John Legend might be a Grammy-winning artist, but it seems his greatest challenge yet is negotiating with his 8-year-old daughter, Luna. In a charming new video shared by Billboard, Luna took on the role of interviewer—and part-time phone rights activist—to grill her famous dad about his children's album, My Favorite Dream. Spoiler: she's got both negotiating skills and comedic timing that could rival a seasoned lawyer.
When Legend mentioned that he and wife Chrissy Teigen are holding off on giving Luna a smartphone until she's 16, Luna didn't miss a beat. "How about we compromise on nine?" she quipped, flashing a grin that could melt the strictest parental resolve. Legend's reaction? Laughter, applause, and perhaps a brief moment of reconsideration. Let's just say Luna's already campaigning for the presidency of the Family Council.
The interview wasn't all business, though. Luna's curiosity shone as she asked her dad, "What do you love most about our family?" Legend's heartfelt response would bring a tear to anyone's eye. "I think the most pure love you can have is the love you have for your family," he said, adding that he and Teigen pour their life lessons into their kids to help them become the best adults they can be. Cue the collective "aawww" from fans everywhere.
As for My Favorite Dream, Luna's fingerprints are all over it—literally. She contributed artwork for the album and lent her voice to the track "L-O-V-E." The album, co-produced with indie darling Sufjan Stevens, is already a hit among kids and parents alike, proving that Legend's talents transcend generations.
But back to the pressing matter: Will Luna get that smartphone before her sweet 16? With negotiation skills like hers, don't be surprised if she's calling from her own phone by the time she hits double digits.
