Why Zayn Malik Left One Direction

Millions of people know Zayn Malik as the guy with the bad boy image The mysterious one who seemed to not get along with his ex-bandmates from One Direction There's many reasons why I dislike Zayn And then later on became the ungrateful traitor who left the boy band at the peak of their fame I never really wanted to be there And after having a child with Gigi Hadid Zayn was even accused of hitting Gigi's own mother Any comment on the substance abuse? But recently after years of laying low he finally broke his silence revealing what really drove him to darkness Completely selfishly wanted to be the first person to go. This is the untold story of the Misunderstood Zayn Malik a guy whom people would even make terrorist jokes about just because of where he came from Just tell me two things Zayn. Where are you during the Boston Marathon? Oh See Zayn Javad Malik was born to an immigrant Pakistani Muslim and a British mother He grew up living a simple grounded life. I was a Bit of a cheeky cheeky chappy. Yeah, I used to mischievous used to get into all kinds of just childish stuff already as a youngster He discovered his love for music. He was performing at school But as the whole world knows it was only up to this moment that he would carve his destiny to be in the biggest boy band ever Suddenly Zayn Malik became the silent mysterious bad boy wearing leather jackets The management assigned this to him as his brand. Do you think you're mysterious? Not really? I just Chill and while tens of millions were cheering for One Direction No one had any idea that Zayn was suffering deep inside because apart from the sad fact that he wasn't really making the kind Of music he liked you know Give my opinion on this or that because it didn't fit the grain of of what we were as a band if I would sing A hook or a verse slightly R&B or slightly myself It would always be recorded 50 times until there was a straight version That was pop so they could use that version the massive fame Also became impossible to handle for this young guy who didn't even know yet who he was You know the stage in front of thousands of people I think it's a really normal place to experience anxiety people. They don't know who they are And it's not a natural thing to do anxiety for me Is a feeling that now has a word and because then One Direction was getting overworked Doing world tour after world tour Zayn even secretly suffered from an eating disorder I'll just go for days sometimes two or three days straight without eating anything at all. It got quite serious I didn't feel like I had control over anything else in my life, but food was something I could control so I did until all this emotional suffering just became too strong and Zayn had to escape it all and they got to a certain point I think where it just became too much Zayn Malik has left the band the so-called bad boy felt so misunderstood That he risked losing Millions of fans and big money just to be able to figure out what kind of man he really was It's just feels great to just be able to just do whatever and kind of take the responsibility Myself and be like, yeah, I did that. So if you don't like it, then it's cool And in that bad boy move that certainly pissed off people He was actually man enough to own up to it and say honestly why I'm just gonna get out of here I think this is done and I just seen it and I Completely selfishly wanted to be the first person to go and make my own record soon enough finding his own voice paid off His first ever solo track pillow talk has billions of impressions Zayn was finally growing into the man. He wanted to be he was building his solo career He published an autobiography at the age of 23 he got into a serious relationship with Gigi Hadid and even when his demons his Crippling anxiety forced him to cancel some of his shows years after staying silent for his privacy and mental health Zayn came back as a better man, especially because now he's not just a man but a father since I've had my daughter and since she was born like The main thing in my mind is like trying to be a good example to her like in terms of you know I can do things and I can achieve things and I can overcome things and you can do this, too I want her to be able to look at me and be like, you know, my dad's doing this, you know He's he's the man. He's cool He now handles intense family drama the way a real respectful man would what the situation was I knew what happened and the people involved knew what happened to any sort of narrative online where my daughter was gonna look back and read that and be able to read into it and it would just be something That was there was no point. Anxiety, eating disorder, suffering emotionally These are really difficult dark things and his so-called bad boy Wouldn't want to be exposed for right and maybe that just proves how Zayn was clearly misunderstood you know everything that may have been perceived as me not being grateful was down to me having some sort of issues myself and Not necessarily being able to express that that's maybe he wasn't a bad boy But just a young gentle soul He wasn't an ungrateful traitor But just an artist who needed freedom and he may have not been a perfect partner or son-in-law No one really knows for sure, but he's definitely trying to be a good father I just spend a full day with her doing the things that she wants to do like painting Play-doh this that go to the park go to the theme park go to the zoo Like we just have fun and I hope this reminds you night fam That's even if it takes some time even if you face some darkness along the way It is only you who can truly know who you really are It's a nice feeling to come out of a place where you are being told what to do and as the story of the Misunderstood Zayn Malik just proved to us Evolving into a better human will always be worth all of it
