Malika Haqq is an American actress and television host best known for her part in the 2005 film Sky High as Penny. Khadijah Haqq, her twin sister, also appeared in the film. Since season two of the reality show Keeping Up With The Kardashians, Haqq has been a recurring cast member. Haqq starred in the Kardashian spin-off, which focused on Khloé and her then-marriage to NBA player Lamar Odom, as well as his two children from a previous relationship. She worked as Khloé’s assistant until 2012 when she decided to leave in order to collaborate with her as her best friend. In 2015, Haqq appeared in the Keeping Up With The Kardashians’ spinoff Dash Dolls.
Haqq opted to pursue acting full-time, and she played the lead in Omarion’s video “Speedin’.” She has also appeared on shows such as The Bernie Mac Show, Entourage, and Real Husbands of Hollywood. Haqq appeared in season 21 of the reality show Celebrity Big Brother UK in 2018. She was ousted on Day 29 of the show, only days before the finale. She and her sister Khadijah signed a deal with Kin Community in 2020 to launch a series called ‘Side By Side,’ in which the twins open up about love, childhood, and lifestyle to fans. The first season debuted on Facebook Watch, but after a successful run, the series was moved to YouTube, where it now has over 130 thousand subscribers and over 7 million video views.
Haqq’s ambition as a lifestyle influencer led to her being a brand ambassador for Pretty Little Thing, a fast-fashion online retailer. Along with real-life Best Friend Forever, Khloe Kardashian, Haqq released the “Becca BFF” makeup collection with Becca Cosmetics.
