Following allegations that he told fans to “get the f*** out of my way” as he was leaving his Manchester hotel on Sunday, Zayn Malik responded.
The 33-year-old singer of One Direction appeared clearly agitated in a video that TMZ was able to obtain, as several people rushing to grab pictures of him blocked the way to his waiting car.
According to the newspaper, Zayn eventually forced his way through the mob and jumped into his car after using the obscenity to snap at the supporters.
Zayn, however, has suddenly leapt to the defense of his followers, saying on social media that “various adult men,” whom he called “stalkers,” were the ones who had obstructed his path rather than fans.
The Pillowtalk hitmaker angrily responded to TMZ’s Instagram post about the altercation, saying, “Let’s get the facts straight – the fans were and always are respectful and amazing – the problem was the various adult men who stood blocking the hotel doors and the car for 10 minutes, not letting us or the security guards leave.”
Zayn went on to criticize the men, saying, “They are not fans, they are stalkers that show up wherever someone they want to meet is and do the same thing to everyone to try to get content.”

Zayn, however, has suddenly leapt to the defense of his followers, saying that “various adult men,” whom he called “stalkers,” were the ones who had obstructed his path rather than actual fans. “It is not safe and not okay and they ruin it for the real fans,” he said.
After performing in Manchester’s AO Arena as part of his Konnakol Tour, Zayn had left the hotel.
Wearing a black denim jacket, white T-shirt, blue trousers, and a backwards-fitting cap, the celebrity tried to blend in as he quickly left.
A female member of Zayn’s squad was also observed straining to follow him into the car as he struggled to navigate the crowd.
“You guys, he can’t get in the car!” she was heard yelling. “Please be careful!” followed by “How am I supposed to get in the front seat?” Please move so I can get in the car!
Only a few days have passed since Zayn was showered with water bottles at a fan Q&A in London on Thursday.
Due to a health crisis that sent him to the hospital last month, the musician has already canceled 22 shows from his solo tour.
A few admirers attended Zayn’s fan Q&A at Banquet Records in Kingston, but things took a turn when video showed the celebrity almost being struck by a water bottle hurled by a member of the audience.
“WTF someone threw water at Zayn???” was the caption for a video of the incident that was posted on X.
At the time, Daily Mail reached out to Banquet Records and Zayn Malik spokespeople for additional comment.

After performing in Manchester’s AO Arena as part of his Konnakol Tour, Zayn had left the hotel.
The Pillowtalk hitmaker was quick to correct the record in response to TMZ’s Instagram post about the confrontation.
Some fans were already furious about the event as the venue announced on X that there would only be one of the two scheduled Q&As because of scheduling issues.
The 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. events will be combined due to a last-minute scheduling difficulty, they stated.
“The venue will still be within safe capacity, so don’t worry.” If you enter the venue and have tickets for both the 4 and 6 p.m. events, you will receive a refund for one event. Send an email to mailorder@banquetrecords.com with the subject line “ZAYN merge.” Both your order numbers for 4 and 6 p.m. must be included. We apologize for the apparent inconvenience caused by uncontrollable circumstances.
‘OMG Zayn is so horribly unprofessional plz never deal w/him again!!!;’ was one of the many comments left by fans expressing their displeasure with the adjustment.
“Oh my god, so there’s no chance for the 6 p.m. crowd to be close?”
“I know it’s not your fault, but it’s so unfair; my friend who was in front of the line for the 6 p.m. event is now in the back because the 4 p.m. people are ahead of her.”On the actual day? When folks have most likely scheduled their entire day around the time they reserved?
The Dusk Till Dawn hitmaker had angered fans the month before by having to postpone an event due to illness.
On April 13, he was scheduled to perform a special One Night Only event at Circuit, Kingston, featuring new songs from his recently released album KONNAKOL, followed by a Q&A.
However, event promoter Banquet Record posted the bad news of the show’s postponement on Instagram after being “sick.”
Many fans were dismayed by the news, and it appears that many were already traveling to see the 1D star. Nevertheless, fans sent the star their best wishes.
