Zayn Malik Finally Reveals Why He Left One Direction

Zayn Malik is getting honest about why he wanted to leave One Direction. In his first interview in six years, the former boy band member sat down with Alex Cooper for the "Call Her Daddy" podcast and opened up about why he chose to be the first one to step away from the group in 2015 and go solo. "I don't want to go into too much detail, but there was a lot of politics going on, certain people were doing certain things, certain people didn't want to sign contracts, so I knew something was happening," he said. "I'm passive, dude, but when it comes to my music and my business, I'm serious about it and I'm competitive, so I wanted to be the first to go and do my own thing." In the candid conversation released on Wednesday, he also reflected on co-parenting his 2-year-old daughter, Khai with his ex-girlfriend, Gigi Hadid. "Co-parenting is, is good. Yeah. We have a really good relationship for Khai. She's the, you know, the main importance. So yeah it's going well," he explained. He also gushed about fatherhood and revealed that their toddler loves to sing with her dad. "I'll sing and she sings along, and she can do like good harmonies and stuff already and she's only 2 1/2 like and she harmonizes with me well and like finishes," he said. "She loves Disney movies, so we sing a lot of Disney songs together and sing like, 'You've Got A Friend In Me' and stuff. Yeah, she sings really cute." Zayn and Gigi reportedly called things quits in 2021 after an alleged argument with her mom, Yolanda Hadid, and he addressed the speculation while sitting down with the host.

If your in an interview sidestepping questions to refer to your daughter. No your asked specific questions. Every question was asked if they can ask it ahead of time at the interview don't divert the questions. If you don't want to do the interview say so don't be ignorant because you are who you are v that is just rude the questions are prepared ahead of time.

[@koborikhurshid7728]

@@davyinsiri5168 Clearly you didn't watched the whole podcast or you're intentionally missing the point."He wanted to make his own music" I agree that that was one of the reason as he said so. But everyone knows he suffered racism,developed social phobia,anxiety & ED. In addition contractual issues,they didn't let him contribute in song writings like others. They rejected Pillowtalk & even "I won't mind". Also he didn't said he doesn't have friendship w others but said that at a point there were sick of each other & what did you expect? They spent 24/7 with a overloaded work situation for years. Please don't twist words it's not that hard to get it.

@@davyinsiri5168 i really enjoyd the hole interview. He gave a verry humble and authentic impression and you can tell he is genuin. Yes he told it was of selfish reasons he left, he wanted to be the first and he also wanted to do his own thing. I think that was verry good thing for him to agnualage to and that was the reason the hole him leaving the band was so toxic that he did it in the middle of the tour. I understand they were exasted and eating disorders and anxiety should be taking seriously. The only thing i miss in this interview is her asking where he and the rest of the band stand today? They were good friends from the beginning but after 5 years they were a little sick of each other. So do they talk today at all? I know he and Louis have reconcile but does he talk to Harry? I was surprised he even mentioned and talked about Harry because it seems that their friendship was affected the most at the time.

[@RaniaBhatti]

@@davyinsiri5168that was a lie, it was a cover up for the emotions he really left, he didn’t want to face it so it was easier for him to deny it. They were in a band for 5 years, I find it hard to believe he didn’t have the closest bond with them, they were 5 best friends and were like brothers

Zayn leaving One Direction truly has been the best decesion he ever made.

[@englishchris1461]

I really love the maturity and saying how now he can look back at the One Direction experience with fondness. Its completely understandable that familarity breeds comtempt and 5 years of intense closeness it was time to call it quits. He was just was the first one. The fact the other members did the same just a few months later speaks the truth. It was time for all of them to spread their wings. Gives me hope these young men might find their way back to each other.

[@Aditya-sg5uu]

He said that there was lot of politics going on and he didn't want to get into detail and other bandmates also refused to sign the contract to continue with band and he saw that band was over so he decided to quit first thinking about his music and health. If thinking about one 's mental health and choice of music and get yourself out of toxicity is selfish then being selfish = self love which is very important.

