Zeal, singer and a member of Ghana’s award-winning music group, VIP, has said one of the reasons he is keeping a long beard is because he wants to stand out and be counted among Ghana’s sexiest looking men.

According to him, he wanted a new look and give the impression of being sexy.

Zeal, who used to be called Lazy, changed his name in September last year and has maintained his new name, Zeal.

He is well known in his group for keeping his beard well trimmed and short for a very long time. However, in recent times, he has been keeping the beard a little longer, which is giving him a Rick Ross kind of look.

All eyes were on him when he granted interviews and also when he posed for the cameras with fellow musicians Obour, Tic Tac and others.

Promzy and Prodigal, the other members of VIP, were not seen at the ceremony. 

After the programme, he told NEWS-ONE he had no other inspiration for his new look than to change his looks.    

“Well I just wanted to change my look and look like a real man and sexy at the same time,” he told the paper’s Francis Addo.
