Former One Direction star releases rap song
The song's lyrics address the racism Malik experienced during his time with the boy band One Direction.
Malik, who is of Pakistani, English, and Irish descent, raps about working hard in a white band and being laughed at for his Asian heritage.
He spent five years with One Direction before his departure in 2015, initially citing a desire for a normal life but later admitting competitive reasons for his solo career.
Malik recently reunited with Harry Styles, Niall Horan, and Louis Tomlinson at Liam Payne's funeral in November 2024.

Jake Paul and Mike Tyson agree stunning seven-figure bet on Katie Taylor vs Amanda Serrano trilogy fight
Jake Paul and Mike Tyson have placed a stunning $1million bet ahead of Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano's highly-anticipated fight. The super-lightweight rivals will share the ring for the third time on Friday night, as Taylor looks to make the second defense of her undisputed title. Irish star Taylor has emerged victorious in the two previous meetings against Serrano, including a unanimous decision win back in November. The two rivals fought as part of the main card for Paul and Tyson's shock boxing fight - which Paul won - and now they prepare to face-off once more. Ahead of the fight, Paul phoned up Tyson and offered to place the stunning bet, to which 'Iron Mike' could not refuse. Paul shared a video on his social media platforms which showed him in conversation with Tyson. He said: 'A lot of people are saying that Amanda Serrano and Katie Taylor 's fight was better than ours. They're fighting again this weekend'. Mike Tyson has Katie, I got Amanda — Jake Paul (@jakepaul) July 7, 2025 In a blunt response, legendary heavyweight Tyson said: 'I've got Katie.' Paul responded: 'I've got Amanda, do you wanna bet?'. Tyson enthusiastically as he shouted: 'Yeah!' 'Alright, we'll make a bet! If Katie wins then you get $1million, if Amanda wins then I get $1million,' Paul continued. Tyson responded: 'I like that! Then you've got to take me out to dinner too.' Paul then said: 'Alright, I'll take you out for dinner. I'll take you on a date.' Taylor beat Serrano for the first time in April 2022 via a split decision, despite many observers feeling that Serrano had done enough to seal victory. Their second fight was equally close, but Taylor won a unanimous decision from the judges, which again sparked debate among fans. Taylor currently hold all of the belts in the 140lb division, and has won 24 of her 25 professional fights, with just one loss on her record. Serrano is a seven-weight world champion herself, and has tasted defeat on just three occasions in her 51-fight career.

Ozzy Osbourne 's concert in Birmingham on Saturday was historic not just because it reunited the original line-up of local heroes Black Sabbath for the first time in 20 years but due to it being the final performance by the heavy metal singer, who has Parkinson's disease. But for Ozzy's daughter, Kelly Osbourne, the night was even more memorable because her boyfriend, Slipknot musician Sid Wilson, proposed backstage at Villa Park.

Aussie who made soccer history when he came out as gay reveals his huge life change - with a touch of mystery
A-League star Josh Cavallo has revealed he is relocating to the United Kingdom with his fiancé - but his sporting future remains unknown. Cavallo, 25, rose to international prominence in 2021 when he became the first openly gay male footballer actively playing in a top-flight league. At the time, the Adelaide United defender stated he didn't want to feel ashamed about his sexuality and was exhausted after trying to live a 'double life'. Taking to Instagram on Monday, Cavallo told his 1.1 million followers he is looking forward to living in England. 'It's not goodbye forever but now, it's time to leave the nest with my fiancé by my side,' his post began. 'Football and life have taken me further than I ever imagined, and new opportunities have led to a new life waiting for us across the world. Taking to Instagram on Monday, Cavallo (pictured right with Morrell) told his 1.1 million Instagram followers he is looking forward to living in England 'I never imagined that living my truth would unlock doors from the pitch to every corner of my personal life. 'Whether you've followed my journey from the beginning or found strength in it along the way, your presence has meant more than words can ever say. 'Especially to the LGBTQ+ community, you are the reason I never gave up. 'You helped me see that I wasn't alone and that none of us are. For the boy who once looked in the mirror and questioned why he was different, this is proof that you can find your place in this world.' The first professional player to come out while still playing was Britain's Justin Fashanu in 1990, but he never found acceptance in the game and tragically took his own life in 1998. Once he made his announcement, Cavallo received support on social media from the likes of Matildas skipper Sam Kerr, ex-Barcelona defender Gerard Pique and former England striker Gary Lineker. He also labelled the support from Adelaide United teammates and officials 'immense', before adding he wanted to be a positive role model for gay footballers. 'It's OK to be gay and play football - I want to show all the other people who are struggling and are scared,' Cavallo said. The left back came through the youth ranks at Melbourne Victory and Melbourne City before securing an A-League move to Western United in 2019. He played 10 matches for the Green and Black before signing a short contract with Adelaide United in 2021. In May, Adelaide United confirmed Cavallo was departing the club, labelling their former star a 'symbol of courage, authenticity and positive change.' Daily Mail Australia reached out to Cavallo and Wax - who manage the athlete - regarding any potential football opportunities abroad.
