#SHOWBIZ: Yonnyboii all for being hands-on dad
POPULAR rapper Yonnyboii, 27, has revealed the challenges of balancing his burgeoning music career with the responsibilities of fatherhood. The artiste, whose real name is Muhammad Haqeem Nuriman Nor Azrin, admitted that his reluctance to entrust his almost two-year-old baby boy's care to others has led him and his wife to take on the primary role of caregivers. "There are so many concerns these days. As a first-time father, I worry about issues like kidnapping, abuse and negligent babysitters," Yonnyboii said during a recent press conference on the upcoming Latihan Pestapora Malaysia 2025. "Despite our busy schedules, my wife and I strive to care for our child ourselves. If necessary, we rely on my mother-in-law, someone my wife trusts implicitly." Yonnyboii downplayed the difficulties of becoming a father at a young age. "For me, the journey hasn't been too challenging, thanks to the immense support from my mother-in-law and wife. "However, it's undeniably a unique and novel experience, one that can't be taught," he shared. "It's truly enjoyable, and I hope to witness my child grow up healthy and happy." The rapper said he prefers to bring his child along whenever work commitments allow. "I know these are moments I'll cherish and miss in the future. That's why, in these early years, I want to prioritise my children over my career. "Whenever possible, I take him with me. Typically, if I have work engagements, my wife and child will stay at the hotel for a short while. "We find it incredibly difficult to be separated from our children, let alone leave them in someone else's care. We prefer to be hands-on as much as we can," he added. In other news, Yonnyboii hinted at a new song that he will be performing at Latihan Pestapora Malaysia. The unreleased track is a special collaboration with a legendary Malaysian singer, whose identity remains under wraps for now. "I hope to use the stage as a platform to promote this song. It's slated for release around July and is a collaboration that I'm very excited about. "This is my first time working with him, and I'm confident he's the perfect voice to bring this song to life," he said. Yonnyboii is among a line-up of prominent local and Indonesian acts for the concert at Sunway Lagoon Surf Beach on July 26.
