Zayn Malik sat down for an interview on the Call Her Daddy podcast and went on reveal why he became the first member to leave One Direction. As per Pop Crave, he said, “I completely, selfishly wanted to be the first person to go and make my own record, if I’m being completely honest with you. I was like, ‘I’m gonna jump the gun here for the first time.’ I’m a passive dude, but when it comes to my music and my business, I’m serious about it, and I’m competitive. So I wanted to be the first to go and do my own thing.”
