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.

time,” he told the paper’s Francis Addo.
