Zayn Malik drops bombshell about facing 'racism' during One Direction days
In an upcoming new song, Zayn Malik touches on his experience with racism while he was in the band that made him famous, One Direction. On Saturday the 32-year-old British singer, who has a Pakistani and Muslim background, previewed his upcoming track Fuchsia Sea, in which he raps about being othered. Malik was an active member of the boy band from 2010 to 2015, alongside Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan and the late Liam Payne. In a verse on the forthcoming single, Zayn raps: 'Got my back against the wall so much they think I got a brick fascination / Do you remember every conversation? 'Cause I have been conscious of every connotation. 'And while they concentrate on their elevation, I've got a round trip to the constellation / I'm a convert to the concert, and I did that for inflation, 'cause I worked hard in a White band, and they still laughed at the Asian.' He shared a snippet of the song on Instagram, teasing that the full tune is 'coming soon.' The father-of-one, who shares four-year-old daughter Khai with ex-girlfriend Gigi Hadid, typed the lyrics in an Instagram Stories post. This is not the first time Zayn has addressed racism in his music. A leaked song called Yellow Metal (Cathartic) details his plight as he recites, 'Said I had a problem with hittin' the kids that would call me paki / Still sittin' in classroom chillin' / I'm angry now that I'm older 'cause I see they treat us different / Got me thinking I'm the problem 'cause they never dealt with these issues.' Elsewhere in the music, he sings, 'Twenty years later, I'm still in the same boat / Tryna treat me like my grandpa, say I came up off the boat.' After One Direction was formed via The X Factor UK in 2010, Malik made his exit five years later. He announced the news via the group's Facebook page 10 years ago. 'I feel like it is now the right time for me to leave the band,' he said in a statement. Zayn added, 'I'd like to apologize to the fans if I've let anyone down, but I have to do what feels right in my heart. I am leaving because I want to be a normal 22-year-old who is able to relax and have some private time out of the spotlight. I know I have four friends for life in Louis, Liam, Harry and Niall.' Zayn and his former bandmates unexpectedly reunited last year when they gathered to mourn the loss of Liam. The late singer died suddenly when he fell from a hotel balcony in Buenos Aires at age 31 in October. In January his cause of death was officially ruled as 'polytrauma' — a term used to describe multiple traumatic injuries sustained by the body. He had a blood alcohol concentration of 'up to 2.7 grams per liter in his blood,' according to the National Criminal and Correctional Prosecutor's Office No. 14. In addition to alcohol, the toxicology report found traces of several substances in Liam's system: cocaine metabolites, methylecgonine, benzoylecgomine, cocaethylene, and the antidepressant sertraline.

The couple posed up a storm at the star-studded event where they double dated with fellow married couple Kirsten Dunst and Jesse Plemons. Black Doves star Keira, 40, was the epitome of sophistication in a white tweet gown which boasted black lapels and statement silver buttons. Still rocking her new shorter hairstyle, the dress also featured racy split and she completed the look with dazzling diamond earrings. Meanwhile Klaxon's musician James, 41, who shares daughters Edie, ten, and six-year-old Delilah with his wife, looked dapper in a classic black tuxedo and shades. Spiderman star Kirsten, 43, was also dressed to impress in a silver metallic gown which was cinched at her waist with a gold buckled belt. The stunner forwent jewellery letting the sparkly ensemble speak for itself as she cosied up to her suit and booted actor husband, 37. Together the couple are parents to sons sons Ennis, seven, and four-year-old James. Also on the guest list was German movie star Diane Kruger, 48, who turned heads in a flowing ruffled look. The gala was in celebration of the centennial for the 1925 International Exhibition of Decorative Arts, with Oscar winning movie director Sofia Coppola serving as Artistic Director. According to Harper's Bazar, as well as a VIP guest list, the bash was also accessible to anyone who purchased a ticket, unlike New York's Met Gala. In statement Sofia said: 'I am honoured to be entrusted with the artistic direction of the Bal d'Été at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris.' 'This city is my beloved second home, so to celebrate this icon of French culture is especially inspiring to me.' Earlier this month it was revealed Keira's companies make her a whopping £25million. Still rocking her new shorter hairstyle , the dress also featured racy split She accessorised with dazzling diamond earrings and a huge cocktail ring The stunner forwent jewellery letting the sparkly ensemble speak for itself as she cosied up to her suit and booted actor husband, 37 The stunner put on a very leggy display as she climbed out of her chauffeur driven car Keira said in 2014 that said she gave herself a yearly salary of £30,000 to stop her losing touch with her less affluent friends. But The Pirates Of The Caribbean star should give herself a pay rise as her treasure chest is bursting. New accounts have shown there is a whopping £7.1million in profits at the 40-year-old actress's company Ponder Rights, including £411,000 earned in 2024. Its riches sit alongside £9.7million held in performing arts company KCK Boo, as well as £7.8million worth of properties held in nominee company Charlotte Road - that's a total of almost £25million. Explaining her frugality, Keira said: 'Living an [expensive] lifestyle means you can't hang out with people who don't live that lifestyle. It alienates you.' 'Some of my best, most hilarious times, have been in the least luxurious places.' Keira is famously frugal - and when she shops at her local Tesco with her husband they have been known to use separate self-service checkouts. The actress lives in a £4million North London mansion with her family. She bought the pad using a £2.3million loan from her own company.

Both sides are really going from back to front quickly. We know that's a strength of both of theirs. Update: Date: 5 mins Title: Post Content: Switzerland 0-0 Iceland A fast start by both teams. After going so close to conceding, Switzerland went up the other end and Julia Stierli fired wide. Stierli scored an own goal in the loss against Norway. Update: Date: 20:04 BST Title: Post Content: Switzerland 0-0 Iceland Emily SalleyBBC Sport in Bern It's a crackling atmosphere inside Wankdorf Stadium.

Update: Date: 19:58 BST Title: Post Content: Switzerland v Iceland (20:00 BST) The national anthems are done and dusted. The time for talking is over.

This is the first do or die and Iceland will have to be decisive to win. Anon Update: Date: 19:55 BST Title: Will Swiss get back on track? Content: Switzerland v Iceland (20:00 BST) Rachel Brown-FinnisEx-England goalkeeper Switzerland's defeat by Norway was a disappointing result for the hosts but I thought they were fantastic in the first half and I don't think they let their lead slip because of a lack of application or a dip in their performance. The swing in that game was more down to Norway changing their tactics and the Swiss failing to adapt. Even then, they were a bit unfortunate not to get anything from the game. If Switzerland can play with the same intensity here then, with the crowd behind them, I think they will have enough quality to get their tournament back on track.
