The Afrobeat star, born Oniyide Azeez, opened up about the transformative journey of fatherhood during a recent interview with media personality Adesope.

Zinoleesky became a father for the first time in December 2023 when he welcomed his daughter, Zendaya. Just four months later, he embraced fatherhood again with the arrival of his son, Zafar.

These milestones, he said, have turned his world around and influenced his behaviour, priorities, and decisions.

“Fatherhood means a lot to me. I will say I’m a changed person since my boy got here,” Zinoleesky stated. “There are things I would have done before, or let’s say the way I used to do certain things, I’ve reduced now just because of the boy.

I have to keep my head down, stay focused, and do things the right way. It’s been a real blessing to me.”

According to the Marlian Music signee, fatherhood has helped him eliminate distractions and bad habits. He now devotes his time and energy to creating a stable future, not just for himself but for his children.

The singer noted that this new role has given him a deeper understanding of life, inspiring him to grow and become a better role model.

Zinoleesky, widely known for his street-inspired sound and energetic performances, acknowledged that the responsibilities of fatherhood have brought him clarity and peace.

The birth of his children has helped him appreciate the value of consistency, long-term planning, and emotional balance.

While he has faced his fair share of fame and controversy in recent years, the artist now appears grounded and more intentional about the life he is building. Fans have observed a noticeable shift in his demeanour, applauding his maturity and renewed sense of purpose.

Zinoleesky concluded, “My kids are my motivation. They are the reason I’m working harder and making better choices. I want them to be proud of who I am.”
