Popular Nigerian chef Ladipo Ayodeji, known as Chef Dee, is wearing his heart on his sleeve literally. In a beautiful gesture to celebrate his daughter Oyinkansola’s first birthday on May 2, 2025, Chef Dee got a tattoo of her and his wife’s faces on his arm.

He shared a video of the moment online along with a deeply emotional caption that reflects on his journey through life. “We went from babyhood straight to childhood… not so long ago I found myself defeating bachelorhood,” he wrote. Now, he says, “With God’s blessings I’m rocking fatherhood.”

With just one tattoo, Chef Dee captures the story of love, family, and the pride of a man fully embracing fatherhood.
