Nigerian singer Oniyinde Azeez, widely known by his stage name Zinoleesky, has publicly shared how the profound experience of fatherhood has completely transformed his life. During a recent interview with Adesope Live, the artist reflected on the significant impact his children have had on his personal growth and lifestyle choices, asserting that becoming a father has made him a changed person.

Zinoleesky is a father to two children: a daughter named Zendaya, born in December 2023, and a son named Zafar, who arrived in April this year. He explained that since the birth of his son, he has drastically reduced or altered certain negative habits and behaviors that he previously engaged in. This shift, he noted, is solely for the sake of his children, as he realized the imperative to remain focused and grounded for their well-being.

Elaborating on this personal evolution, Zinoleesky stated, “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.” He emphasized the newfound sense of responsibility, adding, “I have to keep my head down, keep my head straight. And, it has been a blessing, too.”

The singer, known for hits like “Kilofeshe,” “Call of Duty,” “Rocking,” and “Personal,” gained prominence in 2019 under Naira Marley’s Marlian Music label. While his label has faced past controversies, Zinoleesky appears to be entering a new, more responsible phase of his life, prioritizing his family and demonstrating a clear commitment to positive change.
