Simon Cowell Calls Zayn Malik ‘Rude’ for Dissing One Direction’s Music

FUSE TV - Simon Cowell Calls Zayn Malik ‘Rude’ for Dissing One Direction’s Music

Last month, Zayn Malik’s Fader cover story included the former One Direction member looking back on his boy-band days and ahead to his future as a solo artist. The interview found Malik explaining his decision to leave 1D as a musical one: “There was never any room for me to experiment creatively in the band,” Malik said. “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, generic as fuck, so they could use that version.”

Simon Cowell, the X Factor maestro who has helped guide One Direction’s career after the group formed on the reality competition, calls Malik’s comments “rude” in a new interview.
