Zayn Malik Booted From Tinder For Shocking Reason

Zayn Malik recently shared that he was kicked off of popular dating app Tinder for a shocking reason. So, why was the singer unceremoniously given the boot?

Zayn Malik Rose To Fame As A One Direction Heartthrob

Zayn Malik first rose to fame as a member of One Direction. The boy band formula worked magic in the past with the likes of NSYNC, Backstreet Boys, and more. Similarly, One Direction borrowed that formula to appeal to the masses of an entirely new generation.

One Direction had a chokehold on the pop scene from 2010 to 2016. Boy band runs tend to be on the shorter but memorable side. Each member has gone on to do their own things.

However, as many listeners see thanks to platforms like TiKTok and more, even NSYNC and Backstreet Boys members play shows together, with NYSNC recently reuniting at a Justin Timberlake show. When it comes to One Direction, you never know for sure if they’ll follow a similar path later on.

Malik Has Dated Models, Celebs, And More

With as popular as they were as a band, and as popular as they are individually, you might not think that someone like Zayn Malik would ever pop up on the likes of Tinder. After all, Zayn dated the likes of model Gigi Hadid, with whom he shares a child.

With dating options like that, many people may wonder why he even needs to be on a dating app like Tinder at all. In some aspects, it’s like someone on high coming down to mingle with the normies. When famous people have a habit of dating other famous people, the idea of someone like Zayn Malik using a dating app certainly does seem strange. Apparently, Tinder users felt the same.

Singer Kicked Off Of Tinder, Why?

According to Zayn Malik, there’s a shocking reason why the dating platform Tinder kicked him off. He recently dished that people on the platform thought he was catfishing them. Many asked him why he was using Zayn Malik’s pictures on his dating profile.

Speaking of his experience on the platform in an interview with Nylon, the singer said: “It’s not been too successful for me, I’ll be honest. Everyone accused me of catfishing. They’re like ‘What are you using Zayn Malik’s pictures for?'” The singer went on to add that he has been kicked from the popular dating platform “once or twice.”

While it’s understandable to be skeptical, it looks like a lot of ladies missed out on the opportunity to potentially date Zayn Malik. However, now that he has been open about using dating apps, perhaps someone will take him seriously down the line on his continued search for love.
