Nigerian singer Oniyinde Azeez, popularly known as Zinoleesky, has opened up about how fatherhood has completely changed his perspective and lifestyle.
The singer, who welcomed his first child, a daughter named Zendaya, in December 2023, and recently welcomed a son, Zafar, in April 2025, shared his journey into fatherhood during a recent interview.
According to Zino, the arrival of his children made him more intentional about how he lives and the choices he makes.
In his words: “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 let’s say 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.”
Zino added that being a dad has been a source of both reflection and motivation. With two children now looking up to him, Zinoleesky says he’s more determined to stay focused and responsible.
