And Finally Artist News
Naughty Boy pleased about Zalik Malik’s success, despite falling out
By Andy Malt | Published on Monday 4 April 2016
Naughty Boy might have found himself on the outside of Zayn Malik’s solo career, after they fell out last year, but he’s not bitter.
He’s totally happy that Zayn has been able to go forward and become the artist he wants to be. Not that he’s listened to the former One Direction star’s album to check if that’s what actually happened.
“I haven’t [heard the album, but] that’s not a bad thing because I’ve heard it’s really good”, Naughty Boy told Preeya Kalidas on the BBC Asian Network. “I think it’s more testament to him that he’s gone away and made, finished the album and done other stuff and it’s not about my involvement or anything. It’s more about him being the artist that he wants to be and I feel like he’s in that place so good luck”.
“In terms of a voice, yeah he’s got an incredible voice”, he added. “And he is talented so you can’t really … knock that at all”.
I’m sure you’re all glad to know there are no hard feelings. Maybe Naughty Boy should change his name to Thoroughly Nice Chap. Malik offered no comment on any of this, except for sending his album to number one in the UK charts, which I guess is something.
