    Zayn Malik splits with Gigi Hadid after spat with her mother Yolanda?

    Yolanda Hadid claims Zayn Malik, who is in a relationship with her daughter Gigi Hadid, “struck” her last week, and reportedly she’s considering filing a police report.

    Malik posted a comment on Twitter from his Notes app in which he neither denied striking Hadid nor offered any words of apology or remorse for the alleged incident.

    Hadid and Malik’s romance is over for now, reported People. The news comes hours after TMZ ran a report where sources told it that Gigi’s mom Yolanda claimed Zayn “struck” her. Zayn “adamantly” denied the allegation in a statement to TMZ.

    Gigi and Zayn’s split comes after nearly six years of on-off dating. The two last rekindled their romance in late 2019. They welcomed their daughter Khai in September 2020.

    As per details, “Gigi and Zayn broke up before the incident with Yolanda. The two have been co-parenting but they are not together. They tried to make things work for their daughter, but it wasn’t working out.”

    Zayn made two comments on the strike allegations. He told TMZ after the outlet published their story that “I adamantly deny striking Yolanda Hadid and for the sake of my daughter I decline to give any further details and I hope that Yolanda will reconsider her false allegations and move towards healing these family issues in private.”

    The duo first began dating in 2015. Their first breakup happened in March 2018 after nearly two and a half years of dating. They both released Twitter statements at the time announcing the split. They reconciled a month later in April 2018 but kept their relationship very private and generally off social media.

    While they were blessed with a baby girl khai in September 2020. The couple celebrated her first birthday recently.

    Bella Hadid joins ‘Free Palestine March’ in New York

    Supermodel Bella Hadid joined a protest in New York in solidarity with Palestinian people against Israeli violence in Palestine.

    Sharing pictures from the protest, Hadid said: “The way my heart feels, to be around this many beautiful, smart, respectful, loving, kind and generous Palestinians all in one place.”

    “It feels whole! We are a rare breed,” she added. “It’s free Palestine till Palestine is free!”

    Pictures of the model at the protests went viral on social media with netizens lauding her for standing up for the opressed.

    Hadid’s father also shared the pictures of his daughter from the protest on social media.

    Earlier, Zayn Malik and Gigi Hadid also raised their voice against the continued Israeli atrocities against the people of Palestine.

    An Israeli airstrike in Gaza destroyed several homes on Sunday, killing 42 Palestinians, including 10 children, Reuters has reported. At least 192 people, including 58 children and 34 women, have been killed in the Gaza Strip since the latest violence began a week ago.

  • Grammy organisers eliminate ‘secret’ nominating committees after allegations of corruption

    The organisers of music’s Grammy Awards on Friday announced an end to the so-called “secret” committees that have led to allegations that the highest honours in the industry are open to rigging.

    The Recording Academy said that nominations for the next Grammy Awards in January 2022 will be selected by all of its more than 11,000 voting members, instead of by committees of 15 to 30 industry experts whose names were not revealed.

    The Academy was slammed last year when Canadian artist The Weeknd got zero Grammy nominations, even though his critically acclaimed album After Hours was one of the biggest sellers of 2020.

    The Weeknd, in a Twitter post last November, said “The Grammys remain corrupt. You owe me, my fans and the industry transparency.”

    The Recording Academy said in a statement on Friday that the changes were significant and were made “to ensure that the Grammy Awards rules and guidelines are transparent and equitable.”

    Allegations that the Grammy nominations process is tainted were made in a legal complaint filed in early 2019 by the former chief executive of the Recording Academy, Deborah Dugan.

    At the time, the Academy dismissed as “categorically false, misleading and wrong” Dugan’s claims that its members pushed artists they have relationships with. Dugan was later fired.

    American pop star Halsey, also shut out of the 2021 Grammys, last year called the nominations process “elusive” and said she was “hoping for more transparency or reform.”

    Former One Direction singer Zayn Malik called in March for an end to “secret committees.”

    “I’m keeping the pressure on and fighting for transparency and inclusion. We need to make sure we are honouring and celebrating ‘creative excellence’ of all,” Malik tweeted hours ahead of the 2021 Grammy Awards ceremony.

    Malik had also lashed out the awards saying: “Unless you shake hands and send gifts, there’s no nomination considerations. Next year I’ll send you a basket of confectionery.”

    The Recording Academy on Friday also said it was adding two new Grammy categories — for best global music performance, and best Latin urban music album — bringing to 86 the total number of Grammy Awards each year.

