Malik said in the Aug. 19 TikTok video as he panned the camera around, showing off his view. “Because I heard the Queen City needed a king. The Queen City needed a king. And before you be like, ‘Oh, I’m here, I’m here.’ Exactly. That’s why they called for me.” Malik recently marked another special occasion as he celebrated his 28th birthdaylast month.
“Survived the 27 club (barely), he wrote on Instagram July 2 alongside a Great Gatsby-themed photoshoot. It's only right I celebrate my 28th like it’s the party of the century. Call me Malik Gatsby. Cheers to the rest of my roaring 20s, old sport.
