Zayn Malik recently breaks silence after reports claimed he shouted at fans outside the hotel in Manchester on May 24.

In a video obtained by TMZ, the Magic singer appeared visibly frustrated as the path to his car was blocked by a flock of people who jumped to take a selfie with him.

The outlet alleged that Zayn lashed out at the fans using the expletive, before forcing his way through the crowd and getting into his car.

Now, the musician speaks up as he shared his two cents on the outlet’s social media post.

Zayn says that it wasn’t actually fans who had “blocked his way,” but “various adult men,” whom he called “stalkers”.

The Pillowtalk singer writes, “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 hits out at the men, explaining, “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.”

In the end, the Dusk Till Dawn singer adds, “It is not safe and not okay and they ruin it for the real fans.”
