“Literally G-Dragon is an icon and a good, one of my biggest influences [to be honest],” she wrote. “Underrated for his contributions to art. [Fellow Big Bang member] T.O.P too.”
Grimes later also replied to a comment about a possible collaboration between her and G-Dragon, where she namedropped BLACKPINK‘s Jennie. “Actually, you’re inspiring me to bother [G-Dragon]… Jennie knows him, I could ask her to please poke him maybe, [oh my god],” she wrote.
