The elusive chanteur Zayn Malik has been booted from his management company First Access Entertainment.
Surprising news below…
Responsible for making a household name out of Rita Ora, the thriving company welcomed Malik to its mix following his departure from the Pop group One Direction.
Alas, the performer’s unwillingness to promote the music his team works tirelessly to support has reportedly forced them to show him the door!
While the split comes at an awkward time — Malik just released the second single and video from the forthcoming album last week — sources say the artist is challenging to work with, declining many promotional opportunities and not touring behind his last album, although he is planning one behind the new set.
News of their split comes after Malik pulled the plug on his romance with Yolanda Hadid’s daughter Gigi and after the management company announced it was working with the rising starlet Ray BLK.
This boy WANTS the PERKS of fame, but does not want to PERFORM live. Does not want to Promote. Does want to do drugs. Does want to get high. BOY COME OUT THAT CLOSET AND BE GAY.
What does any of that have to do with his sexuality?
EXACTLY!!
Possibly EVERYTHING. Something is causing his anxiety and addiction problems. He may have a real fear of disappointing his mostly female fan base with the truth about his sexuality, IF he really is gay.
Who? I do not know who he is but I would bet that if he came out it would help his career. He has the looks to pull off what Adam Lambert could not…be sexually attractive to both gay men and women. Ricky Martin tried to do that but by the time he came out his looks were fading and he was sexually attractive to only some gay men. Sounds like this guy just needs some rehab and therapy.
You’re so spot on here jasmine ….facts and those are the top demography of actual music buyers
They helped him get a #1 debut single and a collab with a Grammy award winner Taylor Swift but he’s not putting the same amount of work in return(eg. TOURING). Then he says its due to personal issues like anxiety problems. I completely understand but still he should train harder to overcome it before he comes back again because as the saying goes “If you can’t handle the kitchen then stay out!”.
I’m just sayin’ he ain’t cut out to be a soloist in the long run if he keeps these excuses going. Do something about it or let someone else steal your spot in this industry.
More to the story than that. A manager is not going to drop a money maker unless bigger problems exist. The collaboration alone brought the manager money. Seems like more to the story like drugs or possible the artist had already fired the manager or the artist is out of control. Lots of artists do not want to promote because of personal issues and their managers are not dropping them. As a manager myself, you keep those kind of artists on your roster and try to motivate them. The only way I would drop an artist is if their life is so out of control it would affect my professional reputation in the near future.
He spends too much time doing photoshoots and changing his hair colour instead of promoting her music lol
Rita ora is not a house hold name. In the states she isn’t, That a false statement!!
The world dnt resume to usa.in europe and anywhere else ,shes a very big stars
She’s not a household name in Europe either. Have you not when she “auditioned” on The Voice Germany and they had trouble knowing who she was even after their chairs turned?
Yes. The “House hold name” got the side eye from me as well.
Rita Ora is a household name. She has enough popularity in the UK that some Americans know who she is and are fans of hers. Please don’t limit the term “household name” to the biggest stars. Artists like Leona Lewis from the UK is still a household name even though she has not had a hit in a decade. Rita is just not a big star but she has name recognition though.
Good, there too many hungry artist out here wanting a chance for people to be spending time and money and brats like Zayn. Cancel him.
These new artist are too used to over night success due to streaming. No one knows anything about putting in hard work. Everyone want to be Beyonce and Rihanna and Jay but no one wants to put in the years of hard work it took to build their brand.
Rihanna has barely gotten better at singing or performing. She gets her songs handed to her and her looks done for her. She is Not in the same league as beyonce or jay z… they are top tier talents and nobody can sing or rap their songs better than them… anyone can sing a rihanna sing better than rihanna and she’s been outsung by American idol contestants. She has popular songs tho
S****** do you ever tire of putting down black women? Rihanna is certainly in the same league as Beyonce just in a different way. Meme is talking about the music BUSINESS, not individual talent. Hell, if we were talking about talent then look at other performers who can actually sang and not just carry a tune like Beyonce and Rihanna.
Household name out of WHO???
This Kid. At first I completely understood his anxiety. I mean come from a huge group like One Direction becoming a solo artist is the big thing . And as someone who suffers from anxiety you never want to put yourself in a position or surround yourself in environment where you could have a panic attack .So the first solo album I completely agreed with him that maybe he should hold off on promoting the album if it’s affecting his health . It like me my anxiety and panic attacks lead to being diagnosed with severe depression .
But this is his 2nd album now is the time to get it together if he wants to prove that he is not just the kid from One Direction. He is not at the Point as a solo artist where he can just drop an album and let it do what it does. As a group they may have that power. But none of them can as solo artist. He needs to PROMOTE. He has the talent, He’s got the looks, the girls love them and he can sing his ass off. He just needs to show it.
His music is good and he has talent but not enough to carry him past his own lack of effort. I very much doubt he’s going to Tour for this album either much less make any real promotional efforts. Their are way too many other artists as talented if not more that are willing to work twice as hard for half the opportunities he’s continually throwing away.
Wow that’s crazy & I actually like Ray Blk sound!!
