Gjin and the Lipa family received a special shoutout as Dua thanked them during her acceptance speech and gave her father a birthday shoutout. In 2018, Gjin was on stage when Dua made her acceptance speech after winning the British Breakthrough Artist award at the Brit Awards 2018.

Dua revealed during her speech why she took Gjin and her younger sister with her on stage. She said she thanked everyone responsible for her album and her family and had told her siblings "to believe in magic because it's real."

She said that moment was the closest she had come to it, so she "wanted them to experience it firsthand." Gjin was also thrust into the spotlight when his sister rose to fame.

The last post is an old video of Gjin singing and playing a toy guitar. As shown in the video where he was rocking a toy guitar, he seems to have an affinity for music like his older sister.

Gjin was born in England, like his siblings, after his parents fled Kosovo. In 2006, when he was a year old, his parents brought the family back to Kosovo, deeming it safe enough to return. The youngster seems to have been named after his father, Dukagjin.

Gjin and his father are close, and his dad calls him "bro." His dad often shares birthday tributes on Instagram and brings him to soccer games.
