Parents from North London who vlog Since 2017, The Kabs Family has been dominating YouTube. However, a famous video with 4.7 million views is still trending and enthralling viewers.
Dad Tay Kabs and his four-year-old daughter Maliya sit in the front seats of their parked car, fighting about old-school music. Maliya boasts about her musical knowledge, asserting in hushed tones that she is familiar with James Brown, Michael Jackson, and even Earth, Fire. Tay chuckles and corrects her, “See, there you go; it’s ‘Earth, Wind, and Fire.'”
“Daddy, could you just put on the music, please?” Following that, I replied to him. Maliya places her hand on her heart, shakes her head back and forth, and clicks her soulfully in time, like an elderly lady at a gospel church. She then sings Earth, Fire’s “That’s The Way Of The World,” word for word.
It’s always strange to see children play songs that their parents liked listening to as kids. But Maliya’s endearingly self-assured manner, as she dances to ’70s melodies like an adult lady beside her dad, who is clearly thinking, “What on Earth have I created?” makes their actual daddy-daughter connection 10 times funnier.
Maliya’s timeless hit, along with her childish articulation, mature demeanor, and undeniable love of old soul music, will melt Music Man readers like butter. Meanwhile, Tay plays the role of an overworked parent, adding a touch of sympathetic comedy to the song.
Maliya exclaims, “This is my tuuune!” as a Bobby Caldwell song begins to play. She then sways, air-drums, sings, and performs each line of the stanza. In another weird scene, Mali unexpectedly hops out of the car and begins swaying like a queen on the street, while Kool & The Gang’s 1982 hit song “Let’s Go Dancing” plays on the sound system.
Maliya, who is six years old, stars on The Kabs Family YouTube channel with her brothers Taija, 13, and TJ, 3. Their parents, Tay and Chan, both 33, are celebrities. The family has 1.28 million YouTube subscribers, 1.4 million Instagram followers, 3.5 million Facebook admirers, and an impressive 4.1 million TikTok followers.
Following their online success, both parents quit their jobs to pursue a full-time career as social media influencers. They have a lot of vlogs and challenges on their YouTube channel, including a charming video of Maliya doing cosmetics for her elder sister while reacting to social media remarks. The best things for us are spending time together and working as a family, she said in an exclusive Mirror interview. In my opinion, doing something you enjoy while spending time with your family is amazing, because we all enjoy it so much. We have the chance to become much more involved in their lives, something we cannot accomplish when working a 9-to-5 job.
In addition to YouTube, the influencer family appears in a number of advertising and sponsorships, including those for Cantu Shea Butter, Specsavers, and Colgate toothpaste.
