He revealed she’s a fan of K-pop groups like BLACKPINK and TWICE, which partly inspired his collaboration with Jisoo.
Zayn Malik on how his daughter Khai influences his music:
"She's into TWICE, she's into BLACKPINK. That was kind of a big reason why I did the feature with Jisoo, if I'm being honest. My daughter's such a big fan and I wanted to be cool. I got some good dad points for that." pic.twitter.com/Z10JzYO1NDAccording to Malik, the feature wasn’t just about music, it was also about earning “dad points.” He joked that Khai loved the collaboration, making it a special moment for him as both an artist and a father.