  • Zayn Malik and Gigi Hadid are not married

    Zayn Malik and Gigi Hadid are not married

    Sorry guys, but Zayn Malik and Gigi Hadid have not gotten married in secret as being speculated and reported.

    Social media was recently abuzz with news that the former One Direction star and his long-time girlfriend had tied the knot in secret after Zayn’s collaborator Ingrid Michaelson referred to him as a married man during a live session. Soon after fans of the couple started trending the hashtag #ZaynisMarried on social media to express their excitement.

    Turns out Michaelson made a blunder because she later issued a clarification, apologising for the accidental blunder.

    “So, I should be asleep, but it’s been a crazy hour, hour and a half,” said the 41-year-old Girls Chase Boys performer in her Instagram stories. “On my Patreon live stream, I said that I’m working with Zayn. I mentioned that he was married, and he’s not married. As far as I know, he’s not married. It was a mistake. I’m so sorry, I said I was sorry.”

    “I don’t live in this world. So the level of fame, makes me really, truly admire Zayn and anybody with that level of fame. Every little thing you say is just, wow! I’m not built for it,” she continued.

    Michaelson further said: “My apologies to Zayn and Gigi, if any of this trickles to you and is annoying. I’m sorry—that’s not my intention.”

    “And to his fans, I’m sorry for getting you all riled up, and much love to you all,” she added.

    Zayn and Gigi, who welcomed their daughter Khai in September 2020, have been dating on and off over the years. They reportedly met at the 2015 Victoria’s Secret after-party, where Zayn recognised the model “from her picture”. In an interview, Zayn revealed that he asked her to have dinner with him at a New York City restaurant called Gemma.

    “She’s a very intelligent woman. She knows how to carry herself. She’s quite classy and that. She’s not, like, arrogant in any way, she’s confident. She carries it well. She’s cool,” Malik had said in the interview.

    They confirmed their romance in December 2015, though they have had several breakups along the way. Their most recent split happened in January 2019, and the couple spent nearly a year apart before they reportedly began casually talking again 11 months later. In April, the couple gave fans a surprise when they announced that they were expecting their first child together. After the birth of baby Khai, rumours have often circulated that the two have gotten married. However, there has been no official announcement by the couple.

    Zayn Malik slams Grammys for excluding him

    Zayn Malik has hit out at the Grammy Awards for excluding him, five days before the music ceremony is scheduled to take place.

    “Unless you shake hands and send gifts, there’s no nomination considerations. Next year I’ll send you a basket of confectionery,” wrote the livid musician in a tweet.

    According to details, Malik’s latest album wasn’t eligible for this year’s Grammys because it was released after the cut-off date in August 2020. The lead single for his third album Nobody Is Listening ‘Better‘ was released on September 25, 2020, while the album itself came out in January 2021.

    Later, the British-Pakistani singer clarified that his comments were “not personal or about eligibility”.

    Instead, he was concerned “about the need for inclusion and the lack of transparency of the nomination process”, saying the current system and “allows favouritism, racism, and networking politics to influence the voting”.

    Malik has never been nominated, either as a solo act or with One Direction.

    Zayn’s comments a few months after The Weeknd, who was snubbed in this year’s nominations, accused Grammys organisers of being “corrupt”.

    Audiences and fans had expected the Canadian singer’s hit single Blinding Lights, which has now spent a record-breaking 52 weeks in the US top 10, to be among the main contenders. Instead, he was overlooked in all 84 categories.

    Terming the exclusion “an attack”, The Weeknd had said: “I’m not a cocky person. I’m not arrogant. People told me I was going to get nominated. The world told me. We were all very confused.”

    The Weeknd

    He added that the three Grammys he has “mean nothing” now and called for change within the industry.

    “In the last 61 years of the Grammys, only 10 Black artists have won Album of the Year. I don’t want to make this about me,” he added. “That’s just a fact.”

    Meanwhile, the 63rd Grammys Ceremony will take place in Los Angeles on March 14, with special staging to adapt to the pandemic era.

    The show will feature four stages, each with a small group of performers, nominees and guests, plus a fifth stage for presenters. The stages have been arranged in a circle, while a reduced crew will stand in the centre to film the proceedings.

    Beyoncé leads the nominations with nine in total, including four for Black Parade, a protest anthem released at the height of the Black Lives Matter protests last summer.

    Dua Lipa and Taylor Swift both have six nominations – with Swift hopeful of winning album of the year for a record-breaking third time for her first lockdown album Folklore.

    Performers on the night will include Cardi B, BTS, Doja Cat, Billie Eilish, Haim, Megan Thee Stallion and Malik’s former bandmate Harry Styles, who is nominated for three awards.
