Zendaya's Dad: Odell Beckham Was 'Perfect Gentleman' ... I Approve!

Great news for Odell Beckham Jr. ... you've been cleared to take Zendaya on a 2nd date (if she wants) ... because her dad says the NFL star passed his "interview" with flying colors!!!

Zendaya's dad, Kazembe Ajamu Coleman, joined the guys on the "TMZ Sports" show (airs weeknights on FS1) ... to talk about how IMPRESSED he was with Odell this weekend.

As we previously reported, OBJ and Zendaya (and dad) hung out in Hollywood -- and Kazembe said it was an "audition" to see if he was worthy of dating his daughter.

Not only did Kazembe give OBJ some serious compliments -- but he's got a pretty nice message for Odell's parents too.
