The Shady Side Of Zayn Malik

Zayn Malik and Perrie Edwards eventually called it quits in 2015. Edwards alleged that Malik dumped her via text message, which Malik denied, though he sounded more concerned with his own reputation than with his scorned ex's broken heart. Asking The Fader to quote him precisely, he said, "I have more respect for Perrie than to end anything over text message. I love her a lot, and I always will, and I would never end our relationship over four years like that. She knows that, I know that, and the public should know that as well. I don't want to explain why or what I did, I just want the public to know I didn't do that."

In the Little Mix autobiography Our World, Edwards claimed that after the breakup she was temporarily "homeless." She also told Heart London Breakfast (via The Sun) that the split was so bad she had a meltdown in an airport. I was like a women possessed! It was awful!" she said, adding, "I was either going to get put back on a flight back to the UK or put in a straitjacket!"

For his part, Malik may have left some hints that he cheated within the lyrics on his album Mind Of Mine, including on the track "She Don't Love Me," in which he croons, "I think I know she don't love me / That's why I f**k around." Not exactly subtle.
