Zayn Malik once got into trouble with Gigi Hadid after handing over almost $700 to their daughter Khai.
Malik spoke about the difference in his and Gigi’s parenting approaches during an appearance on the channel Call her daddy podcast.
He recalled that the model “gave me s***” after giving Khai the large sum when she lost a tooth.
“I think I gave her a little too much tooth fairy money.” I’m going to keep that and frame it,” he said.
He further argued that he wants to make sure his daughter gets everything he didn’t have growing up, and also that he works hard and should be allowed to spend his Khai, especially since she is his first child.
“At the end of the day, I work really hard and I should be able to give my child what I want to give her,” the Love Like This hitmaker said.
However, he plans to give Khai $5 if she also loses her second, joking, “The tooth fairy is broken now.”
He said he should get a break since it’s his first time as a parent.
“Give me a break, someone, please,” he said before laughing.
“People generally look at it a certain way,” he continued. “In the end, I was lucky if I got something for my teeth. I worked very hard for everything I earned, so I don’t feel like I have to be accountable for [those] things.”
He explained his tendency to impersonate Khai to make sure she experiences things he hasn’t.
“I sometimes overcompensate for that a little bit,” he said. ‘Certainly. I’ll hold my hands up.’