Honestly that’s not selfish that’s completely fair. This is his life and career

[@scottbarth1273]

seeking or concentrating on one's own advantage, pleasure, or well-being without regard for others. 2. : arising from concern with one's own welfare or advantage in disregard of others. a selfish act. Leaving the band in the middle of a tour, because you wanted to get a head start on everyone else with a solo album(as said by Zayn), is literally the definition of selfish. Regardless, it would have been the bands last year anyways judging by the interview with people not signing contracts. The other 4 knew it was going to be over also, but they finished the tour for the fans who already bought tickets for shows. That's the difference. Im also by no means hating on Zayn.But to say it's not selfish Is delusional.

[@angiev1840]

@@scottbarth1273 Absolutely. He did make it easier for Harry to leave, though. Harry had asked for a break before Zayn left and it was denied. Mgmt wanted to milk that cash cow as long as they could. All of the boys can sing. It's no disparagement of them to say that not having Zayn's voice left a major impact on their sound. Made in the AM was their least successful album. If Zayn hadn't left, I think mgmt would have tried harder to keep them together.

They all knew they only had one album left, Harry was getting contacted for ALL the deals. His management told him to launch solo before Harry so he could get out in front. They didn't count on the fact that he can't perform solo (has anxiety attacks) and so that stunted the exponential growth he needed

In some ways good of him to own up but also a shock for fans. He never appeared to be all that keen to be put in the band but what a learning curve for him. Kudos to the rest of the lads for keeping quiet on it and sticking together for the final album….my personal favourite. You can easily see which ones were wanting to make the move. Considering what they’d been through together Zayn could of handled his exit better. However they’ve all done extremely well considering the life they were thrown into at such a young age. It’s all starting to make sense, thanks Zayn.

[@valeskacanas9187]

Kudos to Zayn for handling well, actually considering the lies he was being told. He saw his other bandmates planning their exit. He could not have handled it "better " just like the other members couldn't have handled it " better." The other members msde it known theur ridicule abd disregards towards Zayn abd their 1D fans followed suit copying their idols by hating Zayn. They other 1D members made fun of Zayn publicly and laughed at him. They talkled badly about him and ghosted him. Whilst they abd theur fans ganged up on Zayn, zayn kept going despite the vitriol. They other guys could have handled it better but thsts ok people grow.

​@@Musiklife.9049You listen carefully he said there was politics going on and if you look at his interviews from one direction he hardly use to speak and they hardly use to interact with him Clearly there was something going on which had effected him that time, he said no one signed the contract to further continue with the band so he saw the end but wanted to move out first and that's what he did if it was not him then there would have been another member to exit first . He further detailed about his mental health problem developed in band and Every other band member has talked about how they were overworked and overexposed . Zayn has returned to spotlight after 6 yrs due to his anxiety and mental health it is proof that he was actually dealing with a lot of health issues and now he is ready.

@@user-qp9sj4gw1u it’s just my opinion that he could have pulled out before the tour started instead of waiting till they were on the tour. To me it would have just been a nicer way of doing it considering everything these boys had been through. Zayn leaving was the right thing for him , as he put it he wanted to become the first to put out his own music. It’s different from what he said when he left and that’s fine it’s really all history now. It would be great to hear some live music from him instead of only studio now he seems to have his anxiety under control

[@user-qp9sj4gw1u]

@@wombats5128 He did say he was deprived creatively, opened up about health issues, how they were all fighting while writing lyrics for the songs in 2016 itself.. & he also said 'Normal 22 yr old' is not his statement at all..he even wrote a book about it.. but u all much prefer the lies about the band being friendly instead of the truth..Zayn even mentioned tat fans like the idea of them being friends... So kudos to Zayn for being Honest👏 even after knowing very well that 1d fans much prefer the lies & hypocrisy

[@user-qp9sj4gw1u]

@@wombats5128 He also said if he had continued it would have affected his life too much...why couldn't you comprehend it? So leaving the band in a NICER way is more important than his health & ambitions

[@zantezaint2348]

As a project manager building a home, I've heard too many excuses quitters would try to use to justify leaving a project. At the end of the day, some people want more money and would do anything to get it at whatever cost, hence the word "selfish." It's not about finishing the project, it's not about being worried about letting everyone in the team down, it's not about responsibilities and accountabilities, it's not about doing what's right or just or fair, all of that is thrown out the window with dudes like him, and unfortunately there are too many of dudes like him

[@FeelTheLack]

This was a really thoughtful reply. It's all about character, some people wouldn't even consider doing something for themselves if it would let down people who rely on you. Other people, like this guy, don't care about how many people they have to screw over to get first in line.
