, popularly known as Zinoleesky, has opened up about how fatherhood has reshaped his outlook on life.
The Kilofeshe crooner reflected on the personal changes he’s experienced since welcoming his two children during a recent interview on Adesope Live.
Zinoleesky, who became a father for the first time in December 2023 with the birth of his daughter, Zendaya, and recently welcomed a son, Zafar, in April 2025, spoke candidly about the impact of fatherhood on his lifestyle and mindset.
“Fatherhood means quite a lot because I will say I’m a changed person since my boy got here,” the singer shared. “There are some things I would have done before or the way I do some things, I’ve reduced, just because of the boy.”
He added that the responsibility of raising children has brought both clarity and motivation to his life. Zinoleesky explained that having two young ones looking up to him has made him more focused and intentional about his decisions.
“I have to keep my head down, keep my head straight. And it has been a blessing too,” he added.
The singer’s heartfelt remarks quickly resonated with fans online, many of whom praised his honesty and growth as both an artist and a father.
