Nigerian singer Zinoleesky has shared how becoming a father has profoundly transformed his outlook on life, instilling in him a greater sense of responsibility and focus.

The Marlian Music signee, who welcomed his first child, Zendaya, in December 2023, and his second, Zafar, in April 2024, revealed that fatherhood has led to significant lifestyle changes.

Speaking in an interview with UK-based media personality Adesope, Zinoleesky said the experience of raising children has helped him overcome negative habits and remain focused on what truly matters.

“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.”

He added, “I have to keep my head down, keep my head straight. And it has been a blessing, too.”

Zinoleesky credited his children with giving his life new meaning and inspiring him to choose stability, growth, and positivity in both his personal and professional life.
